Chat room problems?

[NOT A TA]

People have trouble getting into chat or can't get into chat at all. People in chat may see a screen name come up in the chat window and see the same person try repeatedly before giving up. Others don't show up in the chat window at all even when trying over and over to enter chat. This been an ongoing issue since the forum was updated and got worse with the recent chat update a week or so ago. I can't get in on IE at all anymore, Mozilla and Chrome works for me.

Depending on type of computer and what browser is used some people can/can't use links. Posting links requires different methods for many. A few seem to be able to copy/past while others have to use Ctrl V , or drag, and some can't post links at all.

Some people get booted if they try to click a link someone else posted.



Some people get booted if they don't post in the chat box within a certain time period.

Sometimes the chat window becomes very slow.
