Chat room technical difficulties

[GoldenAge50s]

We were ALWAYS able to just enter the Chat Room as long as we were logged in on the Main Board---One shouldn't have to create a new name & pw--that's crazy!

As I said I didn't really (personally) know, and you are absolutely correct. It was working fine for almost 2 yrs and then all of the sudden.....not working fine. And by working fine I mean you didn't have to have separate credentials, it was integrated and they were the same. The s/w folks (123flashchat) made a change recently and that is most likely what caused this. That chat room has it's own hosting company, separate from the board, but the login should be seamless. We have let them know and will see what they say. My apologies for the issues.

I'm guessing they changed the software or something. After I made a new user id and was able to log on I noticed they took away the button that allowed you to share pictures. That was a really cool feature since you could share a scan of a card that you had saved on your computer with everyone in the room with one click. Hopefully they can add that back.

A few other guys and I were just in the chat room. They told me they thought it was back to normal. I think the hosting company had fixed my login anyway, but let me know if it's not back to normal for anyone. Also, I hope folks will remember it's there and use it...as well as under the "community" tab at top, where photo albums and stuff are. Pictures are super easy to upload and they are permanent and free.....regards

I've been able to log in just fine today, but the insert image button under the "other functions" menu that used to allow you to post pictures saved on your computer into the chat still seems to be missing.

I just tried---Waltzed right in! No error screen--looks like it's back to normal!

Good job Leon!

I haven't used this but if it used to be there it still should? I hate it when upgrades go the wrong way . I have reported this issue. They seem to be fairly responsive albeit definitely in some other country (not that there is anything wrong with that). Will keep all informed.

I just tried to log on and not only am I getting the "wrong password" message again, it's showing four different chat rooms and they are all written in Egyptian (seriously!).
