Just upgraded from 9.x to 10.1.

Chat room doesn't seem to work. Just says "connecting"

What would be the cause of that?

I just tried your Chat here and it loaded right up.

I found the problem. It was a modification I had made in one of the include files. I fixed it and chat works now.

Suggestions: Make clicking on a member name in the chat list open a new window. Currently it opens in the same window and loses the chat session. I added to the javascript code to fix my copy.

Also, in Chat_server.asp the call to "Server.HTMLEncode(strMessage)" makes things like apostrophes ' and quotes " look all weird. So I commented that line out.
