As of 3/9/10 the current version 1.2.3 of this plug-in running in Elgg 1.6.2 fails with Internet Explorer 8.0 due to the bug described here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2790822&group_i...
This causes the online user list to display over the message entry box, which makes it not usable.
This bug primarily affects running the plug-in in Embed mode. If the plug-in author updates to the latest version of phpFreeChat the bug is fixed, but there is a work around described in the link above.
Another bug in IE7 and IE8 still persists as other users have reported -- it will not automatically connect to the default chat when the pop-up window opens, as works correctly with Firefox. I'm searching the phpFreeChat site at http://www.phpfreechat.net to see if anyone has a fix or workaround on that, or whether the bug is within the Elgg plug-in version itself.
