I dunno if any one else has noticed, but my chat has really slowed down since the room changes, even when not watching cams I'm getting a lot of lag, never had this problem before it changed...anyone any ideas??
Also, alot of the smilies have now gone...are they coming back??? :-D

I'd agree... the text doesn't reach right across the page either.
Grrrr yer loads of lag not interested in cam,s why fix whats not broke perhaps next time someone thinks about fixing chat rooms they should ask members if they want it fixed....bet it all crashes at the weekend any takers lol
i agree i keep missing half the chat especially seen as the chat window has been halved due to the size of the cam windows
Why is there gaps in between the conversations in the room if theres a few of you chatting and your slow at typing you miss what they have room is already smaller due to the size of the new cams, and if you are fully paid up you carn't get all the camas on your screen anyway.
I like it - the new cams and the new layout, spacing, font, emoticon size etc :thumbup:
It's just change and this is a 'normal'/typical reaction to it - people will have forgotten what 'old' Chat looked like in a few weeks :P If any of you have ever come across 'Who Moved My Cheese?' you'll know what I mean. If not, Google it and see what you you find wink It should be a story about a mouse that goes to exactly the same place each day to find his cheese and one days he goes and it ain't there any more. But he chooses to keep going back to the same place and gets very, very hungry. One of the other mice starts to explore new places and find new ways of getting cheese and doing things - he finds a different kind of cheese but it's just as good.. and he fills his boots.
I remember that there was exactly the same kind of backlash last time it changed and that was all forgotten very quickly.
Chill and go with the flow - it will change and change again in the future, and then again - everything evolves, otherwise it would become extinct... it's hardly 'life or death' stuff is it? :wink:
i know we are probably repeating ourselves but the extra line in the chat is a bit unneccesary makes the chat room awkward to read at times....so much convo can be missed...
i agree to a certain extent that the chat room need to evolve.. but as with anything some people will like it and some people wont, the new chat still has issues but possibly the site could adjust it and improve it...
the disable whispers ? it stops all whispers.. what about my friends that whisper..?? i dont want to ignore them... be better if u had an "ignore user" button so u can choose who u want to stop whispers from...
Multi cams ? maybe a choice on a button how many cams u want to display.. 2 or 4 etc..
Line spacing? well i dunno really that just seems like its there for the sake of it..lol
Lag ? well i know im not the only one with this issue... the new multicams cause an enormous amout of data lag.. to the extent where it almost stops..
my thoughts written down....
overall its hardly the end of the world... but at the end of the day.. its the members that pay for the site without the paying member the site would collapse so try listening to us too.........
biggrin :shock:
Have to admit i'm not a fan of the double line space, the emoticons are bigger but where has :cry gone - i miss it lol
Also having dreadful probs with lag and being repeatedly disconnected but i'm sure the guys in the back room are working on that, otherwise i quite like it :-)
Would prefer it tho if the whispers could be unblocked to allow friends thro tho

But i dont want to look at half a screen of uninvited whispers all with their own perculiar comments and suggestions as to what i should be doing, nor do i want to stop friends from being able to whisper.
so something that is against site chat room rules should be ignored and tolerated rather than dealt with in a way that discourages other would be whisperers.
should this then be converted to everyday life where bad manners are not tolerated.
i think not
why should i have to put up with something that is bad manners plus i dont want to have to be reporting everyone who whispers without permission i am not that petty but i would just like some common courtesy and ask and get a yes before whispering
perhaps the block all whispers is a good idea but the facility to just let those in your friends list to whisper could be incorporated automatically so when you enter chat and chose your colour and also if you want to enable sounds when you click on disable whispers it does not disable them from your friends list
Agreed flower411 :thumbup:
Like I said elsewhere the other day, if they don't wanna see the whispers, I sure as hell don't wanna see them confused

Ahh, that's better :thumbup:
Text restored to one per line and new features for colour and emoticons as well!
Why has the phone lost its receiver?? on the new icons??
if we say please nicely can we have the cry emoticon back in chat.........
ohhh and my green i like to use as well
ohhhhhhh and while i am asking... any chance of an angel lol
I like it a lot.
I would still like to have same sex icons as a couple tho' please.
Ummm other than that I can't really see that much that has changed. It works, I can chat to people, people can chat to me. I have loads of choices of cams. I have no idea why I would want to look at so many people but I am pleased as punch that I have the choice.........
the font and other stuff that people are talking about is meaningless to me cos I can chat and people can chat to me.
Umm I like the colour list thing too.. that is super. All of it is funky.
thanks
p.s. remember the same sex icons thing, it would make a super pressie just for me.... oh, and maybe BIoke.
Hi Guys
Any chances of displaying in each room who opened the room and is therefore the host and also the time the room was opened ?

ooooooh i like that idea. Saves having to ask "who's the host" 15 times before you get a reply saying they've long gone, just when ya need them lol :bounce:
why would the time the room was opened at be useful?? i like the feature on msn where it timestamps the convo ... makes it easier to refer to if something happened
The only thing that i'm getting really ticked off with now is the constant go slow/lag and then eventual crash, worse in the evenings whens its busy and getting fed up keep having to try to log out and then back in. I know its not my laptop, everything is up to date etc and a lot of others are having problems with crashing constantly and these probs have only started since the Tweaking.
Please please please can someone let us know if these probs are being addressed.
Rant over lol
since the changeover i have had problem with glitchy cams and severe lagging when i type it takes up to 2 seconds to appear on the screen is this going to be looked into please?
no sound on cams ?
fancy that - i've been away a few days (boooo to vanilla life) and decided that tonight i'd have some chill out time in the chatroom.
After a while, guess what, the lag starts up, my text starts taking 8 seconds per letter to appear on the chat line
Seriously thinking whether i can be asked to continue my subscription sad
And the worse thing, i dont see admin coming back on any of the numerous threads now running with any answers about what the problem is or whether they are even working on it and lets face it, its been going on a while now.
any answers on why we have no sound ?

If you were watching 5 cams then it would be a bit of a mess. mad

Not all northerners are fick rolleyes
Since the new multicam layout there are two main things I think would make the chatroom easier to use and less irritating.
1 Do we really need 5 cams on show? By the time you've expanded the window in order to see all potentail cams there's nothing else to see on your computer monitor, and I've got a 24 inch screen but still find this slightly clunky.
Could we just have three instead?
2 The layout is also not very user friendly. It is quite aggravating to keep having to click on the View Rooms button, which also doesn't always work first time so you need to click it two or three times.
Wouldn't it be better to have another column next to the Chatters column, possibly headed with the server name, which displayed all the rooms currently avavilable on that server? It would also help by making it easier to see where you are in the chatrooms.

cool
i dont have a problem with the multicams however.......
when watching multiple cams there is a clash of sounds if mics are on too.....and if 5 cams are playing sound that is soooooo not good!

I certainly never intended to imply that anyone was thick but if all 5 cams have sound on then, with the various delays, it becomes a mess as havethe_faithposted above. If you could select the sound from just one or two cams it might be OK.
Now if I was a female, I could multiplex biggrin
