Does anyone else have the problem of everything looking like an arabic language in the chat room? I use to be able to use it fine and it started doing this awhile back and makes it unusable for me...

    I use IE8 and it works fine too.  I just got automatic update for flash, chat worked both before and after the update.

    I have this problem too. I believe mine started when I reinstalled VMware player on the same machine. VMware is known to mess with fonts. Chat works fine on all my other machines with similar set-ups less VMware.

    Why has my photo been approved, but i can't get on chat.  Furthermore, my photo does not show in any group I am in (as of the last time i was in them) plus when I go to update my pictures, they are not there and it still says my profile is locked.  I have also noticed that when I go to update my photos the number of visitors to my profile changes as does the number of friends I have.  I also still cannot get to my messages and friend requests from the news bulletins.  I have to go into my email and get to them from the message that is sent to me.  Plus if I update my profile and then go back to update it again the other changes are gone.  Can someone tell me if there is a glitch to this site.  Because I am not exactly happy. (Sorry to ramble a little)

    [quote]"Does anyone else have the problem of everything looking like an arabic language in the chat room?"[/quote] Ya this is the same problem I have been putging up with. if you click on the history button (top right) a window opens and is readable but you have to keep opening a new widow to see whats going on. I started a dif. thread a couples days back about this same problem. I am using firefox 3.5.9 and think it has flash 10. something installed. other chat sites work fine.

    Well I have tried doing some upgrades and updates. I now have the problem narrowed down to Flash plugin. Fire Fox says it needs to be installed and the computer says it is installed. Now its just a matter of getting them both to agree on which it is.

[/quote] I appreciate the attempt to help, but that's not the case. I am pretty computer literate - started in the early 90s to be online. I click once only. In fact, I clicked went into the kitchen to get a glass of water and came back; nothing happened. BTW, please call me Cheri. Donna is my middle name and that'll be less typing for you.

    Well I got my problem fixed finally (about time) it was related to Flash and Java. Go to Adobe Flash update page and run the upgrade option, It will automatically put in the correct fixes for your system. I am running Ubuntu with Fire Fox but it will fix Windows and Mac also.

    Cheri I think this is what you need also.
    Good luck Everyone

    I hope someone can explain what this means. If it's been answered elsewhere I'm sorry I couldnt find it.  When I try and log into chat, after I click that I agree to terms the chat appears to load, but then I get a popup saying "Over max sessions, please try again later". I just assume this means since I am not a paying member of the site I have used all my time. Is this correct? Is there a limit, and how long will I not have access? Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.  [/quote]    Hi Willie, No, there is no time limit if you are a non-paying member.  That message should really only happen if the rooms are full.  But as there can be a max of 200 people per room, I doubt that's the reason this time. the rough average number in each room is about 75 in the lounge and 15 in the certified room. I've never seen either room "max" out.   That message may also appear if site admin is working on the room or if there is some sort of technical glitch.  Best you can do is "try again later".   Jen
