Java
Hi Dan,
This has only started happening recently, as on my past infrequent visits to FT Chat, I've had no problems getting to the chatbox.
The Java I'm running came with the Netscape 7.1 that I downloaded about eight or ten months ago, so while it may not be the MOST current version, it's pretty recent. We've had no problems with the Java application, using it for games, etc. on the pc (gotta practice my blackjack when I can't get to the casino!!) , and it seems to be working well.
I'm still guessing that it has something to do with your servers doing some maintenance that they automatically do in the late night, that may be the problem, but you'd know better then me.
