So summer is here and it's hot as blazes! Don't let no one tell you that there isn't global warmining because each of you that read his can think of when you were children and know it wasn't this hot in the summer. What do I recommend? Stay inside with some cool AC and a beer, favorite mixed drink, or hell even the coldest of soft drinks and get down chatting at Chatropolis.

While it is as hot as Dante's Inferno around here, might as well watch some World Cup! Congrats to Mexico and Iceland for getting stuff done against higher ranked competition. Watching England struggle with Tunisia right now and with Tunisia on their backup goalie and how stupidly Tunisia keeps making penalties, it's just a matter of time before England tacks on 2-3 goals. UPDATE: England wins on a very late goal. Tunisia could have pulled off the tie but wasn't paying attention to all players on a corner kick. Blames the defenders more than the goalie on that one.

I hope all fathers and dads had a really good Father's Day!

I bet a lot of you have gotten this particular error. This is a simple error with a simple fix. Your chatting in any room is started by a chat session that is created and a session cookie is created for this chat session. However, some times when disconnected abruptly, or upon leaving and reentering too quickly (before the chat session has a chance to end), or just a chat session that gets hung up. The easiest fix for this is merely deleting your cookies. Deleting that chat session cookie will force the server to request the browser to create and store another cookie for that new session. I get this at the Help Desk quite a bit and you all really do need to know what's up with that so you can quickly get back to chatting again.

Did you know as a member you can reserve URLs the same way you can your screen name? Yes you can. You can reserve up to 5 URLs at any one time. Why would I add this feature? Well we all know of impers that snag your favorite avatar URL and make them their own as they impersonate you. Well that comes to an end. You reserve your favorite URLs and that can't happen. I figure 5 URLs for starters "should" be enough as the life cycle of avatars tend to be short before "on to the next one" but I'll consider upping that limit to accommodate if necessary.
