Hi folks,

Tomorrow morning (Wednesday), we're going to go ahead and do an update to the latest chat version for the chat software. This will fix a few issues and provide some additional features we'll explore using.

I expect the chat downtime to be minimal (under 5 minutes), but wanted to give you a heads-up about it nonetheless. We'll be doing the work around 8 am ET.

Best,
DocJohn

This is all set.

NEW FEATURES

FreudBot is a new bot feature that can give you the weather (by typing: weather your-nearest-city), a joke (type: joke), or define a word (type: define whatever-word).

You also have trivia quizzes you can access through the settings menu.

Also some new stickers and what-not.

I get the same error. I presume they are working on it.

I'm not sure if you've had time to actually look at the jokes the the bot tells, but they're in pretty poor taste. Blond jokes are not funny. Most of the jokes so far seem to be pointed at disparaging one whole group of people or another. And the last one I saw was about someone sticking fruit up their butt. I'm just waiting for it to make a joke about mental illness.

OH wait, it just did: A man walks into a dentist‘s and says, "Can you help me? I think I‘m a moth." The dentist says, "You need a psychiatrist, mate." The man says, "Yes, I know." The dentist replies, "Well, why have you come in here?" "Your light was on!" 🤣🤣🤣 found in Medical

I agree that most of the jokes paint women in a negative light.

Can you load prescreened jokes and replace the defaults? If not deactivating jokes might be the best thing.

I'm a big fan of puns. Maybe there's a parameter setting that limits what kind?

Not to belabor the point, but in case you need more examples, this gem just came into chat: What‘s the difference between a Mexican and a Bench? A bench can support a whole family. 🤣🤣🤣 found in OneLiners

There are thousands of jokes in the database; there's no way to go through them one-by-one to approve them or not.

This is an either on or off feature. If people are offended by it, I will turn it off.

If we can keep it, I'd prefer to. Freudbot is a good feature, helps keep conversation moving.

It seems like most people really enjoy the feature and it does keep chat moving

FreudBot will stay, but one of its features, "jokes," has been turned off.

Is there any way you can fix the sound for private messages in chat? The sound isn't working even when I have it set to.

Thank you

Question ...

Is there a way to pfix chat where if we are inactive for over 30 minutes that it will automatically kick us and make us have to actively access chat again?

It's disappointing (especially when needing support) to see there are people present but when you go in there they actually aren't there but pforgot to sign off.

It's also quite annoying while trying to actively participate & their icons (the ones that didn't properly sign off) are constantly pflashing on and off while making an audible alarm every dang time and they aren't really even there!

Thank you,
Pflower!

As far as the alarm, you can turn that off in your settings. @Pflower, feel free to PM if you need support and no one is online. I check messages pretty frequently even though I sometimes get lost in another window while I'm in chat.
