Chat room technical difficulties
I've tried to log into the chat the last few days and each time I just get a box that pops up saying "Notice: Wrong Password". I'm already logged in when this message appears, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Has anyone else had this problem? :confused:

question to hosting company
I have a message into our hosting company to see what the problem is. It is a different host than we use for the board. This issue is happening to me also. I will give an update when I get one..Sorry for the issues....
|
update
The chat hosting company is actually quite responsive. I got a message back saying they tried and didn't have a problem getting in. I just tried and it said "Wrong Password" again. If anyone else would care to click up there, where it says "0 users in chat" and see if they can get into the chat (user id and password should be the same as the board, I believe, as mine is) then it would help a little. Just let me know if you can get in or not. Just a few folks would be great. That chat function is really neat, once it's working again, if you have never been in there. ..thanks

Leon,
I just tried to get in and I can't. It comes up with the "Notice - Wrong Password". Haven't been able to get into the chat for a few days. |
I just tried and still no luck. :(
|
thanks
Thanks guys...I will send the report of issues along....sorry for the inconvenience .....regards
|
works now?
It works in both Google Chrome and IE8, for me now. Once you go into the chat room it will say wrong password. Just hit the ok button, put in your password, ......and it let me in. Can anyone else check it out and let me know please?

one more question...

and just tried again, and it's still working for me :( |
I normally use Firefox, but I switched to IE (version 8) and still had no luck. I clear my cache, history, cookies, etc every time I log off, so I'm still not sure what's wrong? :confused:
|
Leon---
i just tried & it won't let me in either. I tried your way, but the wrong pw box just keeps popping back up every time!
|
thanks again
Thanks again...Fred....I will let the powers that be know what is happening....
|
For what it's worth, I downloaded Google Chrome and it didn't work for me either. I guess I'm 0-3! :(
|
well

Seriously though....I did send the message that I am the only person able to get in. It would be quite lonely chatting with myself......We'll see what they say. Thanks again for the heads ups..... |
update
The technical folks told me that we need to have our own login and password for the chat room, which I guess I was unaware of? So, what I would suggest is just register on it with the same one you use for the board, login, and that should work....but I guess, they are saying we have to create a new login there (is the issue)....I dunno, but if someone besides me, because I am already able to login to it, would do that and let me know, then that would be great...thanks again
|
Leon: I just tried to register in the chat section. When I entered "kawika" as my username it told me that name was already taken. By me, I guess. I tried again with a different username and was able to successfully register and log on to the chat room.

hmmm

I tried to register again and it told me that my user ID was taken. I tried to use my eBay ID and I got the wrong password message. Before it automatically signed you in when you clicked the chat link at the top of the screen so I'm not sure what the deal is. :confused:

Leon---
We were ALWAYS able to just enter the Chat Room as long as we were logged in on the Main Board---One shouldn't have to create a new name & pw--that's crazy!
|
you are right....

I'm guessing they changed the software or something. After I made a new user id and was able to log on I noticed they took away the button that allowed you to share pictures. That was a really cool feature since you could share a scan of a card that you had saved on your computer with everyone in the room with one click. Hopefully they can add that back.
|
seems to be ok
A few other guys and I were just in the chat room. They told me they thought it was back to normal. I think the hosting company had fixed my login anyway, but let me know if it's not back to normal for anyone. Also, I hope folks will remember it's there and use it...as well as under the "community" tab at top, where photo albums and stuff are. Pictures are super easy to upload and they are permanent and free.....regards
|
I've been able to log in just fine today, but the insert image button under the "other functions" menu that used to allow you to post pictures saved on your computer into the chat still seems to be missing.
|
I just tried---Waltzed right in! No error screen--looks like it's back to normal!
Good job Leon! |
I don't use this but...

I just tried to log on and not only am I getting the "wrong password" message again, it's showing four different chat rooms and they are all written in Egyptian (seriously!). :eek:

I don't know if the chat room has been hacked or what, but it's a little creepy when you log in and get a "Welcome to Egypt" message and a couple guys typing in Arabic. I don't want to end up on a government watch list for trying to go into a baseball card chat room! :eek:
|
yikes
Yikes, I just tried to get in there and I think I might have found out where Bin Laden is hiding. He is in our chat room!!! Actually, I figured these 123chat folks were in some other country by the way their emails to me are. That isn't a big deal but I do think it's kind of creepy seeing Egyptian writing in our chat area. Here is the message I just sent them-
"Hi Aaron There seems to be someone in the chat area on my board that is writing in Egyptian and freaking out my members. If that continues I will need to throw your software in the trash bucket. Whomever they are says they are logged in as "admin" and I can no longer get into the chat at all. Nothing is working and since ya'll upgraded the software it totally sucks. Thanks leon" |
Thanks for looking into it. If Bin Laden is hiding out there I found him first providing the FBI still has a $25 million reward out! :D
|
this really loud arabic soft rock plays too...weird.
|
chat room
Why are people in chat room chatting in EGYPTIAN ???
|
The chat is down and locked again showing Arabic or something...
|
we know...

Tunisia and Egypt fallen, protests in Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and Iraq, rumblings in the Net54 chatroom. The clock is ticking, Leon.

I was in the chat room the other day and there were 2 people in there (names that I didn't recognize)......all of a sudden I got a message that flashed on the chat room that said: "Banned".
I hadn't seen this before. Very strange stuff going on in there lately. |
I wasn't able to login - wrong password it said but like others have mentioned their were three arabic names and clicking on them pulled up this site, though you may not want to click on it:
