Ha! "good lord [username redacted] why did you ask so many non-programming questions on SO? – Jeff Atwood♦"

This is what crashed the XMPP component:

Now, is it the plaintext or the HTML which is killing it?

... let's find out!

♦

Plaintext works fine

I'm testing just one more time using plain text

OK, in plaintext that shows up as:

I'm <i>testing</i> just <b>one</b> more time <code>using plain text</code>

HTML text re-enabled

testing again...

wtf?

@JoshsSocks Nice work, lol

Invalid XML, eh?

Acirc

Acirc, acirc, or ACIRC may refer to: *Â/â ("A with circumflex"), for which the reference Â/â may be used. *Advanced Cross Interleaved Reed-Solomon Code, an encoding used for magneto-optical discs.

This letter also appears in Croatian, French, Galician, Portuguese, Serbian, Slovenian, Frisian, Welsh, Turkish, and Walloon language as a variant of the letter “a”. Usage in various languages Croatian and Serbian "â" is not a letter in the Croatian and Serbian, but simply an "a" with the circumflex. It is used only occasionally, in order to disambiguate homographs which differ only by length of the vowel.

@Fosco I wasn't running it when you posted this

7:55 PM

@TheUnhandledException still want me to try ?

@Sathya Sure :-)

I know oneboxes break it

@TheUnhandledException alright gimme few minutes, downloading psi

don't have it on my work laptop

No problem, thanks :-)

what port does XMPP use ?

@Sathya 5222

TLS/SSL should be on

8:07 PM

well, 5222 seems to be blocked.

can't connec

@Sathya To my XMPP server or another one?

If not, it's no biggie :-)

@TheUnhandledException well, to connect to yours I need to join an XMPP server.

@Sathya Ok, yeah, I just wasn't sure if you created an account on mine or if you were using an account on someone else's

@TheUnhandledException I created one on codingteam.net

@Sathya Ah, OK

8:10 PM

tbh I just followed the wizard in psi XD

LOL

next thing I know there's an xmpp username registered on that server.

your xmpp server is xmpp.smart-safe-secure.com ? @Josh

@Sathya jabber.smart-safe-secure.com but just smart-safe-secure.com works too

You'd register, for example, sathya@smart-safe-secure.com

yep, I'm unable to connect to yours as well. @Josh. Office firewall.

Sounds like you're blocked

Yeah, no problem
