Beeblebrox.420 Reviewed by Beeblebrox.420 on . Problem with the chat and java I wasn't able to log into the chat here till I had java (so it tells me). so I downloaded it and now 4/5 of the time I just get a big flashy java logo without it connecting to the chat, approx. 1/5 of the time it actually connects :confused: . any idea why that's happening?
