PESTERCHUM 3.41: Updated Pesterchum! New Thread!

[KarneWarrior]

Sent out a bug report.

Is anyone actually helping on this thread? Could someone try to contact me at burningFrost? I'm not sure if it's not recognizing the handles as online or if it's really disconnected. Either way I can't message anyone.

[Tomias]

A quick google search saves everybody. First thing I found was a link to an older version of this exact thread that stated that that actual error is in fact a reference to you not being able to connect to the server. Considering you've been having this problem for a while, yet I had a long pesterConvo last night would insinutate that your error is infact client side. Your chum has some issue trying to connect to the server. While I cannot advise you on the program itself, I believe I remember reading somewhere that Pesterchum needs to go through a certain access port on your internet. Chances are that port is designated to something else, thus Pesterchum can't go through it to get to the server.

Was there any way to fix it? Because I uninstalled and redownloaded PEsterchum and such, but to no avail.

[CorianWornen]

What is you chum handle?

I found a common issue but I need to see if it is the case.

[CorianWornen]

Okay, since you don't seem to be online I'll just post this here. First and foremost: This is for the Errno 10060. Second: A quick google search is your friend. Since I had the time I was okay with doing this for those who needed it. Third: There are several possible reasons for this error:

1) The server itself is having connection issues
2) You are logged in under another name
3) The handle you are attempting to use is already in use

Given that I can still load pesterchum up I would assume that it is one of the latter two, and since you uninstalled and reinstalled, that leaves the third meaning that at a point where you were logged off someone else logged on and claimed the name. I figure this to be a fairly rare occurance but given the nature of an IRC system it is plausible. If I read something else correctly there is a way to stake a claim to the name through calSprite but I have no clue how that works. Anyone willing to help me on that part?

My chumhandle is vulpineEnthusiast, but I had the problem before I uninstalled, in fact it was the Errno 10060 that was my motive in doing the uninstall/reinstall thing. This would infer that whilst someone may have taken my chumhandle whilst I was uninstalled, the chances of it being the initial cause of problem are slim.

Also I must thank you for all the help, I really do appreciate it, and the only reason I wouldn´t derp about on Google for ages looking for this is atm, I have a fualty charger cable for my laptop, so to recharge it, even for a bit means i have to hold the cable in a twisted specific way for it to charge. My new one should be in by Monday, but until then, I have to keep my on laptop time to the rationed way I´ve had it so far.

[CorianWornen]

Well it isn't your name being taken. It's not on the list of Users.

[CorianWornen]

Okay. Now I'm having an issue. I tried to open my window of pesterchum, it had MAJOR issues. It tried to keep my old window open (but wouldn't let me see it) while opening a new one. Once I finally managed to reset those windows, all my quirks were deleted and it said my name (codeEverlasting) was taken. WTH?

[Tomias]

Maybe pesterchum is starting to glitch like hell, due to increase in users. Especially since the level of Homestuck awareness has increased due to the Kickstarter, thus more people on Pesterchum than ever before. An Errno 10060 is a server issue, which could mean the servers are having difficulties keeping up with whats going on, and are systematically failing at various times and in various ways. Or perhaps the client is glitching and may need a patch, idk XD

[Toboe]

I'm getting Leopard on my Mac today. Hopefully it will work now? Something tells me it won't and nobody seems to have answered any questions at all let alone those on Mac issues ._.' (or they might've been answered but i'm too lazy to read through 70 pages of other questions oops)

So guess i'm outta luck if it doesn't work this time. Oh well. Skype works well enough for me.

[AratnitY]

Two questions:
-Is there a way to permanently keep a memo open?
-Will there ever be some sort of portable install for USB drives and the like?

[Tomias]

Please can someone give me a way to fix this, this is day 3, and I´m officially losing my shit. I´m freaking out, and about 5 seconds from flying off the emotional ahndle into a sea of despair (or some shit idk). I´ve never been this long, disconnected from my friends, and it hurts so much inside I just feel like crying all the time. Please...I need to get back in...

[Random_Odd_Guy]

First off, pesterchum doesn't crash from having your handle taken, it just prompts you to use a different handle, I know this from being on multiple connections at once

[Reality Glitch]

Did anyone make the pesterChum theme from Denlocked an actual theme other people can get, because I want a copy.

Nevermind, I've made one I'll put it here when I can.

[Tomias]

Okay I still can´t get into my pesterchum, and I don´t know whats going on. But I´m honestly scared right now, I had to take a couple valium earlier to calm down. I miss my friends so much,a nd it´s been like 5 days since I´ve last spoken to them.

Stupid Errno 10060, why do you even exist ;A;

PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS MYSELF, AND I´M HURTING SO BAD DUE TO FRIEND SEPARATION RIGHT NOW...PLEASE HELP ME ;A;

*sob*

[AMi]

I've been having the same errno 10060 for a month and a half now
I would really like a solution myself. :/

Have you tried deleting your pesterchum appdata?

[j0hnsm1th]

I also am getting the 10060. No fun.

[Tomias]

Have you tried deleting your pesterchum appdata?

Yeah it didn´t work. Neither did changing the ports, and I have no idea how to unblock the irc.mindfang.org thing if thats whats happened. I mean, I added Pesterchum to the list of allowed programs, but it hasn´t worked. And this is on both my computers on the network.

[Tomias]

(this is 100% truth, not bullshit to get a sympathy vote. I don´t in fact want symptahy, I was just explaining myself so I don´t come off as being immature, or a wierdo.)

Sorry again, just bumping this thread because I need help so incredibly badly, I´m prepared to take risks and doublepost in threads and shit. I´m scared guys...the guy up there has had this Errno 10060 thing for a month anf a half...I can´t go through that, I´ve been diagnosed with an abandonment complex, and what will probably be diagnosed soon as a cehmical imbalance in ym neural functions or whatever. Aka, this may not be a big deal for most people, but for me...I need it because my friends on there, without it...I have difficulty dealing with it. I´ve been getting into pointless arguments with my family, irl friends, because of the stress and inner heartbreak this Errno thing is causing me.

So yeah, this problem is 1. literally starting to tear my family apart, 2. is already well underway with tearing my heart and feels apart.

Please help me fix this Errno 10060 thing...please...

I have been having a problem with Pesterchum, it is not opening. I can click on the ICON as much as I want but it won't open, I have reinstalled it multiple times. How the problem started was I began to have constant error messages everytime I tried to connect, it would say Error, then some numbers and asked if I wanted to reconnect, no matter how many times I did it, it never worked. Eventually pesterchum stopped opening for me, and that was the last thing that happened. I haven't been able to use it for months now due to this problem, I have seen other people have had this problem, but I never saw the answer to why it WON'T OPEN. If anybody here has the answer please tell me, there are many pages on this thread and looking through them for the answer will take too long.

If you did try to change the ports to fix your Error before it stopped opening completely, thats what probably caused your unopening problem. I had the same thing when I tried to change my ports, but once I put it back to normal, it would open...albeit with the Errno 10060 issue.

[madisonrose1010]

Okay, sorry if someone's asked this before, but pesterchum won't open for me at all. It used to word perfectly, never got a single error message or anything, and then one day I woke up and said "I wonder what my buddies are up to," and pesterchum was like, "Hahaha, naiive human. Thinking you can be happy. How foolish." Then it was all like, "nuh-uh I'm not opening" and I was all like "nuuuuuuuu." I get the little hourglass loading thingie when I click the icon but nothing happens. I reinstalled it every way I can think of. Then again I'm not a tech person so maybe that means jack shit, but I really miss my intrawebs buddies, can someone please help?

[Random_Odd_Guy]

Tomias, since the port changing didn't work, are you CERTAIN you changed the port to what they told you to?

First off, go change it back. Second off, in that same area, replace irc.mindfang.org with a different server name

Yes I changed the port to both the numbers you gave me in the PM. Also, what "same area" are you referring to. I don´t remember seeing anything saying irc.mindfang.org at all in the pesterchum.jp file or whatever. Or what other servers there are out there that Pesterchum could work from.

I´m not trying to make excuses, I just honestly don´t know how to do this.

[Tomias]

I'm just here to say that my chum handle is destroixEverytime.

There is a chumhandle thread bro. Not being mean, just letting you know.
