I've got a similar problem - when I try to enter the chat room, it just keeps re-loading. As far as I can figure out it's to do with the fact I'm on a proxy server at work. Is this a problem with Macromedia or SH?
The though of only being able to chat when I'm home disturbs me! :lol
Anyone know how to get around the proxy/flash problem?
After a long techno babble conversation with Elliot, basically if on a proxy, connecting to the chat room will not work.
is that the cartoon on cbeebies?
The problem with using a company server is simple. Your employers don't want workers surfing porn all day when they should be getting on with work. Even though your natty little computer on your desk can be customised by you , all acess to the net is handled via the server, that is locked away safe from fiddling hands. Unless you actualy have acess to that server 1/ physicaly 2/ via administrator status then anything you do can be prevented, like acessing chat,porn, or anything deemed by the company as inapropriate.
It is technicaly possible to link up via say your home computer from work and so piggyback to whatever you want from there, but bearing in mind you are not bypassing the company server and as data flows both ways, it may still stop you va firewalls or other safegaurds to prevent hackers etc. Also be advised the server will log all traffic and a simple logfile printout will identify you !
No - not working . . . . .

Ahh techno ! Tis my mission in life to debunk and de mystify ! All I mean is that although you have a compuer at work, the actual control of what you acess is limited by your employer ! There are ways around, but this entales acess to the server, passwords overides etc etc etc . Think of it like a kid wanting to acess porn but his parents have enabled a porn filter ! Probably this site forum is not classed as usuitable but the "chatroom" element is ! Even on this machine of which i have complete control, I have to drop security down a notch or two to even get into the chatroom due to active x and flash media being a potential security problem !
