So far I can't get into the chats, I get as far as the java chat window loading but then it says can't connect you may be behind a firewall etc.
My firewall is new to me and I don't know how to check it's relavent status or safely change it. Anyone know Norton firewall settings? If it's something else instead I haven't even that much clue.

Thanks in advance~D

ps-how do I turn off flashing avatars and flashing emocions?
