It pings the server and allows me to try to connect but then it gives: Failed to connect to the server Outdated client! Please use 14w25b Isn't 14w25b a snapshot of 1.8?
I've been connecting for past week (since my return to EMC) with 1.7.2 but tonight just started with the issues.. I have been able to get back in using 1.7.2 again so I hope issue is resolved whatever it was.
