I wish I could offer a solution to that, but I can't - it worked fine on the old server (unfortunately, by the end of its working life nothing else did!) but now it's always #153.
It's a PITA, but believe me - it's better than having discrete guest numbers, but every response defaulting to xnone ;|

Until the Prof finds a fix (and he is looking for one, I can assure you,) you're just gonna have to live with, and do your best to work around it, I'm afraid

I thought so =/
Anyway I'm getting better at this =P
mapwii.com ftw lol
plz chat with my bot?

PITA?

Hey when i try to chat with anotha person nothing pops up on my screen, wats goin on?

Do you have pop-ups enabled?

PITA, Clerk, is a pain in the assets. Servers can be such a drain on one's wallet.

Thanks, Bev

Its a wii's opera browser idk

Well, you need to have pop-ups allowed in order for chat boxes to pop up. I've tried Netscape, IE, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Opera, and the one that works most consistently for me is Firefox; the worst (again, for me) is Opera.

lol that sucks =/

You are using a Wii here and not a PC? Please do explain. Surely if Wii surfs the net, Wii has popups and IMs?

Wii's browser (a variant of Opera--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Browser) blocks all pop-ups. From what research I've done, it doesn't seem like you can turn pop-ups back on.

Since Wii's are tethered appliances (as far as I understand), you won't be able to use popup-driven chat (or anything requiring popups) on the Wii unless Sony or its partners enable it.
