I don’t use the chat room much these days, I’ve been slammed with other stuff, so it was best for me to not go there so I would have one less distraction. Media transfers, video editing, computer repairs and live sound gigs are very attention intensive activities.

If you’re using the web interface, I’ve found Firefox works much better than Microsoft Internet Explorer. I have not tested it using Safari or Opera. I don’t use Chrome until Google will release a full installer for download.

The best method is to use an IRC client. It tends to give the best results.

I had a similar problem w/the YYE videos in the learn section. Once I updated it all worked fine.
