Is it me, or is it them?

When I try to connect to #planetunreal (or any other channel) through UT, it connects, scrolls down a bit then stops (just after MOTD line)...thats it. Whats going on?

Let me know please.

cheer.

I have the same problem sometimes..I thought it was the software I used to connect two computers thru the cable but it happened since then too...i always have a backup copy of my UT system files....I replaced it and it worked again...You are not alone on this one..Guess what..the easiest way is to reinstall...

Cheers Candy...I was kinda hoping I wouldn't have to re-instal. Oh well, I'll do it tomorrow and see if that fixes it.

It's probably your name. Some character are not allowed in IRC names and if you use them you can't get in.

When I was NutBar(<|<SOB>|> ) I couldn't get in. As NutBar-SOB I can. I'm not sure what the offending character is though.
