It seems to be a combination of several issues. I'm no stranger to actionscript myself, and I have to say I really don't think it's a suitable environment for processor intensive tasks like running video chats.
Firstly, there appears to be no cap on the size of any strings, so the storage space eaten up by the 'log' of messages, the user name lists, the profile name lists, the chatroom lists etc. just grows and grows until performance degrades so much the user gives up!
Secondly, there appear to be race states between the local machine and server if you do anything before all the status data has reached the client from the server
Thirdly, there is some sort of exponential-time process happening when typing long responses. I can literally hear my processor fan spinning up if I type long lines of text!
I think the only feasible method of fixing this without employing a really serious actionscript guru to implement infallible garbage-collection routines and optimise the code, is to go back to basics and have a java IRC client again, and trim the Flash section own to just handling the cams. This would have the triple benefits of allowing the old moderation system to be used, allowing Mirc access, and allowing any sort of automated policing/censoring (which the new room so despetately needs) to be carried out by a fairly simple to write IRC bot.

Yea, i saw that Steph so i gather that to be the place to place my utterings into, but, what is the password access that i am asked to enter when i highlight a chatroom i would like to go to and hopefully make a contribution ?
The 'other chatrooms' you can highlight do not appear to be usable, as the dozens of abandoned ones that you see in the list indicates. If you see a '0' next to the name of the other room it means it's empty anyway, and I've never seen one without a '0' next to it.
Condoms are never 100% safe, since they sometimes break, but they do offer a great deal of protection against most (but not all) STDs.
If you want to know more, I suggest talking to a doctor rather then a bunch of perves :-)
Try (a free NHS information site aimed at 'young guns'!) to find out what people who really know about this sort of thing have to say.
Oh, and you can always edit your posts, by clicking the 'edit' button if you want to tidy up spellling

Only if the knife slips!
Seriously though, a freind of mine had this done for medical resons in his 30s, and with modern anaesthetics, he barely knew it was happening. The diffcult bit is aparrently waiting for it to heal, when he found any kind of arousal to be excrutiatingly painful... so I guess we won't be seeing you around for a bit after the 10th.
Best of luck for the op, and I sincerely hope it doesn't hurt too much!
I think it's worth adding that I think the users preferred solution to this would be to provide a free-text field for forum location, as before, rather than linking forum location to the advert system location. This would allow users to be as specific or as vague as they choose on the forum.
The complete answer to this is a bit complicated...
There are several different types of thing that all get called broadband, but the 2 you might be talking about are ADSL, which comes over a phone line, and Cable, wich comes over the same connector as Cable TV.
If you decide to get broadband from a cable TV company like NTL or Telewest, and you don't already have cable TV, then you'll need a bit of drilling and cabling done to get hooked up to their cable service.
If you get ADSL from AOL (or preferably anybody other than AOL!), then you simply have to plug some extra boxes (microfilters and a router) into your phone sockets, and that's all there is to it... usually!
The exceptions are people without a BT phone line ,who would need to get one installed, or people who don't have phone sockets, but have those old phones that are wired straight into the wall, which are incredibly rare these days.

Some of the post codes have issues in that the towns don't appear in the list underneath.
That changes the location used in adverts and profiles, but it does not affect the location given in forum posts, just below the post count, which is what gingerminge38 is asking about.
Let's have a bit of culture...
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your pants!
Pants, O Pants, Wherefore art thou Pants?
Something is rotten in the pants of Denmark!
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your pants.
I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad pants.
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous pants?

I'm fed up with all these 'how superheroes got started' films. How many times can a film be made with the same plot of 'accident / discovery of powers / internal conflict about powers / sod all that, just get on with saving the world'?
X-men, Spider-Man, Batman, Batman Begins, The Fantastic Four, The Hulk (and the new Sup[erman film)... are all just the SAME film with a few details changed. Superhero films can be good, but Hollywood would rather stick to the same old formula, all these ones I've mentioned put together don't have the plot, inventiveness and insight of 'The Incredibles', which was supposed to be a kids movie!
The sad thing is that this 'accident / discovery of powers / internal conflict about powers / sod all that, just get on with saving the world' plot was actually handled in a brilliantly different way by a much overlooked film, 'Unbreakable', which wasn't the box office smash that the others were - presumably because it wasn't all about computer graphics effects, and spent much more of it's time dealing with characters and motivations.
While I'm on a rant... 'The English Patient" - how boring was that? Telling a story out of sequence doesn't equal intellectual insight.
I will admit to being rather impressed with 'charlie and the chocolate factory' though, which managed to both be a scene-by-scene retelling of the earlier film where necessary, and to add a whole new layer dealing with Wonka's quirkiness, which is simply presented as a fixed fact by the book and first film.

Back in my newbie days, when I thought this was a quick shag site, a large percentage of ads used to include the phrase "must be discreet", so I decided to literally 'be discreet'. It's a fairly silly name, but then again, I'm a fairly silly person.
The 'Mister' was something of an afterthought, but it's served me wll over the years, I hardly ever get unwanted PMs from semi-literate men!

Long term bi curious males are just something I don’t understand, after saying this there are few straight males and females I have a problem understanding at times too. Its wonderful that we have such diversity among us all, isn’t it ?
Well, since I'm looking at the label 'long term bi curious' and thinking that fits me quite well (much better than plain 'bi'), I thought I ought to chip in on this thread and say what I'm getting out of it:
I'm enjoying gradually pushing my personal boundaries back, and I'm also enjoying the anticipation of new experiences, the feeling that I can try something that's ' ', and the nervous uncertainty. I'm aware that I probably do have limits for what I will enjoy doing, and I might well be at or near those limits already. I've been in situations where I could have gone a lot further, and might have regretted it after, or worse decided part way through that I had to stop, which isn't a situation I'd feel good about putting the other participant(s) in.
I'd like to try X,Y and Z, someday, but I don't have a burning desire to eat every course of the banquet at once. I guess that moving slowly is my way of having my cake and eating it.
The 'ignore' function on the forum is not behaving as expected.
If a user you are ignoring sends you a PM, then your 'new mail' indicator will flash, but no mail will appear in your inbox. The only known way to turn the 'new mail' indicator off is to take the user off ignore, and open the PM, which rather defeats the purpose of ignoring them!
Additionally, the user sending the unwanted PM is able to see the read/unread status of the PM in their outbox, which may not be desirable (I can see this one causing rows, just like the 'block function on MSN!)

Before, there was a global forum setting that let you choose to recieve a notification or not. I'm still getting the notifications, as I had this turned on pre-facelift, so I expect the functionality is still there and it's just the button that is missing.
Following on from that, I have another glitch to report, I'm unable to log in from any pages othe than the lists of topics - if I go to an particular thread (by following a link in a notifcation mail for example), nothing happens when I enter my name/password.
Following the convention of reporting missing functionality that the old site had in the glitch thread, it seems we no longer have the ability to use .gif files for avatars (I'm reluctant to investigate as I don't want to lose mine... at least not until after christmas!)
Would the staff find it useful for the members to compile a single, up to date list of glitches/missing functionality issues, and rate their severity?

I hope you'll take this as a constructive suggestion for the future instead of a personal attack, but frankly, I'm flabbergasted by the lack of beta testing here.
The community here really wants SH to work, I'm sure if you asked for a team of literate, experienced beta testers willing to put thousands of man hours into testing the changes before they went live, we could have provided you with that quickly, efficiently and free of charge. You would have been saved all this panic patching up a live system, the arduous task of picking real bug reports out of the groundswill of ill-feeling, and the financial loss caused by people leaving because they find the bugs unacceptable.
Maybe this is a suggestion you could pass up the management chain?
