OK...LOL.....this stupid thing won't let me connect in the chat room. I might have known! AND!! I can't do the IRC thing either Never mind.....I should probably be doing housework or something anyway

Works for me... sure you clicked yes when it asked if you wanted to run the applet?

I know that I have a program on my computer that bocks downloads and viruses and stuff, I have to shut it down for the chat and the arcade for them to work. Make sure you don't have any anti-viruses or fire walls that may block the download nessesary for the chat.

There should be a way to just white-list this site so you don't have to disable all protection...

So, I attack your ports when I see you in the chat room eh?

 

Interesting.

 

J/K there will be a way to set access for the IRC in your options.

 

I like the new easytoaccess button btw.

These programs are meant for protection and if there was a way past it (other then the user disabling it) then it would be quite useless. These programs are easily disabled for a short period of time. I had to disable mine once so that this site could put some cookies on my computer so that it could "remember" me so I wouldn't have to sign in everytime I come.

sounds like a software firewall

 

do you know what this/these program(s) are specifically?

 

ie. I use Norton Firewall, and they have a feature to allow certain sites to accept cookies from, and some not; allow some applications to access internet, and some block, etc.

for anyone that has the old #scienceforums in mirc already set up, type in:

 

/join #physics

 

in the input or text box and it will automaticaly take you there anyway

The most popular one is ZoneAlarm (by far).

I always used thought Norton was, I (and most my mates) use zone alarm because of its size(and therefore its speed), is this why its so popular?

I suppose it's because it's got lots of features and you don't have to do much to get it set up (so it would appeal to the masses).
