Accessing Chat (Section 21) On a Mobile Device (The Fix)

So we had this conversation in the LTE2.0 today.

Has anyone successfully used crazie talk chat on their phone?
I had no idea it didn't work. The link www.crazietalk.net/chat simply leads to "not found". I've tried adding the http:// in front with no change.

I'll need to see if I get the same result using my Android tablet, never tried it with that, either. I've posted in a support forum for the software (AJAX-Chat, it's an open source program) so hopefully someone there will lead to an answer. A quick bit of research via Google didn't give me much.

:-\ :Think: :-B

I know in the past it had to have worked, because we had people popping in to say hi while at games during the game.
I had forgotten something, so I gave it a shot, and it worked!

To access chat on a phone, go to the Home Page (www.crazietalk.net), and scroll down. At the bottom you will see the option to select either "mobile" or "web". Click "Web", and then click the link to the chat page. Voila! It's weird, but it works.

:happy-bouncyblue: :-B

I did a test run. Got in, but couldn't send my message. If I hit enter like on my desktop keyboard, the cursor dropped to the next line. I chose an emoji, and that worked upon hitting "enter". Did the same with an emoji built into my phone, and that worked too, but the emoji (a simple sad face) didn't actually show up in the chat window.
So all in all it works, but it's buggy, and chatting on your phone in Section 21 is a pain in the ass anyway. :p
