Aidey, sadly the bug with 'special' characters in usernames still exists - we are trying to persuade the developer of the chat software to fix this though. (why the hell they can't test properly for these kinds of rudimentary issues, I don't know!)
Platinum, great news that you're now able to access chat! Other than the five pints (!), what else if anything did you do differently?
Dan, did you find that you *needed* to open up that port on your (firewall? router?) before you were able to access chat, or was it something you just did as a precautionary measure?
Phil, I think you might need to look at a re-install of OS X on your Mac. I know that's a complete mission but when I did that remote desktop session with you, Flash was very unstable then. Bearing in mind the number of Mac users who are able to access chat successfully, I suspect that your Flash crashes and your inability to access chat are very likely related. I did try a complete Flash reinstall for you, but that didn't fix it.
Thanks everyone - at least if looks as *most* of you are now in fact able to get in to chat! :)
