Dear fellow SolidIRCers,

today we started to update all IRC related software to the newest versions and branches. This includes services and serversoftware (ircd). After we updated the services, some users expected problems with their nickserv passwords. If you have a problem with your password too, please leave a message in our helpchannel (#solidirc) and a staffmember will send a password reset email to the mailadress you used for registration.

In the next few days, more updates will happen, so please don't be alarmed that we have more netsplits or not available services/functions as normal. This should be over until friday.

 

Regards,

Phantomal

 
SolidIRC is exploring Web 2.0 PDF Print E-mail

Hello,

SolidIRC can now be found as a group on Facebook. And besides that, we have a Twitter account. Today we're not entirely sure what exactly you will find there in future, but suggestions are welcome. Channel owners could introduce their channel for example, or we could post the weekly top 3 IdleRPG Players ;). Another Idea is to use this new way of communication as support channel. You can ask questions, we can post technical issues or the Tip of the Week.

As written above, if you have any cool ideas what you want to see there, let us know.

 

Greetings,

Phantomal

 
Temporary downtime of most Services PDF Print E-mail

Dear SolidIRC Users,

one of our serverprovider has gone broke. Unfortunately this affects the SolidIRC mainhub. At this time, the network is splitted and only working under emergency conditions. You can connect to starfleet.solidirc.com and chat like always, but there are no services available.

I will inform you as soon i know more.


EDIT 17:30 CET:
The new Mainhub is online and the Network is connected. And i just installed the Services and fired them up with the Backups i made. All the Toys and special features will be transfered to the new server too, but since dns changes taking a while, this will not happen today,

 

Greetings,

Phantomal

Howdy,

after 4 long evenings of work, everything is back to normal operation. I had backups from all services, so you should not see any difference. DS9 got back online today, and will rejoin the network as normal server soon. Thanks for your patience and sorry for any inconviences you may had in the last days.


Greetings,

Phantomal

 
Upgrade and new Webchat PDF Print E-mail

Dear users,

we deployed the InspIRCd version 1.2.6 yesterday evening. This should fix the crash on netsplit bug we had twice last week.


New Webchat!
I replaced the old Java based Webchat with an AJAX enabled Webchat. The new Webchat can connect through most firewalls and proxyservers, because the irc connection is maintained by the webserver. Additional to the embedded Webchat at our Homepage, you can use this new Webchat for your own Communities or Websites. There are 2 Ways to do that:

1. You can start the Webchat Application, klick the icon in the top left corner and choose the menuitem "Add Webchat to your Site". A wizard will start and help you to generate the needed piece of code to embed the webchat into your website.

2. You can add a Webchat link which looks like the following: http://webirc.solidirc.com/?channels=#yourchannel


Please note, that even if the irc connections are maintained by the webserver, all limits and security functions (i.e. max connections per ip) fully working.



Greetings,

Phantomal
