We’ve seen this problem in Internet Explorer (IE), and it has to do with page caching by the IE browser. Our web site asks your browser not to cache pages, but IE (unlike other browsers) ignores this standard nocache request. So, if you move around between rooms, then go back to a room that you visited a few minutes ago, IE may not send that request to our server; instead it will just show you the (old) page it has cached locally. If our server isn’t notified, it has no idea that you’ve gone into that room, and thus doesn’t know to tell chat to update.

*Sadly, we had to bring back ads too. Hopefully more targeted.
