content: Sounds like someone has been hacking from your IP. If you have a dynamic IP then this is quite common.Disconnecting the power to your adsl router for a few minutes will force it to reconnect and get a different IP which might work better.Or you could create and use a authserv account as it says, then it should let you connect

content: I'm not seeing any window for entering text (and nobody else seems to be chatting either). Is that the way it's supposed to be?

content: Quote from: PetrosA on March 15, 2011, 01:04:32 pmOn the webchat the input box is at the bottom -- here, I see it kinda disappears into the page background because they're both white and there's no border apart from a grey line above it. As for nobody chatting, it's a little quiet at the moment but I'll say hi if I happen to be watching next time you pop in

content: i guess everybody is doing their own business, unless maybe a big meteor drop somewhere. i use mirc.ps: but i think its good to stay connected, if i have something up, i can get/give the info realtime from anybody online.

content: G'day Guys,I used to use MIRC for years until I built this 64 bit puter then mirc wouldn't work properly, so I ended up switching to IceChat which is freeware and in my opinion MUCH better than mirc. I've been on the irc channel now for about 2 weeks and never seen Dave in there which is a shame as it would be great to have chat over a few doz beers.Cheers Bryan
