After trying three different methods of accessing the Iann RadioChatroom, I have had the same results in each case. In all of them, when I try to connect, either to log in, or to change my avatar and name, I have 'connection problems'. So the problem is in Iann's arena--it's not allowing people without direct access to the chatroom to have active access to it. I can monitor the chat with no problem in 3 different ways--DoctorTim.de, radiomarlininternational.com, and hfunderground.com. Until the problem is resolved by Iaan, I am stuck in monitoring, not participating. Just hope the problem is resolved soon, or the function of Pirate RAdio Chat is transferred to a new host.
