IRC Chat Network

[christina>you]

I don't know why, but for some reason I can't join the chat network. I tried #kingdom and #daniweb. But it just brings up a blank page.

[Dani]

Please make sure you have the Flash plugin enabled for your web browser.

[blud]

I'm not showing anything on the server end on why it wouldn't load for you, have you tried an alternate web browser? It sounds like you are missing a plugin.

[christina>you]

Yeah, I think I am missing a plugin.
I always use Firefox but I just tried it on IE and it worked.

[christina>you]

What plugin do I need for Firefox?

[Dani]

Macromedia Flash.

[Dani]

Oops ... Adobe Flash :)

[christina>you]

Ok thanks.

[christina>you]

It says I have version 9,0,47,0 installed.

[Dani]

Then there's no reason why the irc chat shouldn't work?

[christina>you]

I don't know? I downloaded it again and it's still not working for me. :(

[~s.o.s~]

Yep, Tina is correct, it doesn't work for me either when using Firefox.

Does this work for anyone who can't load the IRC Java web client?

In any case, Christina, you should consider downloading a standalone IRC client if you're planning to use it a bit.

[Dani]

The Java web client no longer exists.

[John A]

My bad! I *meant* the Flash client.

[Dani]

It works fine for me from IE and FF. I asked blud to try it as well and it works fine for him too.

[christina>you]

Hmm... I wonder?

[Dani]

It just suddenly stopped working one day?

[christina>you]

Yep. :(

For Firefox get ChatZilla

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16

It works great.

[Dani]

That's what I use.

[christina>you]

Okay, I just downloaded ChatZilla and tried it again... it didn't work. :(

[Dani]

Chatzilla is its OWN IRC application. Once it's installed, use the Tools dropdown menu in FireFox and click on Chatzilla.

[christina>you]

Oh I see.

When it opens type: /server irc.daniweb.com in the message box at the bottom.

Then type /join #daniweb
