RCRS Server Down

[Billum]

Hello, I am experiencing a problem with the RCRS server.  Right now this message is popping up.

As a side note: I was previously having the problem addressed in this post: http://www.x86labs.org/forum/index.php/topic,9357.15.html
I followed the advice given there which, I believe, was to install a previous set of plugins.  The result has been the abovementioned error.

Thanks for all your help.

I haven't actually run an RCRS server for over a year. I suggest downloading the latest version, which has been re-written to use BNLS, a completely different service. You can find it on the downloads page (on www.javaop.com).

Thaks for the response!  I now receive this problem as was addressed in the previously mentioned post:

It seems to me that in that post they mentioned that I should download a previous set of plugins...

Thanks

From what I see there, it looks like the BNLS server is out of date. There are other ones out there, but I don't know any offhand. You can try pointing it to jbls.org. The configuration for the BNLS server should be in the global settings, IIRC.

Fantastic!  Thank you so much for your help.  Apparently I just fail at switching the BNLS servers.  My apologies.

No worries, glad it's working out for you. :)
