Yep, the Chat Room /is/ accessible to anyone, which is why I wanted to keep the Java code away from public pages. The Xoom chat-room (the one that used to be the main one) was my personal favourite and seemed to be pretty secure. The Chat-Planet organisation (currently hosting the available chat room) has the dubious advantage that members from other chat-rooms are able to duck in on yours if there is someone in there. Perhaps fairly predictably, most of the other frequently visited chat pages concern Busty Brenda's house of Sin and other such niceties - though I'm not entirely sure whether 'heavenly body' would get off on Chat-Yaroze... The Xoom Chatroom, I believe, is not advertised publicly and not accessible publicly without the relevant bit of Java code. Did people have a problem with the Xoom one, but not the Earthweb one? If not, I'd like to bring that back and keep it away from public servers. James.
