We need to dump Flashchat ASAP

[slidekellyslide]

Maybe I'm out of line because I dont' use the chat feature of Net54baseball, but for the past two weeks this forum has been slowed to a crawl at times by Flashchat and it's beyond annoying at this point. Who really needs a chat room when you can just as easily use the forums for discussion?

I would hate to see chat go. I don't use it much, but it's good on certain auction nights. BTW, I haven't noticed it slowed to a crawl - at least not in the last 10 days or so, although I am probably not here as much as you [Dan].

Dan - we were having some serious issues the past 2-3 weeks (there were a few threads) but they have been resolved as far as I can tell as of mid-last week. What issues are you still seeing? Is anyone else still having issues with the chat?

thanks!

Earlier today when trying to read and post the forum was hanging for more than a mintue..sometimes longer. I can see at the bottom of the screen it's trying to load the Chat feature. This has been happening intermittently for the past two weeks at least.

I am very much in agreement that if it becomes a problem again we need to do something differently. I don't know what but something. Knock on wood but in the last several days I haven't had an issue. I just went in there to look around, and except for it changing it's look a little bit I don't see any problems. Anyone else have the forum hanging up on them the last few days? If so, could you tell if it was the flashchat stuff causing it? I think that if it can stay working it is definitely better to have it than not. Come the big auction nights it's a blast. regards

Today I'm finding that it's taking a lot longer to upload threads than usual.

It's happening to me a bit as well but it seems as if once I'm through the door and have the page open to Net54 board, then I can move around freely. It only seems to be when first entering the site. A refresh seems to help a bit as well.

Here is the message from the browser:

"Waiting for host718.123flashchat.com..."


edited to add: when i hit "save" for this message it hung up for a minute or so as well.

Seems to really be slowing things right now.

Isn't there a way to put the Chat section on an entirely different page of the site, rather then having it load with every page?

If we get rid of flashchat how will I be able to find out where to get my camel serviced?
