You can test your speed using a website like www.speedtest.net

I only use Chrome at work, but it may come with a built in pop up blocker. I'd have to check which I couldn't do until Sunday at the earliest. If when you have chrome open you can click on the menu, you should be able to view something like preferences. Look in there to see if it says anything about pop up blockers, or java preferences to see if your preferences would need to be changed or updated. You may also want to check your security preferences too.

i tested my computer and it says i am running 3mb a second... i went into chrome settings and nothing looks out of the ordinary... the pop up blocker isnt a issue because the window pops up, it just stays blue and nothing appears... not real sure what else i can do, unless someone wants to access my account, but i dont see if that will help...

Could it possibly be related to the authentication issues?

DarknessWithin · 29-04-2014, 12:59 AM

Authentication failed.

You need to calm down, chat isn't the be all and end all of the world. Well it is for some, but you're a newish member so you can't be that fixated :p.

It was working for you the other day, and today it isn't which must mean theres nothing wrong with your personal computer settings unless you're swapping computers/using a library computer or going out of your way to change your settings.

But if nothings changed from the last time you were able to get in chat then just wait it out.

However I just realize you posted this at 12:59 which means you probably couldn't get in because of the whole '' You can't get into chat between 12 and 1am.
So I'm really hoping you have managed to get in now to save anymore melodramatic stress.

I too, do not understand why you seem to think it has anything to do with good or bad luck. It's technical issues, clear and simple.

You should be good now to try again, and let us know if it works.

This. We have yet to find any detours. My remedy has been to create a thread in general so I can ramble on while I can't get in, hehe.
