So I tried to get into chat but when it pulls up the chat box it goes white and says "error click for details" and so I clicked it and this is what it said:

I believe the most recent version of java does cause problems with the web browser version of the IRC. Perhaps you could download something like Icechat or yaaic (the two programs I use and can personally recommend) or some other IRC client. They generally aren't hard to set up.

So i have Icechat. Now what do I do with it?

This may help untill we can get that solved.

Ok, thanks.

If anybody else is having this issue, I just put up a tutorial for how to fix it if you do not want to go about configuring a dedicated client.  But IMO a dedicated IRC client is the way to go
