Okay---I clicked on live chat, and get a page, and in the middle of the page is a small bar  or  "bubble" with the words Connecting to server" .   It doesn't do anything and I can't click on those words?   On the top of the page, it gives ,my user name and I can't click on it either.    Am I having computer problesm?  I can post just fine on the message boards.  Help.

I can't get into chats either.  It's saying that I have to download Macromedia Flash Player on my laptop, and then on my desktop it does that same thing it is doing to you.  I'm not too worried about it though, since I can post just fine in the forums.

I would like to jump into this since I had the same problem.  Heres what I found out so far:

The flash player that seems to be the culprit is version 9.0.124.0.  I have downgraded my flash player to a previous version 9.0.115.0 and am now able to get into chat no problem.

A way to find out your version of flash would be to goto:

http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/

Once there youll see a About tab in the Adobe flash player section.  If you click it, it tells you what version of flash your running.

Hope this helps.
