Bug in 'NEW CHAT ROOM FOLKS!! come on in'

[kbe]

I just tried the new chatroom link. I received a message that an error connecting to server had occured and to try again in a few minutes, which I did several times. Then, when I tried to post a bug via the Community page 'here' click-on I saw this message:

Oh thats a bit rubbish.

I'll have a look at the bugtracker thingy - are you able to get into chat now though?

Just tried again Grant. No go and same error message. Any others not getting in?

OK I am in via going to Internet Explorer 8 direct rather than through AOL. It seems only going through AOL was stopping me..

I've just got in with no problems at all. I'm not sure if anyone else was in there, as no one replied when I typed Hello. I guess I probably scared them away hehe

I usually use AOL 9.5 for internet access. I cannot access the chatrooms using it. I get an error message telling me to try again in a few minutes, which obviously doesn't work even after several hours and multiple tries.

However, going online using Internet Explorer 8 and not going through AOL works like a charm.
