Hi 🙂

I have a slightly annoying problem, that I cannot figure out.

On the gitter.im site, I am logged in via GitHub and all works fine. But when I open the chat/help window on the challenge page, I cannot participate in the chat.

There’s the button “Start chatting - sign in to start chatting” and I click it. Then I get a popup asking me to connect via GitHub, I do that, the popup vanishes aaaand… nothing. Still not logged in. Still the “start chatting” button. But as I said, I am logged in perfectly fine when I’m on gitter.im directly.

I’m on Ubuntu, using Chromium and have already tried disabling my browser plugins, restarting, etc. Anyone having an idea what could be the issue? Thank you!
