I guess some people are having problems getting into chat.
I will try to pass on what I know that has caused problems for others in the past. I designed the chat program, and as I am an amature with script writing in C++ I can only do so much. lol.
Okay, first of all, you HAVE TO be running plain old Internet Explorer. If youre running a mac, or FireFox browser, or any of those other trendy wonkey things, it wont work.
Second, you have to download the chat control. It comes in the form of an ActiveX control. It was origonally designed by microsoft so it will NOT harm your computer in any way. The chat control download and install is pretty much automatic, and a one time deal. Once its downloaded and installed, you should have no problems entering chat without any delay at all.
Here is a link to download the chat control:

The actual chat server runs on my desktop computer here at home, so if you are getting a message that just says "Please wait, connecting to server..." for a really long time, it probably means that Kris or I turned off the desktop computer and the server with it. lol.
Im working on a way for the "Chat Now" Button to change to "Chat Is Off" when the server is off. Im also working on a FireFox Browser plugin so that those with FireFox will be able to chat through their prefered browser. As far as those with a mac go...sorry. Dont know anything about a Mac, and probably never will. lol
Hope this helps some of you, and if you have any other questions, feel free to pm or email me.
Mike.
