Waiting a couple seconds before hitting "connect" should prevent it from happening.

And we only figured out the fix by messaging one another in our chat group. A new player would have no idea because logging in as is (in Firefox), it looks like you're in a BB chat, but you're in a different room by yourself.

The problem is the irc channel name is "Broken_Bat Clubhouse", but some browsers will use that as is and Firefox wouldn't allow a space and replaces it with a %20. I'm think we probably shouldn't have setup a channel with a space...I think renaming is the only solution. Steve
