I was in chat earlier but got booted. The screen message was 'lost connection'. I tried to get back in but got message that name Sparkle was in use. Went to ipad and signed in as worldlygoods and sure enough it showed Sparkle was there. Then I lost connection with iPad. Got back in immediately and now Sparkle was gone so I went back to computer and tried to log in. Now all I can get is the message 'Duplicate sign-ins from this IP are not permitted.'
p.s. this may be impossible because now it does not show sparkle on the list of names but I am still getting duplicate sign-ins message.

Grrrr. I'm still getting the message about duplicates not allowed this IP address. I rebooted my computer just in case but that obviously didn't help.

So you got back in as wordlygoods, but it won't let you change your name to sparkle? Is that what's going on? I don't quite understand it. I sure hope Celeste does.

I can get in via iPad because it sees me as worldlygoods. The iPad is so difficult with typing and has no extra features like clock, sound, color. About all it's good for is reading. I need to get in via computer so that I can participate. I was there earlier today and things went wonky as described above.

I'M IN! Fingers crossed. I have a feeling it's going to be okay now. Thanks to Celeste and eagle for fiddling with it.

I came in at the end and was confused as to why you couldn't rename yourself. But now I guess I understand (because of the two different devices.)
I've never used chat with my cell phone (don't think it's possible from my particular phone), but I have used it for the forums, and I can certainly empathize with the difficult of use issue that you describe for your iPad. It's good for reading, but not for posting (my cell phone).
BTW, I thought of you while getting some sparkly photos for my granddaughter. Here's one that I posted for her:

I hope the sparkles aren't too 'busy' for you.

eagle, thanks for posting the Beautiful horses and extra thanks for remembering what bouncy manic things do to my brain. Dear Celeste, I am here again to report that it's happening again today. It all fell apart about an hour ago. in chat for several hours got booted tried to get back in error message - name sparkle in use went to ipad to tell what was happening saw sparkle sign out back to computer to try again error message - duplicate sign-ins not allowed rebooted computer still same message I do hope you will report this since it doesn't seem to be a one time event. It may be my karma but can't think of what I've done to deserve this.

Okay, you are re-kicked.
Re-booting won't change anything because the problem is on the chat server side. Unfortunately, it will keep happening because we had to change settings to tighten security after a recent problem. Give AddonChat a few minutes to realize you are no longer there, then login again. Whether or not you get in depends on whether AddonChat has discovered you are no longer connected. It may or it may not.
I'm sorry I can't really do anything to correct it.

Okay. I guess no more chat for me. I just tried again and am still getting the message: duplicate sign-ins from this IP are not allowed.
No worries, Celeste. Thanks for trying. This will be good for me in the long run.

I promise this will be the last time I will post about this.  I am back in so the trick seems to be patience and wait a couple of hours for addonchat to figure out that I am no longer there. It's odd that it doesn't happen every time I get booted because I am still booted regularly but the fact that I can eventually get back in is the important thing. From now on I will only try once and if I see the message I will let it be for a couple of hours.
