Shoutbox module in Drupal.

Yesterday I made an effort to install Shoutbox module for the 5.x release of Drupal on my Life website. I was disappointed. In the former version this module was quite stable and offered a variety of features that the new version does not support anymore. What I really miss in the new version is the archive of shouts and the option to use the Shoutbox in a kind of static mode, so that when somebody writes a message and submits it, the page is loaded again. Now it’s realised with AJAX and does not function properly in all browsers. For example in IE7 after the submition of the first message everything is ok, but when you write again and submi,t your design is completely crashed. This is a bug and was already reported several times, but still there is no fix for it.
