Jabber notifications

[phlip]

Is anyone else having troubles with the Jabber notifications?

I've had the forum giving me notifications in Jabber for ages, and it's been great... but recently (about a week ago), they stopped showing up...

I went through the instructions in this thread, just to check everything was still set up right, but it seems to be fine. I tried sending an IM to forums@xkcd.com, as suggested in that post, but all I get is an uninformative error message from Pidgin saying merely "Code 500".

I know my Jabber connection is still working... I tried that today, a friend with a GTalk account sent me some messages, and it worked. I don't think anything at my end has changed at all since it last worked...

I'll switch back to email for now, but I hope I can get the Jabber dealie working again, because that really was a lot better.

Yeah, it's stopped sending me messages as well, which has forced me to actually refresh my e-mail inbox regularly.

Mine has also stopped. Anyone know if davean's read this thread?

If it helps narrow it down, according to my logs, the last notification I got via Jabber was on 25 Sep 2008, at 9:25 PM (UTC).

I recently got pidgin and gmail working together again and have noticed that I am not receiving any Jabber notifications lately. Does no response in this thread in the last month indicate other people are still having problems?

Yep, I'm still not getting Jabber notifications either.

Interesting, I am. I'll have to look into this.

Woah, I come home today to find a Jabber window open with a whole pile of forum notifications in it.

Seems this is working again! Yay!
