I gather people have been having issues with getting in tonight. I can only presume this is a problem at mibbits end because I haven't changed any settings or owt.
The only other way to get into the room is via the Java Chat at http://betfairforum.weebly.com/ although for that you will need Java software, software largley used for internet games and perfectly safe. Sorry I can't be much helpful. |
