IRC Web-Based Client Doesn't Connect

[Dave Sinkula]

IRC Chat Network - the web-based client link brings up the DaniWeb IRC Client, but it doesn't connect.

It works fine for me.

[Dave Sinkula]

It doesn't for me. I think John sees the same. And I was initially tipped by GrimJack.
Dave: http://www.daniweb.com/chat/ -- does the web client work for anybody?
John: Trying to Connect - www.daniweb.com
John: Not Connected.
John: Trying to reconnect in a few seconds...
Dave: Same here.[edit]Ah. In with IE, not with FF.

[Dave Sinkula]

[edit]Ah. In with IE, not with FF.

And not Safari nor Opera for me (even though Opera is kind of a lame example). It's still broke.

[Dave Sinkula]

Still broke. Is this in the queue?

[The Dude]

Ah. In with IE, not with FF.

Connects fine for me in FF 1.5 :)

[Dave Sinkula]

For me it seems to have issues in FF 3.0.1.

[peter_budo]

Yes the browser IRC doesn't work

[scru]

I can confirm this; Firefox 3.0.1

[The Dude]

We had someone try it on 3.01 earlier and they got on!! (They had one failed attempt (The same as Dave is having))

It stopped working ages ago <_<
I informed the admin about it then.

[The Dude]

It stopped working ages ago <_<

It did??

Funny i was on it yesterday :icon_smile:

[Sulley's Boo]

On my side it did :icon_neutral:

[Dave Sinkula]

Can anyone else verify whether this potential workaround works? (I like the client better anyways.)

[Sulley's Boo]

^
Yes, it works.

[MidiMagic]

I had trouble with the entire Internet that day. Nothing would load.

[blud]

I was using FF 3.0.1 and didn't have any issues.

Update: annoyingly it doesnt work for me as my university seems to block IRC?

[John A]

No, the chat page is blocked for everyone (403).

Third party web-based clients can still connect fine though:
