Chat mode with new software not working

Has anyone noticed the chat mode is not working or is it my system.

Also I noticed I cannot cut and paste web sites url with the new update. Anyone else have this problem

I'm not having those problems cause I don't do those things, but there seems to be plenty of problems to go around. The problems I'm having are pages loading slowly or not at all and some of the graphics are all goofy. Also when returning to the main forum page after looking at a post, it's not the current page but an earlier version. I have to refresh to make it current. Frustrating. At least the vibrating train horn ad is gone.

I can get it to open but then it tells me I have to name myself before I can chat and no matter what I did, it didn't work
