IE8 and facebook

Not strictly Vista related but....
Has anyone noticed problems using Facebook since IE8? (the problem may be
their end but it seemed to coincide with IE8)

2 things spring to mind.
1. Inability to use the upload a file (photo) feature
2. Clicking on "chat" which shows friends currently online does nothing.

I don't know about your chat problem, but I'm able to upload photos
just fine, after having installed the ActiveX control.

Yes it did (I don't use IE8 after all the problems it cause me on an XP
Acer Atom) seem to coincide but Facebook seemed to have a spell of
server problems re pictures...
