Chat Authorization Error Workaround (possibly)

[Guest a**m*s]

If you are getting this error and are using a browser other than IE, this may be the problem. Michelle_MA discovered that switching back to Internet Explorer prevented the error.

I tried Safari, Firefox and Opera on my Mac. No go.

 

I am not installing IE on this laptop :)

Ah, it could be a mac issue... My MAC is down right now... I can't even check. ;(

When I click on the 'Chat Room' link it pops up the window, then gives me an auth error as before. I have to manually type in my username/passwd

and it works from then on.

 

Thanks

I second the note above. If I re-enter the Creds then I get in. BTW Mac with Opera here.

 

Go figure Mod fer a Fanboi :D Love my 4 year old PB 13". 'Cause it's not the size, but how you use it!

Same problem. Not just a mac issue. Using Firefox on a vista home premium system.

That's what I was using... No problems now that I switched to IE...

I tried it on firefox and IE using vista premium as well and can't recreate the same problem. Sucks cause I can't fix it if I can't see it.
