Are you using the Java Chat Popup on the board or another chatting engine such as mIRC or Xchat?

What you're describing seems to be what happens to me when I try to use the popup chat window sometimes. If you are interested in chatting and are willing to invest a few minutes, check out this thread:

for a step by step to set up mIRC

Let us know if that doesn't solve the issue ..
