Please disregard this post with my sincere apologies. I just saw that someone helped me with this issue about a month ago, and answered my question.

In the evening, usually between 11 and 12 (PST), the chat will rarely allow people to log in. If you're already there, it lets you stay, but if you try to log on, you get the black screen. I do not know if it has to do with bandwidth throttling or what, but at exactly midnight, everyone pours into the room again. Usually, I don't get caught, but tonight I obviously tried to log on too late for the "allowable" window!

I run Linux on my netbook, and haven't been able to get to the chat for months with Firefox, Chromium or Opera; I get the empty black screen. Oddly, it was working fine earlier in the year, though I can't pinpoint exactly when it broke. I have the Java package installed as far as I can tell, and I haven't noticed any problems elsewhere on the web. Firefox runs the chat fine on the WinXP machine here, through the same internet connection.

Cool, I'm a one-percenter! Heh.

The rest of the site seems to work fine. Chat just takes me to a black screen. The status bar shows the usual "Waiting for..." and "Connected to..." messages, but when it gets to "Done," there's still nothing. Might the Java there have changed in a way that is throwing off Linux compatibility? Is anyone else here using chat successfully with a Linux system?

The chat page is blank/black; viewing the page source shows it saying "This application requires JavaScript. Your browser either does not support JavaScript or scripts are being blocked." I have everything Java/popups enabled in Preferences, and have installed every Java component that seemed relevant on my system. Oh well...

Worked fine for me just now.

[suchaminx]

I sometimes get a black screen but if you wait about 5-10 seconds it usually works

Is it possible to access chat room from iPad? My laptop went dead so working off iPad until can get money for new pc.

It seems to be working now after installing the latest Moonlight runtime, which is the open-source Linux implementation of Microsoft's Silverlight. So that's all OK, for the moment at least.

[Captivesoul]

I am on a Linux system and had the same or a similar problem until just today. I believe installing the Moonlight runtime (open-source implementation of MS Silverlight) was what fixed it. Maybe chat needs Silverlight to run?

For the past two days when I click on the chat button, in either Firefox or Chrome, I'm taken to the front page and unable to reach chat. Is this a problem just for me?

[subpeter]

So after reading through this thread I tried everything I could think of but when I try to open that chat all I get is a blank page. I'm not sure what's going on here. I've tried opening with a different browser, rebooting, I've tried on different days and times but nothing seems to work any ideas?

Here's my problem. I can type here fine, but in chat when I start typing it bounces me to the search mode for the internet while I'm trying to type. On a droid phone. Can you help? Do not want to seem rude to others in chat when I can not respond. Thank you.

Chat is unable to enter from 2am eastern to around 3, 330am eastern almost everyday, if you are trying to enter around this time just wait it out and try again after that hour, hour and a half is over.

[peach]

Sorry T, i would have told you a long time ago if i thought you didn't know about the time going down at night and yes if you are in there before then it works just fine. It's been this way for months and months, Master and i tried to remember how long ago it was but it has been a long time since it started happening. We just know because his lunch break is at 2am and he can't get in, ever when he comes home on break but almost as soon as he leaves to go back to work i can get in.

[Sir Scot]

I have the same Problem

[Sir Scot]

Yes, It Is quite frustrating, Isn't it?

[Sir Scot]

Can you tell me3 how to get the plug-ins/.........duhhhhhhhhhhh

[kathy350]

Has something happened to the chat link? It seems to have disappeared from the bar at the top of the forums.

[domminter]

Hi Kathy how are you. As you can see I have joined the site. I don't know much about the chat link.

[MistressPC]

I guess theyre revampimg the site, im sure the chat link will return soon

[spring]

*sigh* I miss the chat...it's my morning indulgence....

[joanofarc1431]

Sadly since the revamp nothing seems to work. It would be good to tell someone about it but it has taken me several goes to get this posted and the chat room does not seem to exist at all. Used to be a good site...pity it seems to be wrecked.

[rai]

waaaah!no chat??been accessing it since this morning..miss everyone..x.x

[laylawest]

Hope it returns soon. I miss chatting to everyone!

[jules]

So many kinky people getting withdrawal from chat... thank goodness I managed to get a fix this morning before it went down....the trouble I got in then will keep me going a few more hours.

Hurry up Torq..missing my friends and getting worried it might not be up for tonight...

*waves to layla, rai and kathy*

[Cumplete Cuntrol]

It is like a drug, isn't it, jules? :-)

[Jollyoldchap]
