Re: Party skins with new update of Zonealarm - Anyone else?
[ QUOTE ]
The only noticable effect is that I can no longer chat. I see others chat, but mine is blocked. Strange?

I've seen it too. If you don't tell ZoneAlarm to give the Party-skin client the privileges it asks for you cannot chat. The text you type appears in the chat entry window, but when you hit <return> it is not displayed in the dealer window. Experiments have shown that no other player can see your chat either and it isn't in the HH.
If you grant permission everything is fine. You must restart the client process for it to take effect.
You can permanently configure this so you don't get bothered each time you start up a Party skin. Open the ZoneAlarm window and go to <Program Control><Programs> and find the <SkinName> Poker Client Application. Set "Trust Level" to three green bars to let Party run wild on your computer but have no problems. Set it to one green bar to retain control over your machine but not be able to chat.
Anyway that's my experience under Windows XP.
