Adding to my note above: All users to my site are reporting the same issue. After some time idling where the chatbox is or chatting on it, their IEs will quit working. All Firefox users are having no problems with it though. I tried myself, and yes it only happens on IE, and never on Firefox.
Adding more info to this problem:
(1) The problem seem to happen to me only when auto-refresh is on.
(2) I initially had set auto-refresh to 5 seconds, and the problem was happening a LOT!
(3) Then I changed auto-refresh to 10 seconds and the problem nearly went away, but still happened once.
(4) Again, only in IE. Firefox works fine all the time.
I think the problem is that the auto-refresh starts to refresh the Ajax div, then sometimes it takes longer to refresh the Ajax div than the auto-refresh timer is set to, and the auto-refresh timer goes off again and thats when it blows up - it tries to re-refresh the ajax div which is already being refreshed.
May also happen to people without auto-refresh if they spam the REFRESH button too quickly.
