Hi,
Been using the new chat room for a couple of days, haven't really come across any issues.
I am running it on a Macbook OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard, using safari 5.1, the desktop chat installed all okay and I've updated it to version 1.0.7.
My built in cam runs fine without having to change the settings like under the current chat room. Just click 'allow' and it runs. I only mention this because mac users have posted before about cams etc.
Bit of feedback for those of us who are not on Windows.
Cheers
Andy
P.S Keep up the great work.
Positives:
All great
Negatives:
Clicking on a profile no longer opens a new window

Elliot,
It appears that the highlighting of 'extras' members is a bit random - I can see my account highlighted, but when viewing the same on another members pc is shows 'unhighlighted'....
not sure if this has been covered ... what about time stamps on the chat text
When using the desktop only and you select a profile the link logs you in to SH but it doesn't go to the profile the first time. Having once logged in tothe html versio of SH selecting a profile a second time it takes you to the profile.
Hi,
Not keen on profile pages opening up behind chat page. Is that designed for any reason?
cheers,
Bob
Used the new chat a few times now had no issues but I was using chrome already, well apart from being a single male but that's a curse only joking have met some wonderful people on here. Was just wondering if you have a room where no whispers allowed if it would be possible to disable them when setting up the room.
Thanks for the feedback again. I've updated the first post with fixes today. We're almost there I think. I'll be reviewing any newly reported bugs tomorrow.
Thanks to all those for the new feature suggestions also, we have a big list of stuff we want to do, and this will come quickly after we've launched the chat we have now.
We now have some serious load testing and cross browser compatibility checks to perform before we move onto launch.
Thanks,
Elliot
Hi Elliot,
Couple of things: the Desktop chat room settings (cameras / camera quality / and font size), so are the Text Formating options.
I also wonder if it would be worthwhile showing the desktop version somewhere on the panel.
However I think it's a great improvement - thanks
Sorry but:
Do not like the tab system in chat. cannot see normal chat when whispering and this will be frustrating as I am a slow typist .
Highlighting the extra members and placing them at the top of the members chatting seems to serve no purpose whatsoever.
Im Using windows 7 opera browser and norton firewall. i keep getting timed out when i view profiles.
Just been on the Beta Chatroom & am like amazing...
Feel that I was on a Borg Space Cube (Star Trek geek knowladge) it's great.
Really well put together...
What I would like is Male's, Couples & Females to be in three diffrent sections
in the left section that has who's in the actual Chatroom.
Now that would work a treat.
To be honset I was in two minds if to renew my SH Membership due to the current
econmic situation as money is tight for me but with these new imporvements, I'll stay
a member.
Great work & it's not even complete yet..!!
Elliott,
Went into Test Room, with all the 'bots' to do some testing with Buxy (Max and Lee have details of her issue)
When we finished
- clicked "Rooms"
- selected "The Pool"
- clicked "Join"
Then placed back and could see chat in The Pool, however had a 'SH Chat pop up window' headed "Joining Room", in the main body with the 'rotating' count down circle and the text "Please wait while we join you to the room..."
Could see the Pool chat scrolling behind it, but unable to access any Chat functions behind the 'pop up'
After 1 minute, still had the pop up
Only option was to exit Beta Chat and re-join from scratch
As HnS posted, there did seem to be an issue re-joining the pool room from the test room, first time trying to get into pool room, I had to click join twice a to gain access, then got that test whisper which Lee is aware of. Also from the test room the whisper tab stayed with me in to the pool room, it didnt expire once I left and joined another room. Got stuck on my side twice, my posts loaded to chat room, but I couldnt see them, had to log out each time shortly after being in test room.
Just checked a profile and when I closed window the 'view user profile' tile is still showing over members list.
Cannot even connect to server to get in beta chat what a good start.

Might be just something associated with the Test room and all the bots, but today noticed that when posting in there taking circa 2-3 seconds from pressing enter to seeing text in Chat screen,
Switching back to The Pool, then posting to seeing was sub 1 second, as usual.
Is this a feature of this test room today since the crash, or something else ?
(was sub 1 second responses yesterday when doing some testing with Buxy)
As Elliot is in bed, I have updated the bug list in the first post with the latest status. We still have some more bugs to fix before we can go live.
L33/Elliott,
Today also started getting the "View user profile" pop up box staying rather than 'collapsing' after looking at a profile.
Re-occurrs after quitting chat and coming back and clearing cache etc.
(seems to occur after 10-12 mins in chat and can recreate after 6-7 look ups)
