There was some sort of blip and I was booted out of chat last week, when I went to reconnect I had the same error message as BAMAT, that the handle was already logged in. I had someone check the list of users in Chat and confirm it showed the handle even though I wasn't there, and let me know when it disappeared from the list, but it took awhile.

Can the timeout period be reduced? or is there way to boot "yourself" or reset the id in chat?
