Chat server is the 1st thing to fall over when there are connection problems, which can range from flaky/slow internet at your end to dodgy router/switches attached to BB's servers, and anything in between the two.
if you know how to reset your connection, like when you need a different IP address to the one you're currently allocated, you might strike lucky and get routed past a bottleneck somewhere.
Other things leeching on your internet can also tip things over the edge, like streaming catchup TV or updates.

Tried 3 browsers, cleared cache, cleared flash cache, flushed dns, still chat resets and lands me on chat tabs by random when it reloads. Driving me mad. I don't have any issues with anything else and no, I'm not running anything else with settlers.
