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!)

Thanks,

As far as I know, freenode has blocked the mibbit client, or at least that was the case in June.

MikeSchwartz should work fine as a nickname, I'd suggest trying to avoid underscores and other non-alphanumeric characters. And either "ableconf" or "#ableconf" should work for the webchat.freenode.net client.

some examples:

in my window (well, tab) using "http://www.mibbit.com/chat/" I sent this: 

20:15 Mike_Schwartz Hello... is anyone there, on #ABLEconf ?
and 
in my window (well, tab) using "http://webchat.freenode.net/" I sent this: 
[20:11] <@Mike_Schwartz_00> Hello!  anyone there?
and 
neither one of them, seemed to show up, in the other window (er, umm, tab) -- ! 

any comments / advice?
Thanks,

I "also" logged on the same channel, at 
    http://webchat.freenode.net/
(since it is recommended), 
with using a slightly different nic 
("Mike_Schwartz_002", but the "2" got cut off...) 

and stuff that I said in ONE window, is NOT showing up in the other! 

NO WONDER it seems I cannot "hear" what anyone else is saying...
write-only memory!

any suggestions / advice appreciated...

#ableconf suggests this client as well, it's DHTML and I just checked it out... better use of screen space IMO

Could someone please tell me (or, remind me) 
how to do this just using a web browser? 

The computer I am sitting at, has (Afaik) no 
proper "IRC" client -- but it does have firefox 
and (what I am using now) Google "Chrome". 

I think it worked last time, I have just forgotten 
what the secret was.

Thanks,
