User blog:WesternSkies/Chat Problems

For ~2 weeks now, I've been having some serious problems with chat. Chat eats messages so that if there are 5 or 6 messages sent, I will only receive 2-3 of them. I get all the messages when I refresh, but it's extremely inconvenient. If chat is moving too fast, I can't keep up because by the time I've refreshed, several new messages have been sent, and I can't see old ones. Around the same time this started happening, my ping phrases disappeared, so if I'm needed, I can't hear pings or scroll up to see my name.

As a chat mod on the Fantendo wiki, this prevents me from performing my duties properly, as I can't scroll up to see past messages due to refreshing so many times, and many messages will slip by me.

I will note that this problem only affects me when I'm using my laptop. Chat functions perfectly fine on mobile.

I've emailed Wikia about the problem, but haven't gotten a response, so any solution would be greatly appreciated.
