Is Neowin IRC having issues? I can connect to it, but the login fails.

As long as you are already on you are fine. I got disconnected as my surface went to sleep and now I can't get back in. The registration server is timing out is the error I'm getting.

Mr Davie knows about the issue and is fixing it.

[DaveLegg Developer]

Fixed :D

[xendrome]

Seems to be having issues again, at least for me

ERROR Closing link (xendrome@removedip) [Authentication failed.]

<Mike> articuno1au: reconnect

<+articuno1au> nope

<+articuno1au> I will not

<Mike> damn

<Mike> who's stu... swuzzlebum, reconnect

[xendrome]

Yeah my server is connected but my desktop can't....

Got it fixed I believe, looks like it was on my end this time.

No issues connecting here

i haven't been able to connect to the IRC for a couple months now, when i try to connect it just gets stuck at "Username and Password accepted, connecting..." and just sits there till it times out then tries again

What client are you using?

[Brandon H Supervisor]

What client are you using?

I use Hexchat (formally xchat-wdk)

weird, I just tested and I'm able to get on just fine on my nexus tablet

[b10h4z4rd]

I have no problems using hexchat at all.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

i think it's just a problem with my computer. I need to get around to reformatting it, it's got some issues here and there

[Brandon H Supervisor]

still can't figure it out. I can get on the irc just fine on my Android tablet, and i can get on other irc networks just fine with hex chat, but when i try to get on neowin I only can get this far

Update Checker plugin loaded

and it just gets stuck there

edit: here's a picture of it (ps. i manually told it to disconnect to show that it just sits there)

Odd, have you tried to remove the Neowin profile and create a new one in hexchat?

several times :/

[b10h4z4rd]

That's strange. Maybe try uninstalling it completely.

[Haggis Veteran]

i use xchat which is basically hexchat and it works fine

has it ever worked?

[Brandon H Supervisor]

yep, used to work just fine
