Ironically I erased everything on my old mac figuring I never had to look back. Can I somehow wipe clean any connection tracing me back to my old mac and redownload as a new computer without compromising anything?WrongLane, I had the same problem when I transferred my files from my old Mac. For some reason, Shoddy and or Java is pointed back to your old "home" folder from the previous account, which I presume had a different name. Solution: in the Users folder, create a new folder that exactly matches the home folder of your user account on your previous Mac. That should do it. If not, try copying the hidden folder ".shoddybattle" to the newly created folder. Good luck.
Then there's a little "yes" button and a little "no" button there. I can't provide a screenshot as to what this looks like, but this is pissing me off. The million dollar question I have about this is "what should I do about this?"An error occured while reading a message from the server: Connection reset
Disconnect from the server? (Try again at least once.)
I have this problem true, and it's more than a little depressing. I don't think this is were we should post complaints though, but just in case here is a picture of a problem, perhaps unrelated.So here's my problem. I can log onto a server (and I only go on either the C.A.P. server or the regular Smogon server) and view the main chat as well as go in and watch battles (some of the time). Unfortunately, when I try to go onto a ladder to battle, I have to wait about five minutes... only to get a little window that says this:
An error occured while reading a message from the server: Connection reset

You should check your computer for a virus or something, because Java can't freeze you computer.Ok, so, when I had vista (uptil two days ago) I ran shoddy without a problem, now with Windows 7 my computer will freeze randomly when shoddybattle is running
I ran scans before I updated, could it be a compatibility issue?You should check your computer for a virus or something, because Java can't freeze you computer.
You must create another account there.on smogon,i use my username and password and im logged in.but,on shoddy i use the right username and password,but it says my account doesn't exist.can someone tell me how to fix this?
EDIT: With the following; "javaws http://shoddybattle.com/client/shoddybattle.php" and "Help! I have a mac/use OS X and when I start a battle the battle window stretches and I can't see my moves! What should I do!?!" you need to re-install Shoddy after you have made these changes for them to take effect. I think that this should be added to this topic.
Thanks.
Same problem :(I had the screen stretch problem so I went to update my Java so that it would be fixed and I cleared my cache. But in the java preferences only J2SE 1.4.2 and J2SE 5.0 showed under java applications. So I only have the options to either have a stretched screen and be unable to choose moves and battle, or have the starting error message. Is there anything I can do?
