That IP is non-routable. I.e. it won't work outside your own network. No-one here could connect to it.

I don't think so - I shut it down 10mins ago! You run host, I'll try and connect to you. Post your IP here when it's running as a server your end Kentaree.

You could improve the input system, it's very hit and miss. You cant type blindly, 'cos sometimes you type something and it doesnt process.

umm, i have that problem my self with the log on, however in the chat "room" itself it doesnt tend to be a problem.
Do you get the problem all over?

Plus for the logon I was thinking mouse interface, and then one for the chat room as well, so you could have private convos with other members in seperate windows.

As for wordwrap, Yeh Ill do that definatly, cant now obversaly cause im at college, but yeh when i get home ill add that.
