Hi folks, nothing significant has changed with the chat server, I'm sorry to say. It's the exact same one we've been using for years here. I shut it down and restarted it this morning in the hopes that might help with some of your issues.

brittfly... the chat server doesn't have any spell checking -- that's your web browser. If you're web browser has updated or you've changed web browsers recently, that's what's causing that.

What exactly happens when you try and whisper to another member?
