Scouse Gits · May 24, 2002, 05:22

No registration screen - no problem

Everytime I click the chat link, I get a 404.

Someone else said they get the same thing. I am cookied.

MarkG · May 24, 2002, 06:44

do you still use the ip address to access the forums?

RedFred · May 24, 2002, 13:58

I can't get in either.

I don't know because I can't figure out how to get my bookmarks to display locations. But I did recently update the Apolyton address.

Assuming IE - hover over the bookmark or right click and select 'properties' -- but given you're asking I guess its not IE ...

Thanks Scouse Gits, I think I couldn't figure it out because I am a computer moron. I am going through 64.246.32.51 which does indeed look like an IP address. What should I be using to get into 'Poly?

MarkG · May 24, 2002, 16:11

http://apolyton.net

http://apolyton.net/chat for the chat

RedFred · May 24, 2002, 21:03

Something doesn't seem right still. Instead of getting that 'Congrats, you found a missing page...' error, going through MarkG's link tells me I have to register or I won't be able to post here at Apolyton.

alva · May 25, 2002, 01:21

strange thing for me is that i get it sometimes!!
works fine most of the times, just not alwayss, why?
??
(not a real problem, just wondering, that's all

)

btw: using XP, fully updated

Sarxis · May 25, 2002, 03:55

MarkG, I got the 'congrats, found missing page' this last time.

But when I click on the link in your post, I connect fine.

MarkG · May 25, 2002, 05:05

Anunikoba, stop using the ip address for the site. use http://apolyton.net

RedFred, change your "browse with cookies" setting in the options (the error text you get should have a direct link to it)

ravagon · May 26, 2002, 01:06

I've always had the browse with cookies tag on but not the auto login. Would that make a difference? I can't get in either. I'm sent to the Profile options or login page every time.

MarkG · May 26, 2002, 05:57

possible, yes. try with the auto login option turned on

Hmm, never did use the IP address, just the link provided at the top of every page [ | chat (2 people) | ].

But I just went ahead and made a bookmark to the chat directly. All's well.

Dauphin · May 28, 2002, 14:56

The link at the top still informs me that I am finding missing pages. They're always in the last place you look.

MarkG · May 28, 2002, 17:46

please copy the link and paste it in a reply

Dauphin · May 28, 2002, 17:53

Sometimes this

http://64.246.32.51/chat/index.php3?U=Sagacious Dolphin&PASSWORD=&N=20&D=10

Which doesn't like it.

But other times this:

http://apolyton.net/chat/index.php3?U=Sagacious Dolphin&PASSWORD=&N=20&D=10

Which it does like.

Maybe I should just rebookmark my link to the forums which is currently:

http://64.246.32.51/~admin1/forums/index.php

MarkG · May 28, 2002, 17:55

your bookmark should be http://apolyton.net/forums

Dauphin · May 28, 2002, 18:08

I thought it was, but the link is different to the name of the link. Why would it be the one with numbers anyway?

you probably changed it when we moved to the new server while the domain was no working for you
