Just wanted to let someone know that after I press "Create" I get an overlay that says "Connecting" and it appears to be stuck there, since it never connects. Developer console has an error "Failed to load resource" on this URL http://www.recitethis.com:8901/socket.io/1/?t=1355166704000 My quote was "I dream beyond my means"

Chrome Version 23.0.1271.95

For me, nothing at all seems to happen no matter what I click on, after I enter a quote in the box; there's no error message though.

Well, If I click on "find a quote" it does take me to a page of quotes; clicking on anyone just takes me back to the home page, with any message I entered still in place.

Not even sure what this is supposed to be showing off (other than dodgy site programming)...

sorry to hear about your issues, snogglethorpe. what browser are you using?

Firefox 17.0.1

[same behavior at work (behind firewall) and home (no firewall)]

what platform? I just fired up a version of FF on Mac OS X with the identical version you are using and everything seems to be working.

Debian

hey zoba,

are you able to access this URL[0]?

[0] http://www.recitethis.com:8901/socket.io/

Ahh, no it looks like I can't. I think it is my company's web filter. They do block out a fair number of ports.
