Just an update. I was able to get on last night after switching from hotel internet to my mobile hotspot. I didn't think that it was the hotel internet as I could watch Netflix using it. I know some hotels limit chat/movies for bandwith issues, so I switched to my mobile hotspot and chat worked.

Thanks DocJohn and PC support peeps for making this website run and keeping it updated. It is an invaluable support for me.
