Why is it when I go into chat ON THIS SITE ONLY, the pc performance goes down to nil in 20 seconds, and it all goes all over the place/freezes.. Any ideas anyone. Help.
Try pedalling faster!!!! pmsl xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Help...Can anyone help. Otherwise I cant use chat rooms ideas.
i have the same prob.... main sytem killed less than 1 min, tried all updates but weird laptop runs fine.. exact same software, pulling my hair out..... rather be pulling somthing else....lol :twisted:
it's also good to defrag once a week. To do this go to My Computer, then right click on the Hard Drive, click properties and then tools. Click on defragment.
Bingo.
It'll take a while to do if you haven't done it before, but do at once a week and it'll speed up perfromance and allow the pc to run smoothly.
the same problem forever, and no none of the sugestions work, its the platform itself..wen (IF) they get the new room they say it will cure this problem, i have no problems on ANY other site, i have no virus or spyware, i have even tried it on a completly new build and its still the same......
I have to say that I experience regular problems with degradation on this site in the chatroom. I know there are 1000s of other people using the site, but every time I'm in a chatroom people comment on the slowness, disappearing emoticons, causing (what appears to be) heavy loads on the hard disk for no apparent reason.
This has been raised so many times, isn't it possible that there IS an issue at the server end? I don't get the problems all the time, but I get them often enough for it to be a pain in the proverbial.
Yes I have the latest version of flash loaded, yes I've tried IE and Firefox, yes I have AV, spyware and firewall software and have tried running it with one or all combinations disabled, no I don't have a network, yes I've tried closing down everything apart from SH chat, yes I have more than enough memory and yes my PC is defragged regularly.
I use a number of other chatrooms (not related to swinging) that are written with a variety of software, some of it flash. They offer similar (and in some cases more) facilities than on here. A simple side-by-side test of this site and comparable others show this to be lacking in its responsiveness.
I find it a little hard to believe that so many people complaining about the slowness of the chatroom on here are all simply misguided and have their PCs setup wrong.
I'm assuming Op accounts are configured like Extra accounts to allow for multiple room access. Might this also affect whether or not you are seeing the problems standard users experience?
Sorry if this sounds like I'm off on one, but I do get a little weary with so many people being told constantly that they are all wrong. I know a new version of chat is arriving soon....I just hope it performs a little better than this.
well i have probs going in the busy chat rooms as i cant type it goies so slow but i think that down to performance of my ageing pc but i have been recently getting software notices saying its going slow so i really dont know :confused:
Whoops! Sorry.....I thought I'd had a conversation some time ago when Extras first got introduced that they'd allow access to up to 3 rooms.....obviously not
:undecided:
i definatly agree that there is an issue on software resources when using the chatroom......
i am using on a athlon 2000 with 756 mb ram, which ok is not a great machine but does allow me to play some good 3d games.....
soon as i boot chatroom up it does start hogging resources.....
jsut to check i ran it at work and in a internet cafe and same issues....
i understand that flash is good but mayby admin could look at trying to stop the memory leaks in the code
