Live chat down?
Anyone else getting this message when they click on the live chat link?
Could not connect to forums.segwaychat.com:8080. Possible reasons include: - The chat server system at forums.segwaychat.com is temporarily unavailable. - Your computer is behind a firewall or proxy server. Please ensure that your firewall permits outgoing TCP connections to forums.segwaychat.com on port 8080.

Thanks. I don't use it often (obviously!) but it's always handy to have available when needed.

More likely, they just don't want to waste $$$ on multiple servers when one would do the job and consume less electricity as well as pocket change.
There's nothing wrong with port 8080. Even most corporate firewalls are maintained by people smart enough to know that port 8080 is usually auxiliary HTTP-protocol port. It's a bit more likely than port 80 to be blocked, but not by much.

All fixed.... Nobody's used it in so long, nobody noticed it hasn't been working for quite a few months (it was just pointing to the wrong place)!
