Trouble with Site Updates

Hmm... i've been having troubles since the website was updated. I'm no longer able to view people's picture slideshow things. it says i have to download the new..... ummm.... whatever program it is that it uses. but i have it already. sooo.. thats not working. and then if i click install on it anyway, my scroll bar thing on my laptop mouse no longer works on that page.

and the chat is slowing down my computer a lot. just like the new-ish facebook chat. ughh.

anyone else having these problems?

yep me too , you cannot see the chat window at the bottom of the page anymore :( you used to be able to follow the chat and read post's at the same time , when I log on to chat it opens in it's own small window in the top left of my monitor , giving me a near empty screen with nothing else in it :( then there's the lag , the lag monsta must really love this chat client cause it's there all the time now , everything else seems ok .

I have had this issue before with other such sites and things. You're gonna have to goto Adobe.com then Flash and get the flash uninstaller. After its uninstalled, return to the site an download the latest version. Hope this helps, lemme know how things work out!

I tried that, but apparently the version of flash that i have... well i need the product key to uninstall it. soooo... i cant do it because i dont have the key. i'll try some other way though.

Do you use Firefox? Because if you currently use Internet Explorer, you could install Firefox, then insall the Adobe Flash plugin for that program instead of IE. That should work, hopefully.

Though for me, I have more troubles with Firefox with chat sometimes than IE now since the update. Though, I think it might be a server issue rather than on our PC's. I've tried clearing all cookies & pages and that, and it's doesn't fix it.

More often it's just trying either the chat over a page, in a pop-out window or running it in a different program (like IE instead of FF). But there's no consistency to the solution - and right now, I've been unable to see new messages in chat for the last couple hours.

Ah, never mind - let's me write some tips here! :D

Thats good to know about the flash install issue and the lag monster.

Here are 6 other issues I've raised with the developers on this new update, which I know they are already working on some of these issues.

Comments from some of the chat users on MohawksRock.com

1) Resizing both bigger and smaller would help a lot.

2) More Smiley Options

3) Report Abuse option is gone

4) Blocking a particular user you don’t want to see their chats

5) Auto-links in the chat window

6) Copy-Paste formatting looked all jacked when I pasted the above into our chat room to make sure we had covered the main things we missed.

Feel free to leave more comments in the blog I posted about the new chat.
