New Chat Beta

Cannot get in chatrooms.
Showing how many in chat at top of main site, but I click to enter the chatroom, and brings up a new page but shows nothing.

Initially it looks not a lot different to the current chat, just a layout change of sorts.

My opinion but I think the Profile thumbnail in chat is a little big, the font of the chat the same, I can see members with

smaller pc screens seeing a lot less of the chat?

Keep the thumbnail of those chatting in the room the same size as those showing in the members list in the room?


There is no name via the usual tab of the room you're in after you've joined it?

I like the settings box, crisp enough, I also like that you can hide members that you've blocked, presumably

that means via both seeing their chat and in the members list.?

I much prefer the filter layout, the current chat is simply symbols that almost represent what you see on a

toilet door, the new chat does away with that by simply giving you the written equivalent.

However, retaining those symbols against a members name is ideal in the members list but is missing from the

chat itself which means you need to look to the members list and search for them to be able to see who they

are, couple/single female/male etc.

The ability to see all the rooms where photos are allowed at the click of a tab is good

There are other bits.

Browser: Safari Version 17.4.1
Screen Resolution: 2560 x 1440

Hope this helps

We welcome you to come try out the new Chat Beta. Please leave your feedback below.

Sorry, gotta ask, have you got any automated testing in place at all there? I only ask because so much of this new system seems broken it feels like it was rushed together in a weekend.

Morning so popped in and used for the first time today on mobile. Looks cleaner and crisp like the pics when u mention someone. Only issues I had were a few times I got a blue block over chat and when u view profile it opens new tabs where as before it gave u an overview that saved opening profile if they were not what you were looking for.

Chrome still blank. Safari on ipad - blank. Only way to get with Chrome is via the "chat beta" link at the top of this thread which takes you to the horrible new format. When will it be fixed?

Chrome and ipad still produce blank pages even after clearing cache on chrome. Firefox kinda works on old chat but with no cams. Edge works but why do I have to have a particular browser just to use this site?

Is chat broken again?

Where are the rooms on chat beta?

Not sure why you put a new chat in beta on here - some communication to your user base id the the bare minimum - why are you doing it what you perceive the benefits to be and a roadmap for improvements.

Your MVP was way wide of the mark - not sure who wrote your user stories or who signed off rolling out with such basic features not working. I know that you developers all say that your coding is self documenting but as a user that just doesn't wash - a user guide is essential on a public site.

Whoever is your development manager needs a quick crash course in application management and remember if you're agile then quality is "built - in"........

Failure to spend money on decent service management will cost you big bucks as your users leave in droves for a site that actually works.

Time to pop onto trust pilot and facebook to review the site there too

can't access chat at all - went down about 11pm Sunday and still can't get in 8am Monday, totally nuts and the way to loose your site members. No message on home page explaining what is happening or anything

As users seems we are not deemed worthy of consultation before major changes to see what we the user would like, just new things imposed upon us

How do we try it ?

Don’t bother! Utter drivel. Main chat still broken. Can’t access any rooms. Those that run this site are completely incompetent. No updates to say sorry, or update of the actual problem. They should be offering massive discounts and partial refunds

cams in Lagoon not loading 23/5/24 - Lagoon seems to have been disappearing a lot this week

When you look at someones profile that is on beta chatroom list it logs you straight out of main chat

I do like how I don’t loose the chat when sending a message in another app

When you click on a profile to see the person's details rather than clicking view profile which as you say takes you away from chat click their ID (in blue) at the top of the box and this will open a new window showing their profile - works on a laptop not sure about a phone. Chat is then not lost

Clicking ID (in blue) doesn’t work on iPhone any longer. It used to. Opens up a new window and throws you out of chat!

another one for the tech boys to sort out then - keeps them in a job I suppose!

Imojis dont work in private chats from incoming messages at moment i can actually see ones i send

stafford anyoie

Fine don't mind the changes but a few ux points.

1- log in box says Nick. That's a name in itself. Put nickname is that's what it is. But it's actually username as there is no where to set a nickname. Misleading / confusing

2 empty cam panel at the top. If I'm not using them that's a total waste of screen estate. Give me the choice to minimise that area.

3 the number of different colours and boxes next to a user is confusing and you haven't documented what they all mean/ signify. Standardise them

4 - When people pay multiple pics of there user name at the top of so we know where their pics start not in the middle of their run of pics. We have no idea where one user's pics start and another finishes

How are you sorting the order off the picture room list? Every time I expand the list it's in a different order. It's not alphabetical, it's not by number of users... So is it just random. Sorry it logically please. Alphabetic or by number of users and keep it the same. One for the backlog for you

Tried it, wasn't very impressed - don't think I'll go back there again

I suspect you're not going to have much choice at some point. Probably best to express your dislikes more specifically in the hope that someone might possibly be listening.

Sadly I am not sure SH seems to do logic - probably as it's too obvious!

Is this chatroom ever going to be fixed?? it is gone way beyond a joke now 😒

Site keeps crashing (Im using Chrome), but other users also saying its crashed for them too. Common comments are ' For a paid site it should be resolved more quicker than a free one. '

Might be affecting the number of users as it seems to have dropped a lot lately ?

Please get the site back to being the best out there again (including lots more genuine ladies / couples ) !
