Having some trouble with chat

Post by Paige »

Hello everyone. For the past few weeks I have been having some trouble logging into the Tazlure chat. It just won't load for some reason. If I use my real name it will load but if I use my character name it won't....anyone have any suggestions?

Does it give you any sort of error message or does it just stop? Also, are you using a dedicated chat program like Visual IRC, or are you using internet explorer?

I am using Internet Explorer.

I figured out the problem is because I can't remember the password to the nickname I was trying to use. :oops:


I have registered under Paige's full name now and things are running much more smoothly.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. :D

That is good to hear, that you are no longer having problems.

For causal chats IE is fine. However, if you are going to be doing a lot of chatting, then I would still recommend a dedicated IRC client. There are a lot of free ones out there that are quite good.

*nods* Dano is right. I find mIRC to be very good - free, and fairly reliable and easy to set up. Not everyone finds it completely unreliable, though. It might be worth asking around chat to see what other people use, and trying a few out? :)

I use Visual IRC, though I think mIRC might be a bit easier to set up.
