Chatroom Changes

Taffy, flashchat is known for some security issues so keep it updated. :)

Yeah, had some problems back last year with it. I've stripped it bare and locked it down now!

Sounds serious.

Aside from this, I'm having problems with my personal smileys being defunct in the last day or two. Not sure if my Smileypad is down or there's some other problem going on. Seems I can only use smileys I've saved in Photobucket but not the others unless they're all disappearing once I've posted them. All the smileys are kept on Smileypad so I don't know why only the Photobucket ones are working unless it's something wrong at my end and I just can't see them. Those who know me well, will understand what a catastrophe this is.

I'm spending half my time editing out little red crosses like this.

I have a suggestion RE Chat room.

I log into the chatroom everytime I log onto the forum but no-one ever seems to join me even when the forum is busy.

Now either people don't want to talk to me or they don't realise there is someone in there.

My suggestion is that maybe you could make people more aware of when the chatroom is in use too encourage others to join in. Maybe a little notice pops up or the link at the top could be more noticble.

Just a suggestiona dn hope you don't mind me making one taffy.

I've been trying to get in to chat to you today but my Net connection keeps dropping out. It's been pretty dire for the last few days at certain times. There's 2 of us in there now, but unfortunately you've logged off. I couldn't get my connection fired up again in time to catch you.

I don't think it's that no one wants to speak to you, more that they have enough time to read or post on the forum but not enough to stay and chat. Especially if they're in work at the time, it's more difficult to deal with a chat situation than just having a sly peek at the forum when the boss isn't around. Chatting from work is more awkward as well because, if you're trying to work at the same time and don't have or can't have the sound on, you wouldn't necessarily know when someone has sent a message.

Dawn was always a great one for chat, but, of course, she's busy downunder now, getting her new life kick-started.

That chatroom's always been a funny one. I think people are so used to it being empty that they don't check it, and others will only be ducking in to check on the latest happenings.

It was suggested a while ago that there should be a regular date/time thing arranged for chatting, but I can't recall whatever happened to that! Perhaps that should be investigated further?

I feel a poll coming on....

Ummm that could be nasty. Get WG to check for spots between your cheeks and down the bridge of your nose. If she finds any she should treat them liberally with scorn. If she doesn't have enough, ring me and I will come with back up

Scorn?? I don't know the meaning of the word
