Only Vote If You Have Been In The Chat Room

 

I am just curious as to the actual percentage of individuals having an issue with the chat room freezing.

 

Options:

 

1) Never had an issue.

2) Few times a week.

3) Few times a day.

4) Throughout the day. (possibly unusable).

1) Never had an issue.

5 Lock-ups yesterday. None today.

 

But still not possible to upload an image. Charts don't show up.

Yes, it does seem like firefox is better at handling the connection issues. It appears that at times the browser looses connection with the database. Every so often when I try to reload/refresh after it freezes it doesn't even let me on the main TL website for 30 seconds or so. Also, I know that there is an bug where after awhile you have to sign out and back in to view the history or upload files. Of course this isn't really a big deal. However, I really do like this chat program. It's very clean and simple...to the point and has pretty much everything you need. I just wanted to throw the question up because I know of at least three individuals that couldn't stay in the room specifically because of freezing issues.

Firefox people may want to play with the Fasterfox 2.0.0 Add-on. It's made a huge difference in response time for me.

The add-on DbPhoenix is talking about can be downloaded HERE. I will go ahead and give it a try. Thanks for suggestion.

yes. but the market is out to get me so i presume the chat room software too. :doh:

If need be, the regulars may want to consider something else - perhaps PalTalk like used in other chats.

You might also be interested in the Flashblock Add-on. Changed my life.

 

Then of course there's Adblock Plus.....

To add to the list: Privoxy, not an add-on, but a plug-in basically. The downside is I miss out on all the free viagra... :o

Exactly my experience.

Using I.E.

I only went on today, but it was almost unusable.

When things slow down or seem to lock-up I often get this message at the bottom of the room:

 

" XMLHTTPRequest sent. Waiting for response... Click here to reload"

[brownsfan019 17]

It can definitely hang, but in my experience, you just have to wait a few seconds for it to catch up.

The few times last week that I have logged in, my text chat did not send through in the room. Paltalk is a good alternate but if you guys would like to do chartshare or upload charts in the room, may I suggest a free community room at http://www.tradingrooms.com. Private and passworded room is also available if that is preferred.

It doesn't always catch up with me using Firefox. Today what i did was use 2 tabs, one with the room and one with TL home page. When the room froze I'd go to the home tab and reenter the room from the top.

[nasdaq.nyse.day.trader 10]

9 out of 15 voters have problems

At least it's not just me

Hi ztrader,

 

Tradingrooms is not an option at the moment. We had it in the past but it is way too buggy to even use it. Im scheduling an update of the forum system shortly so lets see if that fixes it first. Thanks.

[firewalker 10]

Don't know if this is related... but I'm having similar issues with loading the site itself. It doesn't lock up, but sometimes when I refresh or click another link, I get a time-out. If I click again the page loads fine. It happens to be once every hour or so (if I'm actively surfing the site).

Never had an issue. Reasonably frequent user also. Using Firefox. Seems that most/all of the people having issues are using I.E.

No, I'm using Firefox. Had the same issue on two different computers though.

an update: :thumbs up:

 

i was having huge problems accessing the site. y'day morning i reformatted my harddrive and reinstalled the OS. now its working like there never was a problem.

 

whilst others may find this approach a bit drastic i found this always fixes any problems i'm having with my pc. that being said i have this process down to about 2.5hours from start to finish. just searching and running scans normally costs minimal 2hours so for me its a effiecient solution.

 

like in trading, moving out of your comfort zone may/can produce an improvement in results.

 

cheers, mong.:missy:
