had a problem with the text on the input box not getting sent when i hit return, but only on the connection to freenode, where i could not send to any channel or to console. the inputboxes for my simultanious connection to quakenet worked just fine. i have had this error happening several. Disconnecting freenode and reconnecting using the "connections" window, seemed to fix it after a couple of attemts, while quitting colloquy and restarting it gave me the same error on the same connection (freenode). I'm have set colloquy to connect automatically to quakenet and the freenode at startup.
