There are two things I would like to see changed in the "chat room", the first is the name of the rooms host after the title, e.g. "Naturists South West"......Boofy., and the second is an automatic blocking of Whispers in all rooms unless the recipiant opens it, and is prepared to answer a whisper!
What do other users think?
Identifying the room host would be a good idea - perhaps the screen name could be highlighted in a different colour??.
All too often people open rooms and whenever we ask who the room host is, its very rare anyone admits it.
The socond thing we would like implimented is to be able to block individuals from viewing your cam, its very irritating having someone watching you who just keeps whispering pathetic comments.
Surely you can just kick them out if it is that bad.
Unfortunatly Optix the automatic system does not always work and when you change rooms the whipser control reverts back to open line

Elliott,
re current access issue, you going to post here or mail out when resolved ?
thx
Can't get in
"There has been an error loading your profile. Please contact support."
Wondering if its a Vista thing...?
its working fine here too
"There was an error somewhere." ?
those who got in what you running.....vista or windows 7?
Can get in with windows 7 running IE and google chrome, can also get in with mac os and safari.
Elliott,
Win7 + IE 8
Ran download of Adobe Air for "SH Chat" and now have "SH Chat" desktop item.
If run from "SH Chat" desktop icon, get a userid/password login screen. However using existing SH login of "hns" and "usual password" results in "Invalid username or password" error. (This being the same combination that allows me to log into SH to access this thread)
If log into SH normally and select Chatroom tab off menu, http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/chatroom/?k=0eace1fd57dc7ec31a531590b97cd237
I get the usual
- "T&Cs" statement
- "Extras Lounge" and "Enter Chatroom" options
- screen width "Launch Beta Chat"
- "speed swing"
display.
However, Sexyme09, sat alongside me with Win7, IE8, SH Chat download/desktop icon similarly can't access via desktop. At the userid/password login screen, she also fails to be able to log in, however with a different error, namely "There has been an error loading your profile. Please contact support"
However by logging into SH normally and going to Chatroom tab, she gets a different display on her http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/chatroom/?k=0eace1fd57dc7ec31a531590b97cd237 screen. Instead of screen width "Launch Beta Chat", like "Extras Lounge" and "Enter Chatroom", this 'line' on her screen is similarly split with "Launch Beta Chat" and "Launch Desktop Chat" options. Selecting "Launch Desktop Chat", she successfully gains access to the beta chat test area.
Cant auth the flash request for cam in Opera. Wont allow clicking of the Adobe auth popup.
vista and firefox 3.6.8 and no problems
right i tried on vista on fire fox and on IE8 neither worked so i went on my other laptop on win 7 on both firefox AND ie8 and still it wont launch?
I also installed teh desktop icon and attempted to access that way but got the error message on boyth vista and win & weird though as some ppl are getting in no trouble n other are which is why i tested on both to see if it was a vista conlflict.
Oh and i already have this version of adobe air too on both win 7 laptop and vista one.
If you only see 1 logon option on the Chatroom page - with the message 'As you have an older browser....'etc, then you are running IE8 in 'compatability mode'.
Issue Resolution:
IE8 > Tools > compatability view settings = off
Restart IE8, log back on to the site , Chatroom , you should now see the twin logon's for the new Chatroom.
Click on LAUNCH BETA CHATand you should be in.
In Opera bold, italic and underline don't show in chat to the Opera user, though bold and italic to show in the message box as you type.
minor issue
if pasting a link and using the http:// form - the chat interprets this and insets a smiley from the IM ( :/ )
Elliott,
did a test with Gofun, by opening a test room, generala (green) not private (red).
However unable to locate usual room host controls, i.e. general clear chat or to kick a user, which they advise were there yesterday.
mm Kick seemed to appear after going into a wispa with that user
Just tried and keep getting the "There was an error somewhere" screen.
Am using Mozilla Firefox in private browsing mode
Elliott
Further testing with Gofun.
1) Copy function of chat text seems to be random, i.e. can't select text to copy, or can select partial text or occasionally full text
2) As previously reported, if you add http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk etc. url into chat, then you can get a emoticon between http and the 2nd / However this only appeared on my view of the chat screen, i.e. Gofun just saw the url as intended rather than the emoticon having being inserted
(however in Pool one that St3v3 posted also showed the emoticon issue)
3) When opened cam, rather than the traditional 'eye' icon appearing over the profile (s) watching in the "members"/Chatters list, we now have the "Watchers" list. Given the space available and having to 'toggle' between Live Cams and Watchers options, believe that this will lead to some frustration and confusion.
4) If undertaking whispers in the traditional view, i.e. they appear in order amongst general chat convo's in the main screen, then would it be possible to better highlight whispers ?
(Appreciate that can't use italics now we have the bold, italic and underline options, or is the idea that all use the tab and 'separate' general or whisper option of separate screens rather than single view ?)
Update - see comment against item 6. Reasonably happier with Whispers in new chat now
5) Speaking of bold, italics and underline. This appears to be for the whole 'send' line rather than being used to highlight portions of text within that line, a more useful facility
6) On Whispers, switching from whisper mode back to general chat under 'Chatroom settings', 'show whispers' (options either Off, inline with chatroom or in separate tabs) doesn't seem as slick as the existing Chat
Update - Further 'play'/testing and familiarity seems to have resolved the issues we encountered. Suggest that additional ? help panels are developed/deployed as the new functionality is not intuative as is
7) The new camera options are brilliant, the quality is so much better (depending on options selected)
8) New 'pop out' camera is good
9) When in Pool had Rich_k and St3v3 cams up. Against Rich_k cam under 'expand' 'speaker' and 'x' options had a white windows type pop up box with just "rich_k" (line 1) and "st3v3" (line 2), however no similar window/pop up in same place on st3v3 cam. Curious
Update - now understand, thanks for explaining why when online in the Pool earlier, not an issue now we understand
