OSO.......I have IE 6 w/W2000 Professional. Last night it took a while getting connection failures. Once I was on though, there were no issues.

When I hit the link for "Live Chat", it says "Welcome David" and some other stuff, with a link for "Enter Chat".
I get in as "David1". I don't know where the "1" is coming from as that is not me, I don't think. Then I can type with no problem. After about 30 seconds, I get a message on the screen:
--NickServ--You have 40 seconds to comply before your nickname is changed.
Then after 20 seconds:
--NickServ--You have 20 seconds to comply before your nickname is changed.
And of course after another 20 seconds, it says:
--NickServ--Your nickname is now being changed because "David1" is a registered nickname.
***David1 is now known as Guest83041 (or another random number)
The software has changed me from "David1" to "David2" and "David3" also.
So what am I supposed to comply to? This sux!
Oh Yeah-Win98SE/ Internet Explorer 5.5

Chat login ???

I run Windows XP with IE 6.0
Have used the chat befor and worked ok.
Now its ask me to comply (I guess login?) only I have no clue as to how or where this happens.

Then my name gets changed to Guest????.

I am sure Jeff did this so people can't steal anothers registered name in chat, but I think we need some help here Jeff?

I am kicking this back to the top because I still can't access the chat area.

This is the first screen:

IRC Chat
Welcome to IRC chat, Unregistered!
Welcome to the Off Shore Only Members Chat Room!

Please be courteous to others, patient and kind, not only in this chat but everywhere. Anyone who abuses this feature will be banned from using it! And on a lighter note: ENJOY!

ENTER CHAT

I click on ENTER CHAT and get this screen:

I do not see anywhere to log in or register for chat. I am showed as being loged on and can view and post in the discussion boards.
