hi there this is the first time i've actually posted anything so here it goes, I've been trying to use the chatroom and everytime i do im told that my flash player is out of date. ive downloaded the new one and the same thing keeps happening has anyone got any ideas.
cheers Rick
If you are seeing this message: "Chatroom not loading? your version of flash player probably needs updating. click here to do so" then don't worry, everybody gets that all the time (It's usual to do a version check in the flash file itself, and less confusing for users, but that's the way the new site does it)
Wait a few moments and the chatroom will load underneath that message, in all it's glory *cough cough*
The chatroom is suffering from overload
My guess is that the new owners are laughing all the way to the bank
It seems that the spec of yr pc will dictate how slow the chatroom responds and even if you can or can't get on it, often it takes ages to load so try being patient
If you right click when the mouse is in the black area and change the quality tab to medium or low it will speed it up a little and not affect the cam pic much
Also click chat tools and clear the chat regularly, this will also help speed it up
Lastly the quallity of the pics seems to be dependent on the cam, some are good and some not so, some load quickly and others slowly or not at all
Hope this makes sense and helps some people
I for one can't stand the new chatroom because it runs so slow. It is however on the other hand a lot better because there seem to be a lot more people enjoying each others company which can only be good for the whole. More people who talk, the more who can start having fun and the circle can grow.
However on a personl view, i will keep going back to see if things improve and see if it gets quicker.
Undecided.
im having probs with chat room running soooooo slow the annoying thing is if was working properly (which i dont think it is ) it would be a great addition to s/h but like a few other will pop in now and then to se if improves if not will stay away
