I'm having a few technical difficulties with the chat!


Question Posted Monday March 7 2005, 6:30 pm

I've been having a few problems trying to get into the chatroom lately. Everytime I open it up, it will say that it's loading Java Applet... After about 5 seconds this message shows up: java.lang.class.NotFoundException:Chat.Class. I've tried loading in several times with no luck. I'm horrible with computers so I have no clue what "java.lang.class.NotFoundException:Chat.Class" means. I've never had problems with the chatroom before and I've never been banned from it either so I don't know what the problem would be. If someone amazingly wonderful with computers could help me out that would be PERFECT! Thanks so much if you can help!

Maybe give some free advice about: Advicenators?

It would appear that javachat is totally dead.

The applet was provided by sorcery.net - I will guess that they pulled support for it, or that they are mucking with it and broke it.

Using one of the "real" java clients, like mIRC as Fern mentioned, is the better bet anyway.

javachat is dead... long live javachat


EDIT: Look at the current site news. ;)

it seems people cant use it properly.. It may be a problem with java server.. it may be overloaded.. or whatever.. just give it a chance to clear up.. it'll sort itself out.. try again tomorrow or try downloading mIRC.. you can find a mIRC client really easy through msn.. just look it up :)

It wouldn't work for me either. I reccomend you asking Advicenator_Admin or MFS or Draak since Fern already answered. Most likely Advicenator_Admin or MFS will be able to fiz it, I don't really know all that much about Draak except that Draak is also a level 3, but usually I always here about MFS fixing the problems. Sorry I'm not much help, just trying to redirect you to someone who might know.

It looks like I can't get into the chatroom via Javachat either. I attempted to access another website's java chat through the same way and it didn't work either.

I really recommend getting mIRC however, it is just a lot better to begin with.
