Thanks. This happened when we moved our site to a new server. We've had several web developers look at this and they can't figure out why it happens. It's an error with a Joomla component.
Since we're moving to new forums and a new account system we've let this be.
ok, for the chat I wasn't sure if this was cuz of the machine i am on right now since i don't use the chat at home, or if it was over all.
As jooky said, since we are switching ot a new forum we are letting all this slide for now (i know its annoying) but with the new site everything will workk 500x better.
