chat - people can't see my text

I can log in just fine into chat. I can enter text and hit send.
I show up as entered something.. but no one can read it...
please help...
Since eccie's maintenance a few nights ago, firefox and IE have been messed up on the site and in chat. Clear out your temporary files and cookies. This fixed my chat issues and posting/emailing abilities. I hope that helps.
Tried doing that AND using Safari
Nothing, it still won't even load the chat. Tried contacting an admin, got ignored. Not sure what else I can do at this point.
