Sorry you're having problems. At the top of the Message board is a "Chat" button. All you have to do is hit it and change the name at the top of the page that comes up to your nickname and then hit connect.

There was an error in the link a couple of days ago but Chad got that fixed. If you are an AOL user you must first register your nick by following the instructions on this page. http://www.starchat.net/aol/index.htm Sorry for the inconvience but it's their rules not ours :-)

There should be a blue box labeled "Nick Name" with "Guest" in it. Just erase "Guest" and put in "Black Opal". It will only take 6 or 8 letters but you can change that once you are in the chat room. Once you are in the room just type the following line.. /nick Black_Opal

I'll be on AIM if you need help tonight.. mfdolphin56 Good Luck!

that pop-up is for the Java Chat client that you have to have. The other option is to use any good IRC client like PIRCH or mIRC to get there.
