I tried to log onto the chat area and it said my Username was not allowed. I have used this name for a long time so wander what is wrong. Is there anything I can do to get it to accept it?

not sure why yours won't work, mine worked fine. i suggest you go to the contact section of the Main Forum Rules and contact tech support.

I'm havint trouble getting on chat tonight, too! Nothing about user name...just says it can't find chat!

I just went there & it is definitely acting strange. I started typing in a comment & it went to a page saying web page not found. wierd

I just went there. It is working alright for me.
