Chat doesn't work.

thegamerme

Hey ladys and gents. I just came back to the new twitch.tv and I'm having issues with the site.  

1. I can't just press return when typing. I have to click the chat button to add to chat.  

2.  when i press the options tab it just refreshes the page  over and over.  

its kind of annoying any ideas . thanks  brendan

What browser are you using?

I'm having problems with chat today as well.  I use Explorer.  The loading icon just continues to "load," but I can't see any of the chat, nor does it allow me to chat at all.  This is the first time since I have joined Twitch that this has happened (for about 2-3 months)...and it came at a really bad time.  How do I fix this?  I've refreshed...nothing.  Tried other streams, even those I don't follow...nothing.

Same problem anheuser75 is having. Using explorer 8. Chat loading icon persists for every stream and when options is chosen to use chat in popout the popout redirects to justin.tv unidefined video channel and is blank. When you close the popout the stream youre viewing refreshes and the chat loading icon is still the only thing in the chat window.

@thegamerme are you using any browser plugins/extensions like Trollface or virtual keyboard?

@anheuser75 does it work with another browser, like Chrome?

Update: it doesn't happen when I am not logged in to twitch, only when I am logged in.

Seems to be an issue with IE. All people reporting this problem all have internet explorer in common. I sent in a report.

@boats60 try using chrome and report back if it's still a problem. IE8 is very old.
