whenever any of us chatters change page, previous posts show up and our posts since then have been removed.
I tried deleting the top posts and it didn't work, instead showing us the posts prior to that.
just a little notice in case this happens in the future.

This us due to you hitting the back button on your browser. Your browser restores the page and the chatbox from the moment u left your previous page. Think of it as your browser taking pictures of your page and restoring those pictures latter when the back button is clicked.

DW, there is an easy fix though.

EASY FIX

Just hit the "refresh" button on the chat. It's right above "Go"

Thing is though, it was happening to all of us, and even when we refreshed the reset happened. It seemed to clear itself up after two or three hours though, which was bizarre

it was happening even when we refreshed the actual page though
it was happening to all chatters, which is why I'm still wondering what it was

All I know is that it's not the chat box.

Cause:
Your Browser history/cookies full of data that it doesn't know which information to feed to the webpage.

Symptom:
Showing posts from an earlier stage, lagging and other strange, unexplainable things.

Fix:
Clear your browser history and your cookies and cache every week or so.
