Just upgraded all Mibbit backends to the latest. This should mean less restarts/uptime issues going forward. It looks like there is a bug in the JVM 1.6.

Couple of updates to the main client:

• 2 new preset skins (See above)
• You can now use $? in aliases/custom menus to prompt you for something. For example, you could prompt for your password, or a kick reason. It steals focus and then gives it back, so no need to use the mouse.
