Then I'm not sure, as I'm only using IE7 (yes I'll get told I'm a bad boy soon enough, but IE 6 doesn't run in 64bit mode)

For me it's been an issue for months that something mucks up in how flash interacts with the browser, and it's not just here, so I jsut have to do what you've already said you've done, and clear out the cache, delete all cookies, whipe temporary files etc....

If it's also effecting Firefox, I would venture a guess that it may be slightly related to the loadtime/server issues that have been recently reported, but as I've been out of school for too long the info is past me, and webhampster, beaker or the other technical guru's could prob help better.

thanks dispater! i appreciate your feedback. i do use ie7 and up until this past week or so ive honestly had no issues. i rather like it.

Howdy!

I am having a problem getting into chatroom

I am a new member. Here is the problem: When I click on chat, I get a new window where initialization happens. Then I get an error saying "user name is reserved. Please try another username"

I haven't seen anything in the faqs regarding this problem.

It wont log me in to the chat.

Any ideas?


Thanks in advanced

There is a rule for general posting that states:

The same may apply to the chat room. After the 24 hour period is over, if you are still having problems, let us know. In the meantime, be sure to read up on the Rules.

Howdy!
I will wait another day to try the chatrooms again.

I understand the 24 hour posting, as explained in the rules. But obviously, I am able to post at this time.

Perhaps the chatroom takes longer? I will try getting in tomorrow.

Thanks ^_^

cant hurt none the less :)

Hiya, I deleted all the cookies, cleared the history, deleted the tmp files, rebooted, logged back in(remember details) logged out,, logged in,,,

Finally!!!!

That was my problem. I am using a shared computer and never checked the remember me setting. Tried that and was able to get into chat, but it was a little hard to follow along. I'll try again though.


Thanks.

Im having the "Username Reserved" problem too, cleared out all cookies etc etc even used CClean on trash files and still cant login...any help ?

sometimes i just get the login page..the remember my name and password box is checked..it says in red letters "failed to connect to server"...usually if i see this and try again eventually i get in...but today i havnt been able to . after searching through this thread and tryong everything i am still at a loss. thanks wyldfyre for making this thread i have just noticed it for the first time today. thanks too everyone for all the helpfull hints :)

seems the chat room was down part of the day and is working fine now..IJWTS :whistling:

You're welcome!

Enjoy chatting...

Ok, tried for 2 days to log into chat. I get the beastforum.com/chat window but no chat, no place to sign in just a page with the HELP and EXIT buttons at the top working? Any help?
Thanks

New chat is much improved but I can't always get in. Won't connect to server or timeout message shows. I have window washer that clears out all the stuff I need, so don't think it it that. Yesterday I was in the room for a hour or so then it lost connection and I could not get back in.

I want to thank everyone for the helpful information, but this is what finally got everything working! Thank you so much KnotBigEnough!!! I was becoming very frustrated! .......and that's not good! <wink>
