Short introduction to our online IRC chat

mgr

A common problem seems to occur more frequently with our Java IRC client.

The applet needs permission to access your internet connection to communicate with our IRC server. That causes the [desc=Java runtime environment]JRE[/desc] to alert you that this application needs rights that could possibly threaten your system.

The text in that window is written as block this application (recommended) and the active answer button is "Yes".

I can assure that this applet is permanently checked on our server by a couple of malware check-programs - so there is no risk to damage your system by this Java application. BTW: this program is the most used client on our IRC server and I have never heard a complaint about anything bad with this applet.

So: you can (and have to) click on "NO" for not blocking the application to enter our chat.

Hi mgr. Thanks for a great site.

So you know I tried chat yesterday, said "no" to the popup and ended up with just a black screen. No sign of errors after leaving it for many minutes. Can't right-click in the black area.

I just tried it again now too with the same result. Using Java version 6 Update 22 and Firefox 4 Beta 8 on W7 X64.

Hi elektrotek

Maybe the following link could help you, Mgr explained with pics what had to be done, Tiptoe didn't follow his instructions and couldn't enter the chatroom because he answered "No" to the 1st warning, instead of answering "No" to the 2nd warning.

After this mistake, Tiptoe couldn't enter the chatroom anymore, no matter how many times he tried (it's your case now) . The solution was to uninstall Java, then reinstall it, answering "Yes" to the 1st warning, then "No" to the 2nd warning…and all went fine.

@blackdid:

…because they answered "No" to the 1st warning, instead of answering "No" to the 2nd warning.

No, no, that's wrong and I can't edit :cry2:

1st warning : answer YES
2nd warning : answer NO

Mgr is sure wondering why he prepared pics and we didn't follow his instructions

electrotek

Thanks for the tips blackdid. I only got the one yes/no prompt (about blocking) which is similar to mgr's screenshots at http://community.gaytor.rent/index.php?topic=13531.msg58077#msg58077 … no bother, I can install mIRC and use it that way. Thanks again!

I have to apologize now - sorry for my missing picture about the first security question

As an excuse I can only say: that security question (expired certificate IIRC) was (some months ago) shown every time when the applet was loaded - now in one of the last updates they obviously remember you answer for the future because that question doesn't show up any longer (might also be the cause is upgrading Opera to Version 11).

Bottom line: this (former) annoying security warning has silently gone

Very interested in entering the irc chatrooms but when I type in the server and channel it never seems to connect.

I'm using this for server: irc://irc.gaytor.rent:6667/Gaytorrent.ru
I'm using port 6697 as shown on the chat instruction page
I've tried switching SSL connection on and off to no avail…

I can't seem to get the Java client to run on my macbook in Safari or chrome

so... what gives? Am I doing something wrong?

I don't really use irc, I've only used once many years ago so I'd appreciate the help getting into that chatroom.
