Is there a way to open a chat applet so that I can login without having to go through the website? Like an alternate logging in procedure? I wish they had a IRC channel... But they love Java.. which I do to... However logins are long & drawn out..



Well, it depends, but in general, I don't think so.

If you're being logged in, then the server is probably recording some parameters from your session (like IP address and port numbers) and marking your session as "OK". A good web app should not just accept random connections from anyone, that's a good way to get your server hacked (their server, not you).

You might ask the webmaster. There also might be a way to autologin, but a good authentication object will detect an attempt to "replay" a previous session (what you'd get if you just saved a web page state) and flag that as an attempt to hack, and block it.

If there is a way to "save" a web app, sorry I don't know it. It sounds reasonable, but might be technically difficult.
