Hi Meeko,
Thanks for the reply, appreciated.
I read the Adobe Patch Fix article (and various other Adobe-related material) but nothing online appears to offer any resolution to the issue I'm experiencing. Seems there's no quick fix on the horizon and I'm certainly not going thru the unnecessary process of rolling my system back to the previous operating system again and thereafter have to re-install a number of other things.
Chrome ain't an option for me so I'll hang around until someone offers a fix for Firefox.
Thanks again for the reply.

I'm experiencing problems viewing webcams in chat rooms and wondered if anyone else is having a similar issue.
I can view webcams but if I (right-click) zoom in on one, the chatroom / site just 'hangs'. It causes my entire browser to freeze, including all other webpages I have open and takes a long while to re-function, if at all. On occasion I have had to close my browser (cntrl, alt, del) to exit the site because of the entire webpage freezing up.
Coincidentally or not, this issue started happening after the major site upgrade. I'm using the latest version of Firefox and the latest version of Flash Player. I uninstalled Flash three times and reverted back to three previous versions just to test if Flash was the culprit yet still the issue remains. I also disabled all add-ons in Firefox to see if this changed anything. Sadly, it didn't.
Out of curiosity, I did try logging on with Internet Explorer and everything seemed fine. However, I don't use I.E, only Firefox.
I certainly have no malware or viruses on my PC, it's clean as a whistle and all my drivers are up to date.
Anyone experiencing similar problems? Is this some kind of bug that needs fixing? Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance:

To ban whispers would surely be a step backwards for this site.
Having the ability to 'whisper' someone is an excellent (and much quicker) alternative to having to 'mailbox' someone when you want a PVT conversation and are already in a chat room.
Yeah, sometimes unwanted whispers can be a pain but I reckon an outright ban would be a bad move.
I don't believe that just allowing whispers from 'friends only' is a good idea either.
Quite a few of my existing close friends on this site only became my friends after (politely) whispering me in chatrooms.
I'd prefer to keep them as they are. I can cope with a few unwanted ones from time to time.
The pros FAR outweigh the cons (imo).

Yup, seems like things are down for me too.
Each time I try going it to chat, it won't connect. I also keep getting a '502 Bad Gateway' message when I click on every page - have to keep refreshing it to make it work.
I'm sure all will be fixed soon (he said with fingers crossed lol).
Good luck, guys

I guess *some* people will always be curious / nosey when it comes to wanting to know what is going on in a private room.
Temptation often gets the better of people, particularly depending on what the title of the private room is (and let's face it, there are some interesting private room names - including some that I've made myself lol).
I agree, at the end of the day, a private room is supposed to be just that 'a private room'.
Using your username or any other easy to guess word/s really is just asking for intrusion (as with any password protected internet submission, i.e internet banking, website passwords, facebook etc etc).
If you wanna keep room hijackers out, make a difficult password - simples :idea:

"I've got nothing else running". Well ok, I've got my email package, MSN, , I'm burning cd's, listening to boom boom fm online and oh yes, my mother is upstairs and connect to the internet via my computer so she can play bingo all night....
LOL...
Most of the time, I don't have anything else running lol, but on the occasions when I do, they all freeze as well once I enter the chat room (or at least once Ive been in a while).
The main mystery is why this only EVER happens when I am in a Swinging Heaven chat room and absolutely nowhere else whatsoever.
Thanks for the info anyway Ian, much appreciated - even though I'm still none the wiser lol. I'll have another peek around my PC and recheck everything....again lol.
Cheers: :thumbup:

I posted a thread yesterday regarding the chat room freezing (but NOT kicking me out ) and was redirected to this thread by Sgt Bilko.
Not sure why that was, as my problem is entirely different to the ones stated in this thread lol, but, seeing as I was redirected here anyway, here's the original thread I posted:
Dunno if anyone's having a similar experience or whether any 'techies' know of any reason why this may be happening but :-
For months now, every time I log into any chat rooms on here, after a few minutes of being in the room, everything freezes, which in turn makes my mouse and all other running programs freeze up also.
Things resume back to normal after about a minute or so but then it happens repeatedly until I log out and log back on....then it just keeps happening.
I'm sure it's not a technical hitch with this site as I've not come across anyone else having the same problem and I'm sure it's most definitely something to do with my PC but it's odd that it only ever happens when I'm in a swinging heaven chat room yet not when I'm on any other sites / chatrooms at all.
I have the latest Flash installed and have uninstalled and reinstalled it many times but still it keeps doing the same thing.
Does anyone have any (sensible) ideas as to why this may be occuring? It's really getting on my nerves now!
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Hi Trev / Ju,
Posh and Becks were gonna come but it looks like they're cat-sitting for me now instead, so I'm gonna be representing them in their absence.
They do however wish to make it very clear that if any randy males at the munch are wanting fun then they should see me for a session and I will gladly report back to the Beckhams the next morning over breakfast how the evening went.
Many thanks in advance for the addition.
Cheers
