jayenram Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Is the O.F.C.S. down to day or is it my end that's at fault? (07:10:04) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I just checked and it's up and running. Seems that they have changed the format of the Forum chat. Looks quite nice now! Maybe the chat was down during the upgrade, but we was not informed about any upcoming maintenance. Jayenram, please confirm that you can use it now.

jayenram Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Earlier I was getting an applet error - bad magic number. Now I'm getting a return of: "Applet Halted. This chat room is closed." Odd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayenram Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Still no luck george. It may be yesterday's quantity of *chang*. I'm back to receiving the return: "error: java.lang. ClassFormatError: default (Bad magic number)" I think I'll head off to the pub and try again later or tomorrow. Thanks anyway. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huski Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 George,(this is dutch on wife'scomputer) I got the same problem. message: load:class Client not found This was using the computer at home(pentium1,windows 98) At the company no problem (pentium 4,windows XP) What to do? Dutch The Load class Client not found error is among the most notorious of Java applet error messages, and can be caused by a number of different problems. Usually, this problem indicates that your web browser has downloaded/cached an invalid copy of our chat software (cache instability or an error in download). Minor network glitches between your computer and the download servers can also cause the problem. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the problem can be resolved by emptying your browsers cache (or Temporary Internet Files), then shutting down all instances of your web browser, and trying again. In rare circumstances, a reboot may be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesky Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 hi Huski, Thanks for the answer. However is it possible to put it in more understandable language (for me,may be)? At home I am using " Internet for dummies", so you can see where my question is coming from. Thanks anyway. DUTCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayenram Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 I've tried emptying the temporary internet files folder, rebooting but to no avail. I've also tried using Internet Explorer in lieu of Netscape but get the same response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayenram Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 On Paddy's advice, I re-downloaded Javascript yesterday but still cannot access the O.F.C.S. Same message returned. I'm getting withdrawel symptoms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf5370 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Just wondering, you said the problem was on the 98 machine, but was OK on the XP machine, right? Huski, could it be the version IE or Java VM that he's got on his old box? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayenram Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 Right! I've finally got rid of the old Commadore 64 and upgraded to an all singing, all dancing Pentium 4 with millions of magawhistles. However, still the same "bad magic number" error return when logging on to OFCS. Considering that everything I am now using is new (hard and software), the only constants appear to be me and my ISP (csloxinfo). I'm being driven slowly crazy!!

jayenram Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 No one gives a flying Jayenram.Time to move on. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I certainly get that impression, Patrick. I am now of the opinion that "Forum Support Desk" is a misnomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
