• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Since I can't get it to work on anything I've tried (and only saw one result/question of the exact same issue I have) on the multiple google searches I've done)...
Has anyone tried a windows discord client like 'discord sandboxed' or 'fosscord' ?? (I do not consider the 'official' client as even being an option)

On a desktop I just point my browser to discord.com

Usually I just go to a specific server/room from browser history
(or if Discord is having issues, the main site like you.)

I've found that Discord is very temperamental as to what browser it will/won't work in.
... and they frequently make changes which can cause it to quit working - either with a meaningless error, or a blank page - then its time to try another browser & see if it works there. (and just keep trying, sometimes after a week or so it'll start working again)

Here's another "empirical user experience": using the Discord app on MacOSX using Safari, or on an iPhone, I never experienced an issue with Discord that I could pin on the platform. Once in a while I have connection issues, but those clear up on their own in a short time.

Suddenly feeling very fortunate....

I'd like to get an invite to the Discord as well. May I put a suggestion for a pinned message at the top of the thread for users to know how to gain access? The links in the original posts redirect to the main site page. You can make a ticket system for manual user review and authentication.
 
Hello! I would also love an invitation to the Discord if they are still being sent out. If this is now the wrong place to request access feel free to point me true.
 
I'm a Discord Admin/Mod if you are looking for someone to help run/moderate the server
Also would like the link, as well
