Oi! You! I had a question about chat that only you can answer! Seriously though, MPK and I have been spending the last few hours in SWF's Chat trying to solve his issue. He's using Linux Mint, and his attempts to log into Chat have all met with failure, regardless of the web browser employed.

As I can't see his screen, my understanding of the situation is hazy, but I believe it must have something to do with his operating system's inability to employ AJAX or whatever auto-refresh script Wikia runs to load text in Chat in real time. We tested his computer's response to the MediaWiki:Common.js/ajaxRefresh.js script for the Recent Changes feed, and he is able to view updates in the feed without reloading, but he seems unable to do so with whatever auto-refresh script powers Chat.

If you could offer some ideas as to how to rectify this, we'd appreciate it.
