I go in and I'm automatically kicked out, my window closes. I go back in and it says "there's already another user with this name, enter another name", what's up with that thing?
You'll have to close the entire program. Closing a window or two won't do it. It's happened to me a couple of times, but starting a fresh browser always works.
Open the MAP homepage, log out, log back in and click chat, should be ok. Think the cookies are saying you still in becasuse the session has not been ended by a logout....logout fixes it! Works for me anyhooo
