Larry, sometimes when you get disconnected, it will say that your nick is in use (for you your chatnick is Larry157; it's your screenname) when you try to go back in the chat room. Try again; it will probably let you in since it's been at least a couple minutes; it just takes a few minutes to work sometimes. Also, if you haven't seen the link in my signature, please check it out. It's helpful to know when using the chat room.
