Let's clarify this.

Redbreast chat IS working, and has not had any downtime in months. We use it every night without fail. The message forum also works fine. So you have a problem and the best way to solve it is to email me at the address below. This is not something I want to discuss on the Tech Forum. Believe me there is NOTHING we could do with a java applet to make it crash firefox. I should also mention that that particular applet has not been changed in over 3 years. I suggest getting another version of java; some users had problems with some versions. Or try another browser. You could even try Internet Explorer just for testing purposes; it should work fine. Opera also works. So I take it what you meant to say was "Redbreast Chat is not working for me." Don't worry, we'll do what we can to help. As for the Message Forum, it's working fine too; there have been a number of posts on it in the past 24 hours. I've no idea where to look for yours, however, since you've chosen to post here, for some reason, as anonymous. Dunno, that makes me feel like a non-person; users of the chat are even afraid to say they use it? It's not illegal, ya know! Somersault
