Okay, I'm in. Suddenly realized that the problem apparently was that I'd been trying to access chat using my Netscape browser, instead of IE -- and that I'd found that when I originally joined, Netscape didn't work for some reason. It still doesn't, but not that my memory's been jogged I've switched to IE and all seems well...
Still one problem, don't see chatroom border to allow me to maximize screen as in the past. But I'll try troubleshooting that one within chat itself...
Thanks again for your patience -- and just out of curiosity, has anyone ever managed to get in using Netscape instead?...
Looking forward to tomorrow...
