I noticed that all day yesterday, and again today, that I cannot 'Connect' t the Message Service..... I have asked 2 other VK's and they have the same problem..
Is this a sudden bug, or does anyone know what may be causing the Message Service to currently be not working ???
A server issue or some other problem ???

Message Service not working
Re: Message Service not working
Tag has decided to leave the project forcing us to move the message server. We had to change the address which will require it to be changed in all clients that use the Off Air Message Service including GridTracker and Log4OM.

How to fix chat:
Locate config.ini file in your settings folder (menu HELP -> OPEN CONFIGURATION FOLDER)
Edit config.ini file with notepad or similar, find the row:
[CHAT]
SERVERADDRESS = wss://tagloomis.com
START_PORT = 18260
replace with
[CHAT]
SERVERADDRESS = ws://oams.space
START_PORT = 18360
please note that the prefix changed from WSS to WS only

Any changes needed/required for the RANGE and/or DEBUG_PORT values?

No other changes should be needed.

Re: Message Service not working
Just to tag on to this discussion.
I'm now one the lead developers for the server software that powers the chat function. I'm open to any suggestions for any potential improvements or new features. One I'm interested in implementing is expanding our realtime spits feature to make it something I think would be of more interest to non FT8 operators as well. I currently also operate a DX Spider cluster and will be brainstorming how to bridge the two so we could deliver traditional DX spots with user set-able filters via the same network connection as OAMS.

Re: Message Service not working
Matthew, would it be possible to have the chat window auto open when someone sends me ( /you) a message ??? I have noticed that in reality, very few people know of the chat feature and even fewer know what the little flashing red square is.... auto opening the window, like the one in jtalert does, would solve this ....
