Page freeze in chat

19 May 2009

Hi,
Wondering if someone can help, I have no probs entering chat, however after a short period of time (anything from 30 secs to 5 mins) the page freezes
You dont even notice anything has happened, it is just as if people have gone quiet and the flow of chat has stopped.
The emoticons still roll around, my cursor moves, I can check out profiles etc, at first I thought it was lag, then I realised I couldnt change from online to busy/idle etc and if i typed and pressed enter then nothing appeared.
To resolve this I simply change to another room on the same server and back to the original room, trouble is by the time I have said "Hello" again, I am back to square one and frozen again.
If I do pop a cam on wether my own or another users then I am guaranted it will freeze in seconds.
I have the latest version of flash, have no other programs opened I have changed to IE 8 & installed service pack 3 (I'm using XP)
I have deleted temp/cookies etc
cleaned up, defraged etc
The only thing I can think of is wireless internet (I am using 3)
I have absolutely no other problems on this site or any others.
Thanks In Advance

I have raised this issue before in a room with an op, only to be basically told it was because I was running Xp. However I never had problems before they changed to multi cam options.
To be honest it seems to be getting worse by the week too.
Hope someone has a cure for it as its starting to get very annoying now....Please HELLLLPPPPP!!!!!!

I think many of us are having the same experience 4wheeldrive. It's been like this for weeks now, and it's the only site where I have this experience.
It's also very interesting what you've said annie_19704, because I'd wondered the same thing since the timescale is about the same. And I don't think it's anything to do with XP, because I know someone who's using Vista (yeah ok, no laughing at the back!)
However I use a Mac, so what does that say? Three different operating systems, and two different platforms?
It is getting irritating though as it seems to be getting worse.
