Yup, but that's not what's keeping you from getting in.

The IRC (chat) server doesn't like the capitals in your name. The server operators (with whom ANN is not affiliated) have decided that people with a lot of uppercase letters in their name are probably not the kind of people they want on their IRC network.

To be honest, 9 times out of 10, they're probably right.

But they gave no thought to the issue of people connecting from ANN that can't simply go into config and change the name they log in with (and nor should they have considered this issue, what goes on at ANN isnt their problem).

If you want I'll change your forum name to lower case.

Do try to do something about your "grammar" most of it looks like typos rather than grammar, there's no reason you can't read & fix what you write before you hit the submit button.

Noted. I've made sure no one bothers you about spelling and grammar again.

I appreciate you trying your best.

When we update it, maybe.

But I have no idea when we're next going to do updates to the forum. It's a mosnter to work on with so many modifications as it is.

It's a goo idea though.

Hey its something to add to the list of neat things to do after you figure out how to update it *L*

its something I cant quite keep track of posts and threads when I get 6 or 7 notifies and they are pretty blank on what post to what thread 0-o but that means I'll have to limit how many threads I rant in *L*
I am real bad about rambling and not proof reading my spots before posting >< I donut mind comments on gramme hell sometimes I wonder WTF did I type *L* so google tool bar as a spell checker I need to check it out,I love thunderbirds realtime checker.

Altho the checker has a down side it can spell google and a few other net friendly words 0-o
