Halitech Report post Posted May 2, 2017 I'm pretty sure the boss is aware the chat isn't working but was wondering if there was an update on when they hope to have it working again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johanna Report post Posted May 8, 2017 IPB discontinued the chat software with no notice or explanation for all their customers. The word is that there was an exploit in it that they couldn't patch or fix. I'm getting a third-party chat software like we had in the old old days, but I want to make sure the new software is safe and works properly. Give me a day or two and we'll be back in chat, then I will need you guys to help me make sure everything is working properly and do whatever tweaks we need. Thanks! ~J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pnj Report post Posted May 14, 2017 https://kiwiirc.com/client I'm using that client. I created a #leatherworker room. We can use that until we get the other one back up and running. Let me know if you need help. I'm 'SansGato' in that room, most of you would know me by pnj. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pnj Report post Posted May 16, 2017 Let me know if you need help using the above IRC chat web site. It's pretty simple but may be a little confusing so just give a yell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
