Chat takes a really long time to load....
I've been having trouble getting into CHAT the past week. I enter the same way as always. Then, I wait, and I wait. Eventually I just log off.
Someone else told me they're having the same problem.
Can you help?

Get This Fixed!
Get this fixed or drop chat...
It's taking forever to load, & now we're getting knocked off. Then when we try to get back on we can't
Fix chat - this is nuts, and it's 1-thing for long-timers who might try to come back, but for newcombers they'll say sayanora. Think about that.
Cheers. Sharon
Edited to fix type size (I hope).

Seems like a little patience while we try to get help from the developers to figure out what is happening would be helpful.

We are having a difficult time finding out what is happening with the chat. It seems to us that logging in takes an unacceptably long period of time, although we do get in eventually.
The developers have looked at the chat and tell us that the connect time is well within their parameters for access.
And that is where we are right now.

No, I don't want you to drop chat. I was frustrated that night - and I didn't really mean the typeface to be so big either when I posted that. Actually still a bit frustrated as it takes a while to load, but appreciate you guys checking into it. Cheers.

Update
Last night around 11:30 or so, Chat seemed to freeze on most everyone ... my PC required a reboot, not sure about anyone else. The problem is more than the slow load, if that's what the vendor is claiming ... good luck on the research.

1.25 minutes to log in to chat
It still is taking quite a while to log in to chat...at 1 minute 15 seconds tonight was better than last night, but still much slower than it has been in the past.
I've also noted than around 11:30 PM Pacific that things just start to crawl with chat messages taking a long time...not sure what's up, but this is a consistent problem at this time of the evening (regardless of how busy chat is).
Thanks for taking a look.

We're still also having the problem that if we get booted out of chat, we can't log back in for a period of time. Our identities remain there while we can't get back in. Thanks for your help.

Randy might mail you back your subscription check Sharon.
Heck "a few minutes" is all they promise - right up front. Just popped in there - first time for ages and took 30 seconds to get in FWIW. Did a bit of chatting and did not get booted off, so maybe it has now stabilised?

Logging into the chat... this may take a few minutes...
Once the Java applet has loaded on your computer, give it a minute to log you in. Once inside, you can customize your icon and chat profile by clicking on the Settings button...
