There is an option I've found on Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox as follows:
Right-click to bring up the Flash popup menu, and select "zoom in"
Right-click again and select "zoom out" - looks like nothing has changed but......
You can now resize your window and the chat text size will change with it

We have an auto responder? Ooooooooooo tell me more please
Click on 'Settings' under 'My Account' on the left hand side. Select the 'Wink' tab and set the message box with the response you wish to send to winkers. If it says 'none' it means the winks will be delivered to your inbox.
Just tried this very good advice but we don't have the extras upgrade so I guess i'm just gonna have to continue to ignore and delete winks when they come.
Thanks everyone for the feedback & help

This is a glitch with the new site - Admin are aware of it and it should be fixed sometime soon.

A good question or a thankless task!
Well someone has to do it or anarchy would reign in the Chatrooms!
Nobody gets it right every-time including Chatroom Ops! We all make mistakes (well Mrs Gu Mk1 & II were). We all learn from these mistakes to make us better in the future.
They are all (unpaid) volunteers - so those that are must be committed to doing it (I hope!).
There are never enough, but you can have too many....
You don't need to be an Op to help others - imparting knowledge is a gift to everyone..
A complaint from one is only half the story..
Would I do it - Yes, if I felt happy that I was doing it for the right reasons and could provide the commitment. No, if it's really a burden that would get in the way of why I'm here.
So, it's all down to a personal choice to be or not to be an Op...
Thanks for your kind words (they are appreciated) and a good point you make about the fact that you don't need to be an Op to help someone. I know members don't have the buttons that Ops have, but when someone takes the time to help another member out it really shows how much this is a community rather than just another website.

Hiya - there's nothing you listed that would cause the member to be banned and I can only assume something else must have happened. As I said before I can't give you a definitive answer as I don't know about the specific situation.
But to reiterate my last post, if anyone has an issue with something that happened, they can report it to Admin to look into it further. This includes any action that an Op takes (we have guidelines that we work to).

Quote by Ahabs
I once saw a situation (yes i was in the room) where a single guy had a lady friend at his and he got banned - they weren't playign and he was the one doing the typing.
His crime? Apparently she was not an SH member. Is this true? And how does one go abotu proving who is and who isn't an SH member and surely its not the only case wherepeople have cammed meets with non-site members?
Hi Ahabs - obviously I can't comment on the situation you mentioned (not knowing who and when it was) but there are no problems with a non-member being on cam providing the following conditions are met:
- they know they're on cam and consent to it
- they're 18 or over
- the member remains in control of the keyboard
Do you know that he got banned rather than just kicked? If ever anyone has an issue with something that has happened on site, they can report it to Admin and it will get looked into. :thumbup:

It is very hard in the forums to see the difference in the quotes, the old style the quoted boxes were outlined in black making it easier to see who said what. The new style is white and it all blends together.
Could something be done about this please?
Yup I agree with this one - black outlines are much better :thumbup:

Quote by Steve
Well correct me if I'm wrong but to have your details included in the map dont you have to volunteer the information anywaytherefore giving consent :dunno: or is the information taken from the database that already exsists here ?
Hi Steve - yup it would be voluntary from what's been proposed. The question was in two parts: (a) does anyone want to be included in the personal map Anoush has created and (b) would SH think about doing one on here. It would be voluntary but Anoush wouldn't have access to the database held here.
Quote by Anoush
Varken, with respect, your understanding isnt accurate.
Google maps will approximate the address if it is only partially given.
I think we're saying the same thing in different ways (correct me if I'm wrong). I said you'd need to give a specific location for the placemark to be accurate. You said it would approximate the address if it's only partially given.
My thought (probably not very well worded) was that if members on here have chosen to indicate distance from other members but not postcode (or not their real postcode), it would be difficult to do in Google.
Suggestion: I'll drop Admin a line and ask them to comment on whether any element of this could be considered. How's that sound?
Sex God
I think the problem might be with how much information would be required to provide an accurate map reference.
SH members have options whether or not to show the first part of their postcode (and town/county) and whether or not to allow other members to calculate distance from them. So you can set it so give away very little about where you actually are, whilst providing other members with a reasonable idea of distance.
Also, the first part of a postcode can pinpoint an address to within a few houses for a significant part of the population. I suspect that a lot of people on here who have their postcode visible have actually chosen one near them rather than the real one.
As far as I understand it in Google Maps, you'd need to give a specific location for a placemark to be accurate enough to be useful. IMO for this reason it may be too much public information for members to be comfortable with.
I think Atom is also right in that people tend to meet on here primarily because they have the same interests rather than being driven primarily by location.

This is not something that would be taken up on site. We already have facilities for people to make the first part of their postcode available on their profiles for other members to view if required.
A significant number of members do not want other people in the wider world to know what their personal habits and interests are. It could lead to all sorts of difficult and compromising situations.
The reason why we don't allow email or postal addresses, dogging locations with specific meet times or telephone numbers to be published on site or in chat is because it is a risk to personal safety.
Some people join sites such as this for reasons other than what it's intended for. These include journalists, those looking to expose people they know (or complete strangers) and those looking to sell dubious services.
Personally I'd steer well clear.

Babe and Hun are horrible and patronising, M8 is very annoying- but what really makes me see red is "BB" - thoroughly nauseating.
Hmmm - I use "hun" as a term of endearment to those on here that I chat to regularly. If anyone does take offence to this I shall avoid it in future though I'd hope it's taken in the spirit it's intended

My employer has never paid for a christmas do. Until 4 years ago we used to get £5 per head contribution towards a meal that we'd individually pay the rest of the bill for.
Since 4 years ago there has been no contribution at all. However, we do get an additional day's leave (although this is always discretionary so they can pull the plug if they want to).
Just in case you're wondering, I work for a global IT consultancy...bah-humbug

Do you get any sort of error message? Does the chatroom window load at all (and appear empty) or not appear in the first place? Have you tried an alternative browser to find out whether it's a setting causing the problem? If could be a popup blocker too.
By the way, it would be good if you could take off your caps lock (it's regarded as SHOUTING onine)

May i ask a question plz Dawnie??
Do all the people in the meeting taking place not have to be members?? I'm only asking as friends(a cpl) of mine on here once got banned for showing other people on there cam who was actually members.
Providing you are in control of the keyboard and retain responsibility for the connection into SH chat, anyone else can appear on cam. They need to know they are on cam (and consent to it) and must be over 18. As long as you do this and stay within the rules of the site you'll be fine.

If you have been hosting a chatroom and are logging off from the site, you no longer need to request that the room is closed. Providing there are no issues, rooms can now run hostless. Chatroom Ops will check them from time to time to ensure they are running appropriately.
Please note that if you wish to host a different room, you will still need to request the original one is closed. Members cannot host more than one room at once.
To contact an Op immediately, please visit the bottom of the Forum home page where any available Ops and Admin will be listed. This is available here:

If more folk reported the abusers more regularly we might see some serial offenders banned as they deserve.

If Ops aren't around this is the only way we and Admin know there's been a problem, so if you do get into difficulties with an abusive member please doreport it.

Quote by Lost
We agree - Hate it when you see things sich as NO SINGLE MALES - SINGLE MALES WILL BE IGNORED - DO YOU UNDERSTAND NO SINGLE MALES!! And lots of others in a similar vein.
Just a simple "Please note we are not entertaining single men" Should suffice. If then you get unsolicited mail/attention from them you can ignore with impunity.
Makes me laugh when I'm in chat and I see couples or blokes with profiles like this (usually in the gay/bi rooms) who are specifically looking for meets with single males....and there's the other old chestnut of the profile saying "not remotely bi, don't ask me because a smack in the chops often offends" and there they are on cam trying for a meet with another bloke. If you ask them about it they usually say something along the lines of "does my profile really say that?" or "oh yes, it needs updating".
As Woo would say, pish!
