    Wrap your code in code tags and post the exact error message you get.

    Please, please, please use code tags.

    The try/catch clause in class UserThread exists outside a method. Whaddya thinkin'?

    Edward,
    Your program has so many syntax errors.
    First of all you did not wrap your thread code in the run() method? I don't see run().
    Secondly you cannot catch InterruptedException when it is not thrown. Instead you may have to catch IOException.
    Can you please fix that and let us know if the problem still persists.
    Lastly, as a guideline it is always better to indent the code so that we know easily where a block starts and ends.

    Thanks,
    Syed.
