PS - I cleared cache etc multiple times.
What's the problem?
Ok, as long as I'm complaining. WHY if I'm on chat can I not access FT at the same time? If I do, I get knocked off. The only other way to access FT at the same time is to go in via IE in a dif browser. The irony btw is not lost on me that I can access FT via IE but not Chat. Cheers.
The problem is that the chat room opens in an applet. That applet is dependent on the browser window staying open. As soon as that browser window changed to a different page, it disconnects you. You can, however, navigate the forum in a different window or a different tab. This is not a recent developement; the chat function always worked this way.

There have been no changes that should have affected chat.
