Yes, Mark, last week (after FT switched servers or whatever it did), I couldn't get into FT through my fire wall and tried to go in through the "backdoor"--both the one you set up and just using the IP address and it did not recognize that approach as valid.
As Dan suggested, it just took some time for the new informtion to travel throughout the entire system. By Monday morning, we had no problem getting in through the firewall.
Randy, I agree that chatters sometimes get out of hand, but for the most part it is just fun. Out of curiosity, can you log "private" chat conversations? If so, I think that should be made perfectly clear as I often have private, "really private" discussions with close friends where I disclose information that is simply not meant for anyone else.
