Marlowe Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Well, my IRC window closed, then I tried to rejoin and I got this message: Any idea on what I can do to get back on? Just pmed you mate, give me a shout on msn if you have any luck. If anyone else has any such problems, there are a number of things to try: a) Check that any firewalls on your home network / pc are not blocking the Java client or any ports it uses. Reset to ensure that it is not an issue with the application having frozen up (Java can seem to do this from time to time, especially on older systems). c) Use a dedicated non-Java based IRC client (such as MIRC). This is something I would recommend if you intend on making regular use of the IRC chatroom. For more information on this, please consult the FAQ thread in this section or post up a query here.

Ubar Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I didn't ban him Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Just as an addendum to the above: d) Make sure Ubar hasn't banned you for breathing. Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 ... Don't feed the Ubars. Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Do feed the Mistfit though. Preferably to any passing large carnivores. Link to post Share on other sites
