Upgrading Chat Room...

[GreyGoose]

Greetings

The chat room will be going through a major upgrade today and may periodically be non-functional or even down altogether. The upgrade is expected to take from one hour to several hours (providing no problems are encountered). Thank you for your patience during this time .

- Regards, GreyGoose

Greetings again...

Sorry to disappoint but unfortunately the chat room upgrade (from v4.9 to v5.7) encountered a number of problems and simply would not work after installation. v4.12 was available, however, this was mainly a CMS integration release with no really new features and since Anxiety Zone doesn't use a CMS, there was no point in upgrading to that particular version. Again, my apologies for the down-time and lack of a working upgrade.

On a brighter note, the forum and blogging system have both been fully upgraded (yesterday) and a patch for the gallery installed to correct a bug.

The original chat room should be working now.

Unfortunetly It would let me in no matter what I do........I know Laa was able to get in.....I wonder how many others are having a problem?

Hi Tigerpaw

I sent you a second PM earlier with the updated information. Please let me know if you experience any problems with the new chat. I'm planning on posting an announcement or modifying this one shortly.

I can not get into chat HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Grey,

Since I can only send one personal message per hour, I figured I'd respond to you here. I closed the PM box out, and even logged back in, and still no dice. I tried it on a different computer as well, but the problem persists. Not sure if that helps you out any, but that's the best I've got.

Thanks!

Hi mommy_2_4_babies

The chat rooms have undergone a MAJOR upgrade today and require registration to access. Are you able to click on the "Register" link at the top of the "Chatting Now..." window?. If you are unable to register at all, please let me know as I am still working non-stop on this in an attempt to iron out all the problems.

Hi Forrester

I've just bumped the PM limit up as per this latest announcement...

As far as this issue is concerned, I'm going to have to look into it over at their forum (FlashChat) and also spend some time in the control panel. This is a much newer version and it will take time to iron out all of the kinks (hopefully soon).

At this point there are two options: Either (1) go back to the old chat room -or- (2) continue working out the issues on the new one. If we do the latter, it won't be quick and it won't be easy and it will require patience and may not work at all but in the end, if it does work, it will have been well worth the wait.

This is just one of those unfortunate situations that requires a lot of tweaking and ironing out kinks and with no feasible way to provide a temporary chat room until the new one is finished, I really don't see any other choice at this point and it would be sad to just give up and take the easy way out by going back to what was a very old and out of date version of the chat software.

Thanks to all of you for your patience as I try my level best to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible.

As much as it will be hard to wait for the glitches to be fixed, I vote for the new room! I think it is needed and will be better than before!!! Thanks for all your work!  laa

[Noahs Mom]

I agree, New room!

Thank you for your time and dedication to the site!

Greetings everyone

Well, I was up with this until 2:00AM. Exhausted and with my eyes practically bugging out of their sockets, I had to break away from it and catch some shut-eye.

This morning, after a number of installs and banging my delicate little head into the wall a few times, I believe the new chat rooms are finally ready for showtime.

Of course, they could go down in a heap at any moment or they could function perfectly forever. For now, everything *seems* to work very well. If there are any problems using the chat rooms, please let me know and I will try to resolve them but for now, we will all just have to wait and see how this goes .

Greetings...

The chat room is experiencing the same problem as before (huge send/input window). I am installing a different version which is listed as the "last stable version before v5.0.8". It's still very new and has practically all of the same features, etc as v5.0.8 but (hopefully) without any of the problems.

[GreyGoose]

Done!.

A number of errors and bugs I encountered while installing (and using) the other chat software were not present in this latest installation so everything should be ok now.

ENJOY
