problem w/ chat

i don’t know if this only happens to me but i have a problem w/ the chat system:
it takes it like 5 minutes to load and more often then not it will not load at all.
if and when it loads posting is vary slow or doesn’t work and changing chat rooms is out of the question.
i use firefox 2 (although this happens on IE 7 as well) on windows xp sp2 w/ a 1500/150 kbits cable connection throw a wireless router.
please if any one can help it will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

p.s. i lost like 10 badges because of bad connection

p.p.s. i really love this site as a hardcore flash gamer, and i’m looking forward to uploading sum of my own work soon

That is just dissapointing, and the average should not be used as a standard because the average sucks.

Better than average is kinda refreshing, especially when the average is, as you say, “chat wnot wrk 4 me cn u fxi it plzkthx”

i am using the windows xp firewall and connecting only throw a router.
i emailed mike and didn’t get response yet.
about my spelling, i’m dyslectic and english is not my native language.
considering that i don’t think my spelling is that bad.
this is a forum, it’s not like i’m writing a novel!

does this have to do with port forwarding?

I think it’s server lag more then anything else.
Kong can be abit laggy at times.
