Atleast you can get in, it keeps keeps telling me that my user name doesn't exist and it won't log me in.

FinsnFur · August 08, 2006, 05:44:33 PM

Basshole, are you using the chat link at the bottom of the front page?

If you do, it should swing you right through.

Give me a few more details of what's taking place and we'll get you in.

Basshole · August 08, 2006, 05:50:52 PM

Yeah, I'm using the link on the front page, and it says signing in with user name Basshole, and then it comes up and says ***angel Erroneous Nickname.

FinsnFur · August 08, 2006, 08:47:58 PM

I wonder if it's doing that beacuase of the a-hole in your nick name. ...I almost snickered there.

I have got the profanity filer shut off though, unless the IRC channel owner is doing it.

Let me do some looking into it.

Basshole · August 08, 2006, 08:55:36 PM

That very well could be it, let me know what you find out.

Thanks

FinsnFur · August 08, 2006, 09:14:20 PM

I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but it appears as though they do have a bot on the system that watches for obsene, or or harrasing amongst many other things.

I finds it hard to believe it could pick those letters out of your name though, the name appears normal, it just sounds ...well....bad. LOL

Are you running any kind of antivirus or internet security? And if so what kind?

FinsnFur · August 15, 2006, 11:49:56 PM

Basshole, did you ever get this figured out? Haven't seen you in there and you never answered wether or not your running a firewall or have your browsers Java disabled.

Jimmie in Ky · August 16, 2006, 01:10:43 AM

All I get is a red x in a box. I assume that means I do not have java, correct? Jimmie

FinsnFur · August 16, 2006, 07:55:09 AM

That could mean you don't have Java yes, or that you don't have it enabled.

If you don't have java you can get it here http://java.sun.com/getjava free.

To see if you have it, or to see if it's enabled in Microsoft Internet Explorer all you have to do is click on The tools button on your toolbar, and click on Internet Options.

That will open a small window with your different options, and you'll want to click the "advanced" tab.

Scroll down the options that, that brings up and look to see if Java is in the list and if it has a check by it, indicating it's enabled. If not enable it and be sure to click apply when your done.

I've spent an hour going through everythng I can think of and this is what I get for chat...

A box with "Float" written in it. My work computer went right to chat the first time. Can't get the home one to fly.

I've got Java enabled...restarted this thing twice...something's just not ginnin here??

Brad

FinsnFur · August 18, 2006, 07:13:51 AM

I'm glad you provided that photo Brad

Take a look at your Norton Internet Security, there's something in there preventing it from loading on your computor.
I'll go see if I can recall which setting it was.

Brad H · August 18, 2006, 10:54:07 AM

I'm getting closer. I disabled Norton for 30 minutes and that got Java to atleast fire in the box rather that "Float".

The only problem now is I get "Loading Java Applet Failed..."

So there's still a glitch somewhere. I'll play with this a little more when I get time today.

FinsnFur · August 18, 2006, 02:34:49 PM

When you were confirming that you had java enabled, which version did it say you had?

If it's a Microsoft Version, it's outdated and causes nothing but issues anyway. You can download a better up to date and more reliable version right from Sun java at http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Keep me updated we'll get ya in.

Jimmie in Ky · August 18, 2006, 03:29:53 PM

Go ahead and download Jim's version there and that weill end your problems. I spent way to much time in there last night. Your norton may ask if you wish to allow it mine did.Jimmie

Brad H · August 18, 2006, 03:53:06 PM

Touchdown! I'm in.

That other version must have got it done. Thanks for the help guys. See ya in there.

Brad

Basshole · August 18, 2006, 07:25:28 PM

Just tried again, this time it came up saying logging in Basshole_Finsandfur, took me to the actual chat screen this time, then kicked me out again with the same message at the bottom of the login screen "***angel Erroneous Nickname"

FinsnFur · August 18, 2006, 08:41:12 PM

Once you get in, try double clicking on your name in the list, which will bring up a registration window allowing you to register your nick name.
Remember it wants the same log in info you use for the forums, the two are integrated and that's how it keeps out guests.

Basshole · August 18, 2006, 09:22:23 PM

It won't quite let me get that far, it just takes me to the chat screen says its logging me in and then kicks me out to the initial log in screen with that same error message. It's got to have something to do with my name.

FinsnFur · August 18, 2006, 10:02:25 PM

It's the name

I just tried logging into it as you, and got kicked also.

I sent you an e-mail with your new password by the way. I had to change it to get to the chat as you.

Basshole · August 18, 2006, 11:13:24 PM

Is there a way to change my user name? I looked in the profile and didn't see a way, if there is let me know figure I'll just change it to Ba$$hole.
