"this is just an idea dont let users into a chat room unless they have there cams on "Why? Lots of us go into chat to chat, not show on cam or view cams. How would you feel if we suggested that all single males should only be allowed on site if they met and played with other single males? Of course not.... it's called personal choice. | |||

"I have found that audio continues even after you close down the cam you are viewing. I have to close the chatroom to get rid of it." Sounds like your version of adobe flash + or browser is out of date - this is a known flash bug. Try updating to latest versions of both, let us know Admin | |||

"I hate that you cant just have a quick overview of whos who, that a new window opens with their profile page rather then the old chat that was juat a wee summery" We're looking at how we can have a brief "info-card" type thing in chat maybe with an "i" icon next to the user that would give you this Admin x | |||

"We'll be making our new chat the "preferred" chat on the site early tomorrow morning. Old (userplane) chat will still be available from the same page. Admin x" Any plans to get rid of old chat? | |||

"Hate to say this guys, but the new chat is a miss as far as I am concerned. I had a look a long time ago, and put feedback in, but you either havent taken any notice, or perhaps are going to force it on us anyway no matter what we say? The chat window is too small by a long way, when the chat is moving along at a fair pace, its impossible to have a decent convo, unless you only post very short comments. The old chat gave you the option of minimising the section at the bottom, I know that means I cant dock cams, but if I wanted to perve loads of cams I would go and do some one handed typing in the directors room!!! A chatroom is, by definition, somewhere to chat!! The two panes on the right are a waste of space, they could be smaller.... more room for chat lol!! Its still not possible to have two people in new chat on one profile name, which is a major failing, its great to chat to both members of a cpl, we even planned to get a laptop to be able to do this ourselves, but if it goes over to beta chat altogether then that will be a big step back. The "private room" thingy is a bit of a ball ache too, when you minimise them they dissappear behind the chat window. Admittedly I havent used to new chat much, but how do you find them without minimising (and therefore losing your convos)? To be fair, the camera resolution etc is much better on the new beta, but, as I said earlier, I come into chat to chat, and whilst I do look at cams, I mainly log on to talk to friends, keep up with whats going on, and swap info, not to perve lol." This is useful feedback. We do plan to have a "no cams" entry option for those who are more interested in chat than cams, which wouldn't have the cams at the bottom, and would result in more room for chat. In the meantime, try with the SMALL CAMS option to get more room for the chat window. Regarding two people in chat. This is very unlikely to happen on new chat room. Given it's free to create accounts on Fab, if this is important we have no problems with couples registering a 2nd account. Admin | |||

Just a suggestion, and maybe you do already, but perhaps you should use the chatrooms for a bit and then compare them? As to having two accounts.... thats all well and good, but then you have two accounts to "housekeep" and sometimes its hard enough keeping up with one lol!! This is supposed to be fun, not a part-time job pmsl! | |||

"just a thought about the pm system would it be possible to get a tab bar (similar to that on browsers) so that u can see who is pming u at the top of the chat screen without having to resize the chat room itself?" Yes, it might be. We're looking at ways to tweak and improve the way PMs pop up so they don't "disappear". A tabbed browsing system is one option

" The room is stealing our punctuation! You cant get apostraphies to show lol" lol it's not what you think You don't see your own apostrophies, only But everyone else sees them We'll fix it so you see your own too

"I'm seeing a new "feature" today, where, while in chat, the whole page goes white and I'm dumped back to the list of rooms with none open. Any PM's have closed. I had it a few times this morning, but put it down to netbook but just had it on main PC. Might be down to IE7?" Yes could be IE7 try IE8 see how you get on, let us know. Or it might have been us updating the software earlier today, which would have caused similar symptoms. Either way, try IE8 anyway it's more secure. Admin | |||

"New chat was a bit slow last night as the rooms got super busy (400 in directing). We're going to tweak the servers and software over the next couple of days to iron out this and the other glitches you've been spotting. By tomorrow it's likely we'll have limits on the size of the rooms, probably at 200, same as userplane. Any busier and they're not just harder for the servers but they become a little chaotic for the users. Keep the feedback coming. Admin x" Well, had a brief chat with a few people in Welsh chat last night, and when people thought that old chat would be binned, one couple even said they would leave Fab! A lot of the Welsh crew are very happy that old chat will stay, but I guess we will eventually migrate over to beta chat when it gets better, but for the foreseeable future, you can find us in old chat, its a mini revolution... "IR GYMRU"!!!!!! | |||

" ++++++++++++++++++ Have to agree with _thwalescpl on this one, we will be sticking to the old chat for as long as is possible. Couples do regularly log in twice in the old chat rooms and use different colour text to distinguish between them. We use the chat when we are in different locations so that both of us can still message each other as well as other chat users. As for creating a seperate profile for each half of a couple, we feel that a significant amount of couples have built up their profiles over long period of time and have their user names recognised by other chat users and users of fab who do not use the chat facility. Creating specific accounts just for using the chat program un-necessarily increases the number of profiles on fab and most of them would be effectivly dummy accounts and unused. | |||

"Finding users in the room list is also slow and after a short period of time, we've found we've given up and gone back to the old style chat" Agreed 
Not sure if it's been mentioned, is it possible to click on the user's name within chat, rather than having to go through room list? | |||

"i use the SMALL CAMS option and can make the chat about half the size of the old user chat room, not bad so i can see both rooms at same time on my screen, new chat seems to be getting good, cept when a couple were on other nite same name we could all see what they were saying but they couldnt see what each other was saying does that make sense sj xxxx keep up the good work kiddies xxxx" Sounds like they both logged in under same account. This does not work on new chat Admin | |||

"so new chat for couples they have to have two separate accounts and pay two separate supporters fees is that right cos they are asking ty" At the moment the situation is if they both want to be in chat, they need two seperate accounts. There's no need to pay they can have two free accounts if they like. Admin | |||
"this chat was great when it was for verified genuine people.now its too slow full of single males with no profile pics telling everybody how to shag.pity they havnt had one there selves.no more site supporter fees from me." Noted. Bearing in mind that we can't please everyone all the time, we are certainly open to the suggestion that we could open a room just for verifieds of some criteria. This would upset those who couldn't get in. But maybe it could be read-only so they could enjoy the view. Feedback welcome

" ty i will tell em dunn why everyone still asking me tho lol xx" I suppose you could always point them to the forums where they can ask themselves. | |||
" ty i will tell em dunn why everyone still asking me tho lol xx I suppose you could always point them to the forums where they can ask themselves." We'll also add a note about this to the new chat FAQ page which is linked to on chat entry Admin x | |||

"Dont know if it me or a chat issue.... I have gold supporter and I can only dock 2 cams and view a 3rd unlike the old one where i can dock 3 and view the 4th...... Anyone else had this issue?" What happens when you try to dock a 3rd? Is there enough space on your screen? Admin | |||
| |||
now it`s open to all and sundry
masses of dick heads sending abuse to any femail or cpl in there that has a cam on
this evening with in 1hr 8 cpls said they were not renewing there site suportes as the chat was not worh it and left the room due to stupid single males sending abusive messages

"Dont know if it me or a chat issue.... I have gold supporter and I can only dock 2 cams and view a 3rd unlike the old one where i can dock 3 and view the 4th...... Anyone else had this issue?" We're silver supporter's but can only dock 1 cam, when we try to dock another cam it says "only 1 dock cam allowed" Why not suspend "non site supporter's" from beta chat? the room chat log is moving far to fast with so many user's i.e 250+ at present. Going back to old chat  | |||

"Well the new chat room hmmmm... well the only new part about it is that you have killed the site. I have watched many of my friends decide tonight not to return. The purpose of paying was to meet real people who wanted to chat and actually have a good time .. now we have a room of impolite inpatient timewasters. A supporters room was just that a room where people supported the site.. this is now dead and buried.. nice one guys needs a rapid rethink or are you actually thinking of selling site on to larger commercial company????" A little over dramatic there me thinks!!
Killed the site? I'm sure the site will survive.
I for one won't be leaving just because some people don't like the chatrooms.
As always, just my own wee opinion. | |||
| |||
"we have always liked the new chat room, tried the old one but i find rthat one too chaotic hence the reason we used new one, but now thanks to it being open it is just as chaotic as the other room, with all the single morons as well, will give it some time to see if admin work it out, so hopefullt fingers crossed" I'll kidnap ya back in there, so don't think for one second that you are escaping | |||

"Can you tell me what are the benefits of becoming a site supporter,it seems to me that as everyone are allowed in all of the rooms,when you restrict the numbers to 200 you will be getting a lot of disgruntled site supporters and the consequence of this will be non renewal!! " Here you go, as a (Gold) Site Supporter "You've got access all this Fab stuff: No more ads on site, latest photos gallery, no ads in chat, who has looked at me? page, saved messages archive (look for "save this" on messages you receive), site supporters chatroom and multiple cams in chat, increased upload allowance, viewing of larger images (where available), request a username change, and the site supporter badge on your profile." Why is everyone associating being a Site Supporter with just the chatrooms? There is a lot more to the site than that! | |||

" i think problems are going to arise when people are stopped from getting into the room cos it is full, because people enjoy the social side of it as well, and come on to catch up with friends as well as arrang meets and stuff, but as i said previoulsy will see how it goes | |||
