Regarding my situation, I found the problem. At first we thought it was a style issue because on the default style it worked. So slowly I added all my hacks to the default style, one by one, to make sure it wasn't one of them causing it. Got them all added and everything is still working like a charm. Must have been the style right? Well kinda...I had added some script to the footer of the old style, but not the default one. I realized that today so I went to go add my script (it's a stats script) and the chat room came to a halt again. So I went in and removed the $footer from the flashchat template and just hand coded the footer in instead so that way I could still have the script on all of the other pages but not the flashchat page.

So if anyone every has the problem that I did (can't type in the text box, change rooms, etc....), look in your header or footer for any conflicting code.

Just thought I would let those who have been scratching their heads what the outcome was.
