It's hard for me to believe that this isn't a server issue with so many guys being affected and it all started this week.

I've switched over IceChat (an IRC client) and actually like it better. So this was a blessing in disguise. Would still be nice to have the applet working.

what settings are you using on Ice? I have the client but cant seem to find the room

The server is irc.us.dal.net (you have to add it) and then add the channel #jackinchat and/or #pornjackin. Every time you start, you have connect to the server and then join the channel. I hope that helps.

Same issues today for first time with my login - used same nickname for a long time now, but a (+b) error trying to log on...

have tried two machines so I don't think it is me. error I get is ClassNotFoundException in all cases. any ideas I deleted and reinstalled java and then moved to another computer and got the same thing. I live in Illinois
