When I logged in a few days ago I was prompted to install MS Internet Explorer 9, it would make the site run faster and look better.
Having now done so,
I have lost the ability to use the new chat. keeps saying there is an error in the SH code - Adobe Air does run ok though.
The green icons Instant messaging does not work ! do you call them whispers?
So yes it does look great (more chrome) and runs faster.. but less SH functions.
Help anyone..

I suggest you send admin a support ticket and ask them for advise.
I did the same best thing to do is what i did uninstall IE9 update and go back to IE8 then everything works fine.
If you look at Microsoft's IE 9 (Internet Explorer 9) website, you will see that Microsoft advise that this is classified as RC, i.e. Release Candidate.
This does no mean that as it stands this will be the final version of IE 9 that will becomke generally available in due course, rather it's 'we think it's close and the more people who use and undertake a vastly expanded user testing and bug reporting, will enable us to fine tune to further'
Personally, like all things in previously RC status e.g. Vista, Windows 7, I'll only use on our spare test machine here rather than on any of our day to day desktops or laptops
Use Firefox.......
A snippet from a 'trade mag' spotted this week, inrespect of IE9 Release Candidate (RC) and Firefox 4 (in Beta) around support for the forthcoming HTML 5 'standards'. It is evident that IE9 is yet to implement much of the HTML 5 specification, though Microsoft insists it's supporting only those parts o the specification which is near completion. Which is understandable, a much is still a moving target.
Irrespective of this support for HTML 5 and CSS3 future standards, which should help web developers develop one web site version that works across all major browsers (Chrome, IE9, Firefox, etc.), Microsoft's support for it's own operating systems might be found wanting at this time, as IE9 will only work on Vista or Windows 7 PC operating systems, XP is currently excluded apparently.
Given that the age old IE6 is still widely used on XP and the head of Microsoft's Internet Explorer business group last year said part of his job was to eridicate IE6 use, they may have an issue given it's use and many people still on XP.
On the plus side with IE9 at least it's more efficient at 'handing back memory' when tabs, etc. are closed, unlike the current Firefox 4 beta, which still seems to be retaining it's memory hog reputation. Hopefully things will improve before either Firefox 4 or IE9 go on general release later in the Spring.
Wohoo - You must work for Microsoft!
I'd like to further add.....
Using Firefox (3.6...... whatever version) still continues to surpass the IE whatever....
I'll only use beta Versions when they are fully tested......
I'm very happy with "FIREFOX" - It's proven and is reliable.......
