Help, I can't access the forums / chatrooms !
There is a known issue with Joomla! (the web site portal software) and multiple domain names - 'specially when you start "tacking on" extras such as chat rooms and forums etc.
 The issue normally arises when someone enters the site via http://polyoz.org or http://www.polyoz.org - login to the site is achieved fine by some recent code changes but the issue arises when going to chat rooms or the forums that require the users login details to be passed to the relevant database for either the forum or chat room as these "add on's" only allow one domain name to be specified as the web address.
As these have been in place since the site's inception, they are "hard coded" as http://polyoz.dhs.org - so the actual correct address for the chat rooms would be http://polyoz.dhs.org/chat and the forums http://polyoz.dhs.org/phpbb2 .
Although it is not an ideal situation - basically our hands are tied in the matter, until someone can rewrite the code for the forums and the chat to accept multiple domain names - so the safest bet at the moment for accessing all web site features is the enter the site via http://polyoz.dhs.org
Hope that comes across in plain English without having to go into more tech - geek speak 
If after following the above advice you are still encountering issues accessing the site please contact the webmaster to have the issue investigated in more detail.
