Hi Has anyone noticed a problem with the chatroom when using the new internet exploter 7 RC1? everything seams ok until you want to view someones profile and it loads the page in the same window as the chat so kicking you off the chat room. And you have to wait 5mins untill you are allowed back in.
Thanks Jay

IE is, and always has been a diabolical browser. IE7 doesn't even come close to fixing the problems it's caused - in fact in some cases it makes them worse.
Do yourself a favour and try one of the above out smile

I am on IE7 and have had same problem, plus server kicks me out altogether sometimes and while I can send messages, I see nothing coming back. Have looked at other chat rooms with no problems, so I think it is something to do with Swingingheaven and IE

Quite possibly, but as IE7 is not yet an official browser, it would be unfair to expect them to cater to it.

The only version of IE 7 available is the beta version. With a half finished browser you will most likely encounter problems viewing this site, in addition to others on the net.
I think the full version is due for release in December. Until then, please either use IE 6 or the other browsers mentioned.

Would just like to say tho we use Ie 7 and havent had any problems smile

If you really do wish to use IE7 then i would advise this
install a second browser like opera or firefox ( don't make it your default browser) just use on swinging heaven and chat rooms
Use IE7 for the rest..... but as has been said before, IE7 is only 1/2 finished and still has lots of bugs in it so you will get problems with it on alot of websites.

I dont use IE , download and use firefox, its more stable and a lot easier to clean up ;)

Although I mainly use Firefox, I do use IE7 as well. It would be much appreciated if profiles would open in a new tab/window smile
Unfortunately viewing profiles from the chatroom is the only problem I have had with IE7. All other sites I visit work without any problems biggrin

Seams to be a issue with flash coding that uses targe _blank. quite a few thing on google about it. they think the way around it is to use javascript to open a new window. ill give it a test one day when i get time. Could always go back to ie6, but i like to be different lol

You are not the only one who is different and no the problems are not just with IE7.
I use IE7 and I have it running on Vista. I also have the same issue you have.
Contrary to some of the comments on here IE7 is not a 'half' complete browser. I would agree though that I do also use Firefox.
The problems though are not just restricted to IE7 and thats why I would agree with you that it is down to swingingheaven, as it is with a few other sites.
I also use a mobile device which does not use IE7 and I have problems with popups and new windows opening.
Problem is standards and people not sticking to them. And that goes for the Mozilla communities as well as the Microsoft's.
Considering that Vista RC1 is out and IE7 running on this will not have any significant changes before January when it will be shipped people should be testing their sites for issues now with the browser.
I suppose we may have to live with the issue when browsing this site. Its worth it though as i couldnt live without SH now.

im having the same problem and got the same response from the help, surely its time to check your site works with it instead of relying on microsoft to sort it out as they may fail! its not as if IE 7 will be a rare piece of software. Have the same problems on a similar type website, its just got to be with the javascript and popups.
