Hi Bob

Looking into it...

[Bob Reed]

Ok guys , sorry about this I will get this fixed today. I use MIRC to get in so I have not tested this in a while.

[Bob Reed]

Ok... When it java tells you about the security risk you have to tell it "no" or it will stop the script from running.

[Bob Reed]

I will be away today from 11:30 until around 1:30. Just a heads up.

...but I most likely will be lurking.

I can;t load the chat either..  comes up with a Java security exception error..

Thats because you are not reading the error properly.. Click "no" and it will let you in. 

[Bob Reed]

So you go to the live chat window and type in a nick name, click chat.. The Java loading icon pops, after a few seconda an error pops up " Stoped potentialy bla bla.." There is a yes, no box.. Click on no or Java stops running the script which means does not connect...

[Bob Reed]

Ok I have used 3 differant computers for test this this morning.... 2 of them had no issue but one did. Could you please describe your errors, giving me the exact message would be very helpful.

[Bob Reed]

Ok now up to 5 computers to test this and one of them was Mac using FireFox... Only thing I have had to do to any of the computers was update Java on one of them. Need your feedback here to fix this...

[Trevor Hale]

I didn't read the java window.. LOL      Just clicked yes, now I can't get that message back for me to click no!

[Trevor Hale]
