Ok, weirdness of the day... I tried coming here with IE instead of Firefox... and it worked. I can use the shoutbox again. Now if only I didn't hate IE...
"I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything"
It must be a spook on this site, downloading randomly to innocent users' computers and not allowing to use the shoutbox . Admit it mahon, you installed the phpBB WebSite Spook V0.99 on this site
Another thing would be to put a direct link to the chat room into the box on the left side. It'd probably be more popular.
In Firefox 1.5 you have a tool included to remove privacy data. I used that to remove cookies, and now it works again... If only I knew what went wrong...
