go to admit it kinda has me puzzled as well! Not sure why Dave is having problems,
the only other thing that I can think of is an issue over cookies/firewalling on his PC. The chatroom does deliver a cookie which holds your user ID buts thats all it does. If the cookie doesn\'t get through, when you get to the chat room proper, you might get canned straight away as the cookie needs to send you ID which each message.
Firewalls... well I\'m clutching at straws here, as apart from the cookie, nothing else needs to get at your browser.
