I just tried going there and the top of your IE should be a yellowish bar to click on to download the activex controller but of coarse my windows vista is not wanting to cooperate w/ me and is blocking me out, go figure.

i login every now and then, but no one is ever on. MOF, i am in the MAIN channel right now.

FYI, it's not activeX it's JAVA based. you need to make sure you have java installed and working:

Download Free Java Software - Sun Microsystems

Works for me on my Apple Powerbook. You should momentarily see a "coffee cup" logo flash and then it go into the chat screen. That's if you have the proper Java stuff running on your computer.....

I went back into it and successfully logged in by naming myself, it logged me in.

those of you guys having problems need to click the "do i have java" link at the site in my previous post. this will check and tell you what platform you are currently running.

the white x means either you don't have java or the version you are running is too old. ie and firefox both work well with the chat.
