How cool is the new chatroom just been in for a quick look it was great easy to use but not many people in but sure it wil be a big hit. You can limit it to couple /singles or just females and pick to just let people in who have a cam which seems a good idea as more people will put there cams on
I'm getting the same message. I don't want to seem ungrateful, but after so many months of development time beyond the original promises, you'd think that the number 1 most complained about bug in the old software wouldn't be present in the new version!
The really sad thing is that this is so incredibly easy to fix! All that needs to be done is to kick the old 'ghost' login when a new one is connected rather than show this useless and frustrating message.
If SH is paying external developers for this software, then I'd seriously consider withholding the cash until basic bugfixes are complete.
Hopefully when the new chat room is up and running, it will not be hit with the same problems, the old chat rooms have suffered from.
Our concern is that the problems on the current chat servers, have been ongoing now for as long as we can remember, and cannot see things changing when the new one is up and running. We do hope so though, as the chat rooms are fun and bring a lot of enjoyment to people. Here's to keeping our fingers crossed for the new chat rooms.
These kinds of things are really hard to get right straight away. It's almost impossible to do any "real life" stress testing of an application unless you have huge amounts of resources available. Mass replication of actual user activity is particularly hard to automate.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if it takes some time to iron out all the wrinkles.
PS - I don't work here or anything!
But I didn't even get the chance to log in! I was already "there" and I have never logged in ever before! oh well its working ok now. Hope to have a better look later.
Cams have been disabled in Beta Chat in order to sort out some issues, there's a bit of recoding to be done and unfortunately unless its under load there's no real way of spotting the problems which is why its open for use at the moment.
Still unable to get in new room just getting a grey screen today. Did I upset someone im a former life?
:smile2:
Well just spent 10 minutes on it, and it looks pretty sexy.......... obviously speed and cams need sorting, but it looks ok
Slow doesn't come close, have to say though the old chat room wins hands down for me, the new one is colourful but its also more difficult to navigate in, how do you whisper to someone? and why is'nt there a chat to all button? moving rooms in the old room is a chore, im not impressed tbh a new skin on the old chat with a few extra buttons would have been sufficient and saved money.
