Well, yes, I was one of those who had difficulty on Sunday and have now downloaded and installed Cheetah (probably in violation of no end of company rules) and await Sunday with trepidation (it's necessary for my sanity to believe that there are no other chat rooms worth trying in the meantime).  But it was nice in the past just to click on the word Chat and instantly be transported without fuss to the chat room.  To me the point is what the words are, not what colour they are.  So is it the intention to reset the url or whatever on the main page so that whatever we do we all end up in the same place?

Just a techie point that caught me out on post combination:  if you do the cut-and-paste thing in MS Word rather than Notepad, the smart quotes may come out as something diabolical like #8517 by the time they become plaintext.  You can disable them in Word.

I think the combination thing is a bit overblown - we have three types of people: newbies who have lots of things stacked up that they want to say and will do it their own way whatever; oldies who are now so punch drunk that we can only think of about one thing in a day; and Amy, Rita, and Tabouli, who know how to combine posts anyway.
