I really enjoyed meeting up with people in the chat room. Now its gone? Any idea when it'll be back up? or is it gone for good

I see the only option under "chat" is the webcam chat which does not work on my machine at all. I suspect that I bomb the room out whenever I try connect too. Is there any special software that I should run to be able to join the room? I get kicked right out of Firefox/IE7 when I try connect. Big-time errors there.

Hopefully the regular chat room will be up again soon!

Nope

Doesn't work for me. I've got a pretty stable machine, latest drivers and versions of IE/Firefox. Still not working for me. I doubt I'm the only one who can't join the room either.

Other room not coming back up? Too bad.

If you still can't get in, let me know.

If you managed to get it, what have you done?
Hopefully there are not many other people with the same problem that just haven't bothered to tell us

Thanks for looking into it, Toby. Thought maybe this info could help?

I've gone and manually updated the Firefox version, the java version and IE version. Tried it from both IE and Firefox again... same problem. Here's another sample error report that I'm getting:
