OK, so it sounds like the mibbit client is still too dumb, to detect (and tell me) the fact that it is blocked... Hmm... I didn't have this problem the previous time, I tried to participate in one of these #ABLEconf sessions... and, even that, does not explain why my session at webchat.freenode.net , is not able to see anything, that anyone else is saying. I did notice that it is displaying my CHANNEL ID as #@ABLEconf but I do not know where that "@" came from ... (not from me!) (at least, not intentionally!)
