I was previously having issues joining the chat. But Mrdudecool figured out
why. If you're having trouble joining the chat check your user name, does it
have excessive capital letters? punctuation? ect. If that's the reason you
cannot access the chat I'm sure an admin would be happy to change your
name for you.

Thanks.



p.s. This is the previous Rannie. and missRANNIE (it took two name changes
to figure this solution out).

This should explain why other users can't get in.
Princess_Stitch probably because of the _? Seems a little strange to have to change your full username just for the chat though.
Maybe there is another solution to this which allows users to change their nicknames before they log onto the chat?

If you want to change your name once you're in the chat, just type "/nick [new name]".

Yes, that's probably the case with Princess_Stitch. As far as I know, I don't
think there's a way to change the nicknames in the chat. Atleast not without
entering the chat first.

You do not have to change your entire username, you can have the obstacle
remove.

Underscores should be fine in chat clients. However, stranger occurrences, such as capitalization of characters (in some cases... this might only apply to excessive use for this chat client), periods, asterisks, and some other special characters may generate a "Bad Username" error.

Yes, that's what I got.
