I tried chatting at 17:39 PST, Sunday, November 9, and while I could load the page and see the others' activity, I couldn't respond. When I tried, I got:

The following error occurred:
You do not have permission to post messages

A possible problem: which time zone. My time of failure is Monday relative to UTC, so that may make a difference. I'm succeeding now, and it's still Sunday in UTC.

I was kicked off again, this time at 17:29 PST, or 0:29 UTC Monday. So its "Sunday" seems to be UTC Sunday. I should try late Saturday PST next time.

Sorry froggy, hopefully Greg will fix the time problem.
