What the hell happened to irc, what is this policyfile.exe stuff i have to do?

IRC on UOR is no longer working for me, the solution is a Silverlight Flash Policy thing in which i have to alter the Listen Port number and then launch it from another executable file. Wtf happened?

I'm having the same issues right now

connect to Chat4all[webIRC]

join channel #renaissance

Yup

The past few days, people using our flash chat, have been unable to connect to our IRC servers. This was caused by Adobe suddenly proactively blocking IRC ports 6666 to 6669. Luckily we also have port 7000 available. I have updated the flash policy daemon to use port 7000, and also updated the flash chat to use this port. If you host your own flash chat, then make sure to make it connect to port 7000 as well, or else connections might fail. More info from adobe's forum: Adobe Forum



http://www.chat4all.net/ i used this way to get into irc

Thanks everyone!

I still cant connect through the web page =[

i still cant connect through the web page even after Telamon said he fixed it. Anyone else having the same problem? and if not how do i fix my computer to let me?

i can't either... still using mibbit which is ok except for the lack of a ping or sound for pms

@Chris , theres still a problem with irc from the web page

Yep, I still can't get on irc either. ( web site one)

To solve just clear cache browser, cookies, etc... it work for me.

k, not computer nerd...where do i find the cache browser and cookies on my laptop?

CTRL-SHIFT-CANC
or read here: Firefox, Chrome, Explorer.
Remember u'll loose history, password saved, etc...

Thank you

I,ve cleared browser history, etc, still won't open

when u clear, have u still open the uor irc page?

no. I ususally do that before I turn computer off for the night, or right before I try to open uor-irc page. should i have it opene when I clear browser history?
Or should say when I try to connect to uor-irc, been getting that "policy page thing."

01-13-2017: Around january 10th this year, Adobe released Flash Player version 24.0.0.194, and with it they silently blocked IRC ports 6666, 6667, 6668 and 6669. This causes (mainly) lightirc based flash chats to display the following error message while connecting:

Flash policy problem. If you are the server owner, please read http://redmine.lightirc.com/projects/lightirc/wiki/Flash_Policy_setup_instructions. You need to install a flash policy daemon at irc.chat4all.org (port 843)

Solution:
If you operate a website using lightirc flash chat, and you see the above mentioned error, you will need to update the "port" or "params.port" variable/setting of lightirc from 6667 to 7000. You may also have a "policyPort" variable defined, which is probably set to 843. This variable should not be changed.


peace, out

How do I change the port my light irc gets on? I'm just a client using windows 10, edge and/or chrome browsers.
