Tell which rooms you are able to join?

Are you using iChat? If so, that's why.

iChat sucks.

Adium is working splendidly however. I can join any chat room.. just checked.

I'm pretty sick of all these lame iApps, bah.

what's all this UnsupportedSN# that I see when I join chat rooms with Adium? I'm guessing they're .mac names. Anyone way to get it to show?

ok…
it looks like problems are due to the fact that AOL may have block edthe Oscar chat system which is used by both iChat & AIM SM.

Why is it called Oscar? Does that stand for something or is it just a random name?
