What really baked my cookies was that if I opened Firefox, and removed the /me chat, I could refresh Explorer and all was well. Firefox showed the /me text perfectly in the chat window and in the Archive so it did get submitted ~ Explorer simply stalled on submission (Little animated circle did it's thing forever and other users were unable to chat (I asked, they too were on Explorer). Explorer would also return to a functional state if I disable the /me command.
Ok I mark this is in the bug list and will check it out.
Was this with any /me text or was there a specific text ?

Seems any text is accepted but not able to display with the other chats in IE. I typed test, 'test' with single quotes and "test" with double quotes just to try to figure out anything to make it work but once sent, the chat window in IE would freeze with only the refresh spinning icon continually spinning. Other users were obviously unable to chat until I deleted the chat with /me in it. Firefox displayed each with no problems.
Hum it's strange, do you get any similar error if you look into the firefox console ?
A node doesn't exist. FireFox is more forgiving when it comes to coding errors. The fix I've incorporated is as follows catching any error that may happen.
This fixes the /me and /slap and possibly any other display issues of special commands in IE.
Code:
mgc_cb_evo_functions.js
try {
/* Creation of the username column */
nchattd = document.createElement('td');
nchattd.setAttribute('width','0');
nchattd.setAttribute('align',mgc_cb_evo_left);
nchattd.setAttribute('valign',mgc_cb_evo_chat_valign);
nchattd.setAttribute('noWrap','nowrap');
nchattd.style.whiteSpace = 'nowrap';
nchattd.innerHTML = xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
nchatrow.appendChild(nchattd);
} catch(e) {
/* Creation of the username column for IE */
nchattd = document.createElement('td');
nchattd.setAttribute('width','0');
nchattd.setAttribute('align',mgc_cb_evo_left);
nchattd.setAttribute('valign',mgc_cb_evo_chat_valign);
nchattd.setAttribute('noWrap','nowrap');
nchattd.style.whiteSpace = 'nowrap';
nchatrow.appendChild(nchattd);
}

... and verified as working.
(THANKS!)
I commented out lines 2104 through 2112 and inserted your code and Voila!, its working for both /me and /slaps...
