| What browser is everyone using? I just checked their FAQ and apparently it only works in Internet Explorer; the 'click to talk' button that is. |

| Is there a place where you can download Internet Explorer for free? I'm on a Mac- ergo, Safari or Firefox. Directly from the computer might be easier for calling in. ^_^ |

I just tested this, and still didn't see it. So I have no idea what's going on with it.
If you're overseas and concerned about the long distance billing, check out Skype. I'm not entirely sure how it would work, but you could register a number using skype with a US (347) area code, which should allow you to call in for free. |

| I use Firefox on both my Mac and laptop. I would have to use the laptop if I found my headset to do it through the computer, I think, because I don't think there's a place to plug in my headset on my Mac. I'm hoping that I'll be able to use the computer rather than calling in on the land line, but the land line seems to be working better for everyone I think. |

I used Firefox and Internet Explorer to listen, and I didn't see a button.
Also, I'm pretty sure you have to buy credit on Skype to call a landline. Calls to the US and Canada were free for a year when it was first released, but I think you have to pay now. It's still cheaper than most long-distance calls (only a few cents a minute) but it's a pain to load up and you have to use some of your balance every six months in order to keep it active. |
