Chat Problem

[sixers33 3]

/// I get this when trying to connect to the chat:

Could not connect to www.simtropolis.com:8080.

Possible reasons include:

- The chat server system at www.simtropolis.com is temporarily unavailable.

- Your computer is behind a firewall or proxy server. Please ensure that your firewall permits outgoing TCP connections to www.simtropolis.com on port 8080.

/// It was working yesterday but not today... help?

Well, its not the end of the world sixers.

And its not just you.

Dirks new software upgrades must have done something to port 8080 on the Simtropolis server.

Nothing major to worry about. With any upgrade comes pesky bugs.

I think the 'Chatting' bit is still reporting the users that were there last night, before the site went offline.

It appears to be a software problem with this board, not the servers.  In any case, it will get fixed when it gets fixed.  Meanwhile, if you can't find anything else to do, why not go play in the traffic?
