That happens sometimes. Slow connection. Took me a while too. But you have to wait one or two minutes. Or just refresh the page.

or you could download MIRC or Klient and go straight to the chat channel

Server: irc.webchat.org
Channel: #techimo

Always an option

What browser?
IE?
What version?
Works in Opera, and I've seen it work in IE.

btw, you're not in XP are you?
If so may need to download the java VM

I can't get the thing to work in IRC so I just use the chat feature here at T-IMO.

Usually when I go in, a box pops up asking me if I want to grant the session. I say yes and I'm in.
