The chatroom page now only has a link to the new video flash room. Admin are intending to put a link to the original java room, but in the meantime, here it is
http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/chatroom/jpilot/chat.html mIRC users can still access the room in the way they always did
The new flash room is very different and so far today the commonest comments have been as follows:
The text is too small to read. Unfortunately there isn't a way on PCs to change the font size sad
The name list isn't in alphabetical order. It starts off alphabetical when you first sign in, but as more people enter, they just get added to the top of the list. This is obviously quite far down the list of priorities while admin are trying to sort out fundamental problems so we'll just have to live with it, at least for the time being
New features... (Not all working at the moment but will do in time as our profiles/adverts get sorted out)
You can see symbols next to people's names telling you whether they're male, female or a couple
At the top of the screen you can link directly to other users profiles, view their cam, see pics
If you find the chat is running slowly (flash does take up a lot of CPU usage) you can click on "Chat tools" and "clear chat". This gets rid of all the text in the room and speeds things up again
To send a private message, click on the name of the person you want to talk to. What you type then will only be seen by them, but please ask them first, it's only polite
To chat to the whole room again, scroll up to the top of the names list and click on "Chat to all"
To view cams click on user cams at the top of the page and then the name of the person you want to view
To send your own cam, click on the little camera icon on the left hand screen, this will ask for permission to send your video.
Please remember that this is a “Swingers Chatroom” and not a live sex room. People who are on cam don’t necessarily want to get their kit off for you so please don’t ask
And my final cut and paste that is being used more and more frequently.... Please don't endlessly complain about the changes because it's getting on my nerves. Have a nice day now smile
Hope this is of some help to you all :)
A question probably to the owners rather than our ops but is this new room going to be op'd?
At the moment it seems a manic free for all and in my short time in there saw some quite abusive behaviour rolleyes

It's not possible to Op in there at the moment I'm afraid. Any abuse can be copied and a Pm (site mail) sent to admin for them to deal with offenders. I seem to think there'll be some kind of marking system so serial offenders will find themselves on the receiving end of warnings and eventually a ban if they carry on.
Don't forget as well, with a unified log in, this will mean that anyone who consistently causes problems will actually end up banned from the whole site. Hopefully that will be enough of a deterrent dunno

Yes, it will need something built, we had a few ideas today and will be working on it.
U need to build something in very quickly !!!
I was only in for about 2 mins and had loads of whispers .......... uninvited ........ from total idiots .......
I cant believe what its like in there.......... sorry I wont be returning to the idiots room
Sam xxxxxxxxxxx
Ive just been into the new chatroom................. sad
As well as the font being wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to small - the actual size of the room seems to be half that of the original chat room
Is it possible to reinstate the individual private boxes ? The present system doesnt lend itself to holding more than one private converstion .... I could cope with 2 or 3 pvt conversations and keep an eye on the mainroom before lol
and there are no emoticons in the chatroom mad
Lucy kiss
Well i have to say.... The new chatroom is Bo***ks as far as im concerned!!!
Yes the font is to small...
Yes the room is half the size...
U can't change your name...
There is no ops...
The idiots who want to get there bits out on cam are now given a free ride to do so... I think cam stuff should be charged for... after all... if u wanna see cams... use msn!!
And has the room been joined in with another 1...coz when u go in there, its full of people i don't even know!!!! I have used this site for the last 18months... and its been brill.. Im no longer sure of it!!

Morning LiMiss, just to add a quick note, the chatroom will be part of the premium area and therefore a paid option.
Eventually there should be OPs in there, thats if any OPs are happy to continue, as it stands now, I can't see the text and Ians laptop is not able to run the flash because it uses too much resources confused
Everything else, well said girlie kiss

Ta biggrin
Thanks for the help info.
My view, too slow, too small, total lack of function. Well I wonder who worked out the risk assement of what could happen before instigation of the new changes.
It seems that this was never a thought, again boffin mania strikes lads this was a mammouth task to take on without a game plan.
What ever happend to carefull planning, why was this done as one massive change insted of slow progression one step at a time? iron out the glitches and bugs and then move on.
I can only think that the new brush sweeps clean, in with the new out with the old.
Guys sit back take five and have a rethink the customer is always right.

These changes have been throw up on us.... We have the right as members of this site to voice our opinion...
I've said mine about the changes i don't like... and no doubt... on other topic's you have!!
We all have Lilmiss, but if the people in charge really aren't listening, then repeating the same things over and over isn't going to achieve anything is it. It's always been the case that if a person said they didn't like something about how the site was run, sooner or later someone would show them the route to the door. I wouldn't be surprised if the powers that be, start to ban people who are constantly moaning. They have locked complaining threads, it's just the next step.
I don't think we have any rights, we don't pay for the service. Until we do, we can't do anything. I won't be paying.

I think it's a question of - If we want a free site then how can we make so many demands?
If Mark chose to sell who were we to protest, or question his reasons?
If we don't like what the new owners are doing, do you think they really care?
Free site = Get what You're Given. Is there a better one out there?

Well said.... And then eventually they have shown every1 the door... or others decide to leave coz of the way there friends have been treated.... and then what.... They have no site to run...
All swings in round about ways to me smile
I'm not having a dig at any1 but we do have rights... We are human... I don't see im constantly moaning... Im just voicing my opinion like everybody else...If it wasn't for us "the members" there wouldn't be a site... so it's about time We was listened too.

LM, I didn't say you were constantly moaning. Some people, however, are taking every possible opportunity to do just that. I agree, everyone has the right to voice their opinion. I think the site owners must have read those opinions by now though and are carrying on regardless with the changes they see fit to make. They should be aware that people will vote with their feet if they feel the need. However, I don't think they are too worried about losing non-paying members when they have a source of paying members whose money they will lose if they aren't valued more than the free members. Other sites exist which run on the same principle. People either get used to it or they find somewhere else that they like, as people are already doing.
I Think the idea of a cam chat room is great but not at the expense of a normal chat room
The cam chat room window is far to small no chance of following what being said
The chat room is far to memmory heavey and turns my computer to mush
no text for ages then it all comes at once
I do like some of the ideas but not all
I think they should have 2 types
Cam & meet up today chat room & regular chat room
I am not into instant meet chat rooms
i dont want to chat meet up and have sex on the same day
I like the pub type chat room where people go in and get to know each other
And still chat and be friends with people they have no intention of having sex with.

I totally agree .............. we need 2 chatrooms !
A room to organise play and a room to just have a chat !
I have tried the new SH room and I cant do it coz I am on dial up and my connection is so slow that nothing happens............... the the screen scrolls up to be filled with Whispers from people I dont know.....
I used to love going into the old room during the day for a chat but I dont like the new room at all ............... as the fem half of a couple I dont want to be pounced on the second I go in the room especially when I am on there alone and he is at work ............ the old room never made me feel like that ................. it felt like a chat with friends !
