Can you give more details? What does chat look like exactly? (Copy and paste).

What redirect plugin are you using? (link)

That screenshot doesn't seem to contain any chatting (plus the left side is cut off).

What would help would be to cut and paste the text (not a screenshot) of something that you want to appear in the chat window, so we can advise you.

For example:


Mary tells you "hello".

You might find this one better: http://mushclient.com/forum/?id=10728&reply=5#reply5

That uses a miniwindow and is a bit easier to use. You still need to adjust how it matches on chat messages though.
