Main Ostomy Chat

[Kathy from England]

Main Ostomy Chat is Saturday 8pm UK Time which is 3pm EST ish.

Please join us for our first weekly chat on our own server. All
ostomists welcome, whatever the condition, whatever the age.
Maybe you face a possible ostomy in the future? Or simply want more
information? All are welcome.


To join Ostomyland via java go to:
http://ostomyland.com/mainsite/ostomyland-chat-room/

and join us in the ostomyland chat room from there. A free-to-use Java
Client is embedded into the page that is dead easy to use.
Nothing to download.


If you use mIRC, or Besirc or some other IRC Chat Client, here's the
NEW
server details you need to connect to Ostomyland:

Server: irc.ostomylandchat.com
Port: 6667
Channel Name: #ostomyland

If you prefer a specially configured version of mIRC is now available
which will take people directly to the new channel on the new server.
The download link can be found here:
http://ostomyland.com/mainsite/mirc-ostomyland-new-version-june-10/

WebTV Users, you need to use your own TV based software to join us -
included free as part of the WebTV browser software. Use the server
and port and channel
info when requested by your software to join.

If you have any questions or need help getting into chat, email me.

What Happened To The Main Site's Java Chat Client?
The java chat client which was used on the Ostomyland main site was
called "jPilot java IRC Client". Unfortunately, in 2009 this program
ceased development, and the security certificate used within it has
now expired meaning that connections made on it are no longer secure
and could possibly leave your computer open to a hacker or virus
attack.

Because of the expiry of the security certificate, and the end of the
jPilot's development, the decision has been made to remove the client
from active service on the website. This means that anyone who visits
the chat page now on Ostomyland's main site, will only be offered the
message board's chat room tab as a way of entering the chat room via a
browser. Obviously all this does not affect the mIRC type programs, so
that remains available as always.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused, but it is out of our hands due
to the end in development of the program - its a sad day for Oland as
we've used jPilot since the chat room started nearly 12 years ago.

However...
This week we've successfully transferred over to our own chat server.
Hopefully by the end of summer we'll be able to offer a secure version
of the jPilot java once again. :)
