Error With Chat
 

See attached image.

Try it in another browser, Java has been screwing lately.

yup getting that same error. Tried 3 different browers, all the same result.

Im at work so I cant test it anyway. If I get time I'll have a look over the weekend, but tbh, if its broken Im more inclined to simply remove it rather then try and repair it.

It works for me using IE8, but i have to accept a security warning on Win7 (need to answer with No!!!).

It can be related to your security/internet settings.

I just logged in just fine (xChat on a Mac).

Yep, its truely awful to use, but it worked ok for me.

I set the settings to accept connections to YES

The vBulletin.org Chat is also available via http://vbirc.com/chat/?chan=vborg if you don't like java.

Maybe you could make an iframe to mibbit instead of the java client.

Marco: You can perhaps replace it with a mibbit widget, which works for more users than java.

namecheap.com had a massive ddos attack on their v2 dns system, resulting in timeouts, causing customers (like vbirc.com domain) to have unresponsive domains for some users.

It worked fine for me, but not for some others, but anyway, that could have been the culprit on the 16th.
