All I see in the chat window is white.
I'm on Firefox, which it has previously worked just fine on, until this issue came about around a month or two ago. I'm on Linux (Kubuntu) with nothing particularly bizarre on it. No bizarre Firefox addons, just NoScript and Adblock, neither of which seem to make a difference where chat's concerned. :\ (I thought that might be it) I seem to have Flash working just fine as Netflix has no issues. System is up-to-date. When I click on one of the room names from the "Chat" drop-down menu, the other one works fine. Oh, and I tried clearing the cache. Any ideas?  I've noticed at least one other person having issues with chat. Is there a known issue going on right now? Thanks for any replies.

There is no known issue in chat, since it hasn't been updated or in any way changed for the past 2+ years. What happens is whenever browsers or plugins update their software, the company doing the updating can make changes that impact its compatibility with older pieces of software such as our chat rooms. Often this has to do with security, but it could be cookies or some other setting that is hard to figure out what needs to be reset or changed back to the way it was.
Oh, and an update of a computer's malware or virus detection system can also cause these problems, since they aren't always accurate in terms of determining a true threat from something that is just not something a lot of their users do (use chat software that isn't on Facebook or the like). So such software might mark the chat system as a possible threat and block access to it. Unfortunately, there's no easy answer to these issues when they arise. While our intention is to change over the chat system to something that is supported moving forward, this doesn't have a definite timeline yet (hopefully by year's end is all I can say). Best, DocJohn

I cannot fully use the site through firefox. If I want to use chat or the game arcade fully without glitches, I MUST sign in on Edge.

I am having the same issue with FLash Chat on my work computer. It just shows a blank white screen and won't load. And I use Chrome.

When I got a new laptop the flash chat wasn't working for me at first (I use Chrome). I downloaded the latest flash client and that helped to fix it.

I "sort of" documented the process of getting Chat to work on Chrome in another thread. Copied and pasted below.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
