I can not get in to chat. Nor can someone I contacted. This person claims that they were in chat "earlier" but I swear I saw them in there a few minutes ago. I was in chat until my wifi disconnected me. We both get authentication failed messages. I use Chrome. This has happened to be before, in the same circumstances (disconnected from my end). I've also noticed I do not get autokicked for inactivity anymore. I tend to toss myself in bed when I go to bed irregardless of what's open on my browser, for the past two days, chat remained open for the entire time.
I think that this info may, hopefully, lead to a solution.
Thank you.
edit - I've tried logging in and out. I will now try a total browser restart
edit - the poster below is the "someone I contacted". I tried a browser restart and still can not get in. I am trying to get a hold of someone in chat to tell me if I am logged in, and if so, to ask to be kicked, to see if that fixes the problem.
edit - I'm in chat every day, multiple times a day, and have only had problems in the ways explained above.
edit - I've had site admins tell me they are having difficulty getting in right now as well :\
edit - I've been able to figure out my account is not logged into chat. It looks like chrome is not working with chat ATM. I will try another browser and return here to report back.
edit - Firefox, IE, and Opera do not work either. I normally use Chrome, so I dont know what versions these other browsers are, but they are as old as they are allowed to be (IE, the only updates to them are any automatic updates forced)
I'm going to "sit and wait" as the above is everything I know how to do.
