Would you pay for half a service on any other site?
No you wouldnt but since last year we have been told this new beta chat will take some setting up and old chat will return to normal service NOT
Be patient be patient well patience has run out!
Since September we have been lucky to get on majority of the time, esp in evenings. We work during the day when site is prob less busy. We get messages from friends that we have made online asking where we been? are we still alive? have we left the site?
Time to sort it out SH coz we for one cpl wont be paying for another years subscriptiion when we dont get full service!
Would you pay for a train fare when you know it will only take you half there?????? mad :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x
and seeing as I can read the forums every time i log in I know we are not the only ones who think this
am sure this will be closed very quickly as usual ( I have no beef with the ops btw)

You are quite right its pretty attrocious that you have to try and try to access the chatrooms.
It is just luck if you happen to try and enter the chat room and a space is free.
I doubt we will be renewing our membership if this situation continues.

We agree Angel n H and we have, as you have raised a complaint to the same,see below:
I know maintenance of the site is necessary but over the lost 6 months its seems to have been a permanent occurrance. It seems it is now not possible to enter server 1 immediately. After logging on as you know we are sent to the first avaialable server, which is either 2 or 3, on requesting move to server 1 via take me to button, a window appears saying server 1 is full try again later, this is bunkom server 1 is never full, it takes a while and a lot of moving between servers to acquire access to server 1.
Also profiles have not been avaialble for some time, when clicking onto member and requesting to view profiles all that comes up is the sign in page, once again we need to sign in, wven though already on the site, to gain access to any form of profiles.
over the last 10 days it has even been the case that the site has not been recognise, it seems it does not exist.
I do understand that maintenance is required but it is now infringing on my enjoyment and also on the contract in which I entered into with you when I paid to join the site.
In view of the many distruptions that I have had to endure over the last year, for which you accepted my subscription of £50 as aforementioned, I would expect nothing less than a part refund of subscriptions, or a free upgrade in way of an apology. confused:
This being the reply :- The data base has been moved onto 2 new servers using a more stable configuration this evening, it will need a little fine tuning but it should resolve the recent problems that we were having. mad :x :x :x
So yes we totally agree why should we pay for half a service
We have no beef with ops either biggrin

Here here guys!! I must admit i have been quite lucky to get in recently but the servers do keep crashing and rooms or room lists disappear!!
I think after months and months of testing surely we should have an accessible chatroom by now???!!!
Fewer and fewer folk are gonna renew their membership if this problem isnt rectified soon!

As per your last trouble ticket, the flash tests were not all successful, which indicates that a firewall on your pc is causing problems.

and thank you for throwing all you fellow swingers who use the forums more than the chatrooms "under the bus" so to speak........thanks for being really condesending, if that is the attitude then we are not one big family.. as i saw at a munch on saturday night!!! shame but there we go
yes there have been problems... heck we all deal with them..... yes we all get frustrated from time to time... but like it has been mentioned there are other parts of the site for you to use.... yes we all get the "server full" message from time to time, but is that really an excuse to throw a paddy.......... do you think they are doing on purpose just to get your back up?????? seriously....think about all the man hours they have probably spent on this project... and the amount of times they have beta tested the new room...
do you ever look at the glass as being half full.... or is it always half empty with you.... and seeing that you only actually tend to use "us forums" when you are complaining... i wonder what impression others have of you........
oh... by the way... look forward to meeting you at a munch someday.......

Thats the test link, if you could pop the results on a ticket one of the dev guys will take a look, mostly there can be issues with firewall settings and in one case everything worked ok after rebooting their router, with a bit of dialogue we can normally sort things.

RTMP 80 TimeOut

this is the failure that is causing the problem.
When I run the test I get success on every test. (And I'm not having problems with chat).
Various computers, different spec of machine, different operating systems. All running up to date antivirus and firewalls.
Router has firewall built in also.
BTopenworld. 8mb adsl connection.

Something is happening client side, as I'm not an expert on this the best I can do is add a link to this thread from your last support ticket so that one of the other guys can go over possible causes when the office is open.

Well, if you read the notes on the macromedia site you would have seen this note:-
Quote by Flash Media Server TechNote
You may be behind a "stateful inspection" firewall. These firewalls will drop socket connections if they detect non-HTTP traffic such as the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) traffic used by the Flash Communication Server. For more information on firewalls see Ports, Firewalls, and Macromedia Flash Communication Server (TechNote tn_16499).
You are using a proxy server to connect to the Internet. Most proxy servers only negotiate HTTP traffic. For this reason, attempts to connect to the Macromedia Flash Communication Server using RTMP through a proxy server fail.
Macromedia is working to resolve this issue and is interested in any data you can provide regarding your proxy server, firewall, and browser. If the test movie above fails on certain ports, an email window will be opened containing several questions. Answering these questions will help us better test our upcoming solutions. You may also provide contact information for yourself or someone in your IT department if you would like to participate in upcoming solutions we are testing.

As has been stated over and over and over again, SH cannot be responsible for individuals PC set-up and compatability issues, nor the use of blocking software such as firewalls, proxy blockers etc. nor the performance of your ISP.
These are issue YOU need to resolve, either in setting up your pc to work with the site, or speaking to your ISP to allow the port access - proxy servers are shite at the best of times, and often block bone-fide traffic, and ISP's are notorious for blocking access, especilly Arseholes On Line

Dear Angel....
At what point did i say that the same things were not happening to all of us???????
and an what point am i not working hard for my money... after all i have a mortgage that is rising by the months it seems and bills to pay.... i would love to sit on my arse all day and do nowt... but until i win the lottery that isn't going to happen......
you wrote this bit "i cant get into chat ( to erm chat and poss meet swingers that i would like to have fun, we perefer to chat with folk before we meet otherwise we could just goto a bar and hook up with strangers but that is not our preference, and yes our choice"
and at what point did i say i didn't..... in fact i am the room you normally frequent (the scottish room) as well as the other northern rooms... the north west, the north east, the yorkshire rooms... also the black on white rooms.... i have made loads of friends in them..... i have been to loads of socials in connection with these rooms........ so please don't assume anything about me.... and i won't do the same about you.......
the point i am trying to make is this.......if this is your way of dealing with frustration then in the end you will end up doing damage to yourself......life is too short... and if you are worrying about the small things like this (and in the grander scheme of life then it is)... then the big things will make you explode....
of course you are allowed an opinion...... if this is the way you decide to make your point then good for you... but i would say they there are probably better ways of making that point that in "big red size 24 writing"

I may be wrong but in another thread a few people having the same problem are also using Tiscali confused Seems to be a bit more than coincidence...
It's in the Help thread biggrin
