For those of you having any problems i will add a little guide and explanation on how to get the interface to work.
But for the meantime you must have Java installed on your computer for the application to work properly. Most new computers do not come with Java as it is no longer embeded into the Windows Operating system. Fear not though as you can download free it at http://www.java.com if you would like to go straight to the download page Click Here
To instal click on the begin download and follow the instructions ( I will provide better instructions on the site shortly)

EDIT I HAVE CHANGED THE APPLET SO YOU DONT NEED TO DOWNLOAD JAVA ANYMORE
I have now changed the applet that does the live chat and it works a lot better than the other one i was using.
All you need to do now is click on live chat and click on the CGI:IRC picture and away you go. If it for some reason doesn't work just try it again and it should connect up. If it still doesn't work please feel free to either post a message saying whats happening or drop me an email at alan@wagerpromotions.co.uk
Sometimes there may be connection errors due to things such as net splits where servers sometimes loose conections to other servers. This can sometimes happen now and again but Quakenet (the server we use) is pretty well maintained.
Another thing to bear in mind is if you try and connect with a nickname say ^Kaje^ you wont get connected as thats my Nick Name and you will need to change another nick name.
