How does one get into the chatroom? I type my nickname and I get to a grey page that says wait while we connect you, and then, and then,................nuthin'

Byron,

The latest version of Java does not get you into the chatroom, or at least it did not get me in. Tim gave me the advice to go back to the previous version and it works. In the meantime I had managed to get in via Wenslaus's server. I hope this helps.

As Tony just pointed out, I've come across this problem with the combination of Windows XP, the latest version of the Java Runtime Environment, and the chatroom website access. This is the thread on beautifullosers.org where we talked about it.

Jarkko - don't know if this is a known issue with jIRC, or whether there are any patches/fixes for it?

Did you write #cohenfans as your channel name, Tri-me? Stranger is almost always there, and most of the time there are a few people at least sleeping there, so I think you got in the wrong place.

Well, I never managed to get into the chat room either. I tried to, because I wonder what visitors to the chatroom talk about that isn't discussed already on the Forum.
