Sometimes I can’t log on at all despite several attempts and inputting my password slowly and deliberately. Amusingly once when I did a back arrow from that I got a message saying that I’d been banned

You and me Cally, it said I was banned for discussing inappropriate subjects. I didn't realise talking about Southampton Football Club was inappropriate and a banned subject .

Have you got in since Supersub?

New anonymous users have been banned from chat Cally_, so the site was probably looking for your forum login and couldn't find it because you either weren't logged in to the forum at the time, or the site wasn't reporting you as being logged in.

If you log in to the forum and then log straight in to chat you should be okay. If you spend a bit of time on the forum first and then try to log into chat, the forum may have timed out before you try to log in and that's when you get the behaivour you are describing.

So if you can't log in to chat but are being reported by the forum as logged in, then close the chat page, log out of the forum, log back into the forum, open chat again and wahey! I know it seems like a big old fuss, but we're trying to find the best overall working solution for the long term. That means the short term is going to have some annoying quirks until we work it all out.

Thanks, Keith. As I wasn’t discussing football, unlike some people that ought to do the trick.
