ChatterboxTown.US is proud to be the default recommended XMPP service provider for JMP.CHAT

admin · pubsub.chatterboxtown.us / chatterboxtown-us-news-and-announcements · Tuesday, 24 August, 2021 - 03:30

ChatterboxTown.US thanks JMP.CHAT for using us as their default recommended service provider for those signing up for their service that do not already have an existing Jabber ID. JMP.CHAT is an excellent service that bridges the telephone and SMS/MMS network to your XMPP account. That means you can make (XMPP client dependent) and receive phone calls, and send and receive SMS/MMS text messages, to and from a real phone number. You can also receive voicemail and voicemail transcriptions. The admin of ChatterboxTown.US personally uses and recommends JMP.CHAT to extend/enhance the XMPP experience.

Biboumi IRC Gateway Added

admin · pubsub.chatterboxtown.us / chatterboxtown-us-news-and-announcements · Tuesday, 22 December, 2020 - 12:03

The Biboumi IRC Gateway has been added to our service. You can now use your XMPP account and client to connect to IRC channels. For example, if you want to join the IRC channel "#channelname" at IRC server "irc.server.com", in your XMPP client you would join MUC address "#channelname%irc.server.com@ircgw.chatterboxtown.us" See Biboumi End-user Documentation for more usage help. This feature has been added to ChatterboxTown.US for convenience. But please note the IRC gateway does not conform to the same privacy level as our main XMPP service, whether you’re using encryption or not. This is exactly as if you were running your IRC client on someone else’s server. Only use our Biboumi IRC Gateway if you don’t intend to have any private conversation.

Upload file size and file retention limits have been increased

admin · pubsub.chatterboxtown.us / chatterboxtown-us-news-and-announcements · Monday, 21 December, 2020 - 10:53

We have increased out maximum upload file size (for a single file) to 2GB with a total user quota of 4GB in 7 days. ChatterboxTown.US was started with the media creator in mind. With Covid-19 restrictions, pre-recorded productions for churches and other groups have increased, but in person exchanges have decreased. We wanted to make ChatterboxTown.US accommodate larger file sizes that normally cannot be exchanged via email and most other instant messaging services should one want to make a more direct file delivery to others, as opposed to using file upload services.

Our JSXC instance has been updated to version 4.2.0. There may still be some quirky display problems with the "menu" that I'll try to iron out but otherwise things appear functional. Again, if you run into any problems or might know solutions to issues please feel free to let me know.
