Title: New Jabber conference for avast users
Post by: VojtaN on August 30, 2010, 01:30:18 PM: There is a new user chat room for users who want to discuss their problems with avast in real time.
This chat room is NOT visited by avast staff on a regular basis and is therefore not a channel for discussing problems with avast support staff.
You can enter the chat room using your IM client which supports XMPP protocol.
For more information please see http://public.avast.com/chatroom

Which one would you recommend ? We have experienced problems with some jabber servers such as neko.im

All I can say is that jabber.org didn't work but 0nl1ne.at does, it also offers more server features.

Post by: Hermite15 on August 30, 2010, 05:06:14 PM: just an advice, for those not familiar with jabber, using Psi might be a good idea as it's extremely simple to manage http://psi-im.org/

Post by: bob3160 on July 06, 2011, 11:46:58 PM: Maybe if some of the dead ones get cleared, there'll be room for some replacements. :)

Post by: chocholo on July 12, 2011, 10:08:59 AM: Sorry, we've changed server software and conferences were present under different service name (conference.avast.com instead of xmpp-chat.avast.com), now it should be fixed.

Post by: Hard_ROCKER on July 12, 2011, 11:19:45 AM: Is there anyone online on the Jabber servers or are they empty as usual ? I don't have a jabber client installed atm but if there is anyone online, i will install Pidgin or something.

I usually end up being in them, since pidgin connects when I start it (which is how I saw that the servers were different)...but from what I remember, they were usually empty.

I think, for a support option, they are too hard to join for the average user. I think there are probably better methods to provide a support option. (IRC springs to mind - even allows from within browser)

At the moment, with the server change, pidgin is not connecting.

oops yeah, that's new, the link still worked a few days ago. They probably shut down the site... well the software hasn't been updated for at least a year. Well there are so many other alternatives for jabber... Pidgin, Miranda, even Google Talk ;)

Post by: DavidR on November 23, 2011, 02:25:40 AM: - Please start a New Topic of your own here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0 (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0) (click the New topic button at the top of the page see image) as this is unrelated to the original subject and will just confuse the topic and we will try to help.

In that topic post what avast version you have and its build number e.g. is it 6.0.1289 the latest regular release.
