I've been having a new problem with the shoutbox and the big chat.. when in Ajax it continuously refreshes me, logging me in and out from the list, and keeping me from being able to type anything in. Then in the normal chat, I am unable to type anything too long into it, and most often I still have to retype what I try to say before it will post whether I hit enter or submit. This is not a lag issue, but something else, and I've already tried deleting cookies not only from E but in general and have also tried refreshing, restarting IE and rebooting. I am now at a bit of a loss as to what could be happening and any suggestions would be great.

As a side note.. my internet access is through a crappy t-mobile wireless device.. >.> I know I know.. could this be what's causing the problem?

Yes, sometimes if your bandwidth is low, Ajax will not work properly.

Does the same apply with the shoutbox then? If so that sucks.. i hate t-mobile.. >.>

The shoutbox expects your ip to stay the same from moment to moment. If it isn't, it will just force-log you out. : /

You can try the 'wipe all cookies' link in the top right, clearing your cache and restarting your browser, if it's a session issue.

Looks like that was already answered here.
