Since the chat server crashed yesterday, it appears that newer team members are unable to get into their group chats either ingame or via IRC.
We know that the devs are working to fix this - but in the meantime, here is a workaround for those people:
Close your foldit client. Log into foldit website, then go to this link http://fold.it/portal/user/me/edit/IRC
Check the box, then reopen foldit game.
If you have an IRC only nick, repeat this after logging into foldit website for that nick.
Thanks to Judecca for this information!
Yes, it works. :)
In my case after I click "fix" buton blank page appears.
But when I use this link again proper messages ("all fixed") shows up.
we are working to fix this, thanks for your patience
Restored users from 02-02-2011 to IRC server from database, so all users
should be able to login to IRC server. Let me know if you know someone
not be able to login to IRC server.
I am working on restoring groups/channels now.
Restored groups and channels.
Need some tests.
I think i have done what is said but it is not working
Followed the instruction. Mibbit - when I try to join #global it responds with "128.95.1.227 (dead)"
Try to goto first tab which has 128.95.1.227 on the tab. Then identify yourself there by typing:
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password
if success, then type:
/join #global
This should bring up another tab with message indicate you have joined #global. Hope this help.
Note:
I am not quite familiar with Mibbit. i just create an account for myself to test it.

Many of the issues are not yet resolved. The hard coding of the ops room is not, for instance. And although the method using the link above works for some players, for some it does not. gdnskye was able to access group ingame with the link fix above, but his irc account will not work (and yes, he is familiar with irc and has used it for over a month).
We are all patient, and know that you are doing your best to help - and thank you.
