WTF? Chatzilla Keeps Telling Me I'm Banned! →[More:]How do I overcome this rank abuse of power? Doesn't seem to matter what nick I use either. Same old thing.

Help a bunny out?

LT: prefs/global settings and type anything into the description. Then try again.

LT, answers might be found here.

Hopefully, it's the same problem.

We're looking for you in there.

(If I got it completely wrong, someone PLEASE correct me.)

LT, maybe you could try using the java client for now?

Okay, here we go again.

1. In Firefox, open Chatzilla: Tools > Chatzilla.

2. In Chatzilla, open your preferences: Tools > Options.

3. Select Global Settings from the list on the left. Under the General tab, find the Identification field. Change the text in the Description field to a clever couple of words of your choosing.

4. Problem solved.
