I got kicked out of chat with a message that said connection aborted, please contact the webmaster. I can't get back in through the link, new chat room, and new no pop-up chat. Windows 8.1 IE

Working now.

I managed to actually get in after having it initially say I wasn't logged in when the system showed I was. So I clicked log out and pulled it back up and was able to actually to post something in the lobby. I was amazed, considering I'm using a Old HTC EVO 4G still running It's stock web browser and Android 2.2 Hardware.

Able to use chat now. But
- Unable to create a room. Every time i click on the house icon to make a room, i get the message "Your usergroup does not have the permission to use this feature"
others online were able to create rooms though.

- my username appears as SilentEfforts (without the underscore) instead of Silent_Efforts... not that i have any strong feelings towards the underscore, just informing

All special characters are removed from member's names, because the chat system doesn't support them.

Your ability to create a room will be fixed next time you login.

yeah. I got in. It is very complicated, and will take some getting used to. But change is never easy. I can understand why it is necessary and that it will be helpful in the long run.

If your Internet disconnects, it doesn't give you any notice, log you out, etc. You can post, but you can't see any replies. My Internet is horrible today, so it has happened a number of times.

Was chatting and got booted. Now I can't see what anyone else is saying. I can see them in the room, but nothing on the screen. Tried logging out and back in with no luck. Over all I like chat.

Can you add an option to change fonts, default colors to black and default font sizes to the user?

Like I prefer to have sizes and fonts to all be the same.

Is there a way to allow actions to be used? Like
"Crl88t hugged ___*

***
Can something be programmed to make the PM's more friendlier? They kind of get in the way of the chatroom and if you have multiple PM's up there is a lag to bring up chats + you're covering the main chat up.

Personally, I liked the way old PM's worked (the tabs) and I think it would be cool if you could pull PM's out of the main interface and have them as separate windows that would stay up as long as you're in the main chat. Kind of like facebook chat.

It would be nice to be able to on your own side strip formatting. OH gawd, would be lovely for my ADD. I can deal with this as it is though... Although people using extremely different size fonts bleh kinda. LOL.

The issue I think is that have a function not allowing formatting, also takes away the color of your own text. I think this does call for an "owncolor", only visible to "my" end. I think we had owncolor for the old chat, not for the whole line of text, but for the nick. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Actions can be done like /me sleeps. But as you put it, it would be nice to have it come out in italics!

I like that we can check to see who is in chat with the new chat. It was cumbersome before to have to open chat to see if a specific person was in chat. Now I can click on "Who's in chat" and know.

When I try to set up my own room ... The Pfrog Pond ... It says it's not a valid entry because there are spaces between the names ...

It seems to freeze up and boot chatters a lot and kind of leave us hanging in limbo - not knowing if we or others are still there or not ...

When that happens we have to exit and re-enter ...

Other than that, I think the new layout is pfenogulous!

1. You can use underscores to show spaces in a custom room name, I believe.

2. There's no technical reason this should happen throughout the day, but there are two times a day when the server needs to do some house-cleaning and it could happen during those times. One is around 5:00 am ET, and the other is around 3:40 am ET.

We can't do anything about the house cleaning issues, as it keeps the server healthy. But I'll see if the devs can do something more about notifying if something isn't right (it's supposed to already, but apparently it doesn't always).
