Automatically disconnects on connection
 
The connection is lost when I try to connect to Arctic mud. It shows the Arctic banner and says What is your character's name? and then it disconnects. I have added my characters name and password into the connection GUI so why is this happening?

There are three possibilities that I can think of:
1. You don't have autolog triggers or they aren't responding, so the MUD disconnects you for not answering the question in a reasonable amount of time. This could be caused by having triggers disabled, by having the triggers in a disabled class, by having a non-matching trigger phrase, or by not having a correct trigger value.

2. You are using an atconnect alias which sends something to the MUD which causes the disconnect.

3. Everything is working fine, but your character has been banned by the MUD, so it disconnects you as soon as you provide the name.

To check which it is, open the character offline. Check your aliases and disable any aliases named atconnect. If there was an "atconnect" alias and its Value field wasn't blank, try to connect.

Next, disable triggers (click the gun icon near the command line). Try to connect, and answer the questions yourself. If you get disconnected when you supply the name, you can pretty much figure you've been banned. If you are succesful, you'll know it's the triggers that need fixing.

The triggers should be in a class named Autolog. They should match the logon questions exactly, including any spaces at the end. The "name" trigger should have the command #CH and the "password" trigger should have the commands #PW;#T- Autolog.
