    As well as iOS and Android of course ;)

    With this new chat, is the block function the same, or is it that if you block somebody they can't see anything you post in chat?

    Cos I know now, if you block somebody they can still see everything you post in chat.

    We won't forget - will post it here before we go live :) Sadly it's not very exciting though, we basically just see the same as you, but just a few more options when you click on someone's name. Will deffo post it though :)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,875,648 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Awesome. Exciting stuff :hyper:

    Blocking will work the same way it does now - except it's called 'ignore' :)

  • Former MemberFormer Member Mod malarkist Deactivated Posts: 9,233 Supreme Poster

    Attachment not found.The link to chat never opened on the main page all evening?

    Sorry to be a pain :(
    It also has frozen and kicked me out a few times? I don't know whether anyone else has experienced this?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,875,648 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Yes it was open can you see in the bottom right the support chat box - you can just see a join chat button :-)

    Don't worry there is another tomorrow :-)

    Ah cheers Jazz, I think the link had changed from the night before so it wasn't where I was expecting it to be!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,875,648 The Mix Honorary Guru
    No problem :-)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,875,648 The Mix Honorary Guru
    hey mods,

    The chat snaps look great...... only I'd prefer if i could actually get into them :( I've tried all the web browsers i have on my laptop, internet explorer, chrome but it wont ever work, i've tried constantly since the new chat rooms and its becoming hard when i cant actually come into the chat room! It gets to this point and then doesnt load and I've tried refreshing and everything. The only time I've ever managed it is on my phone once but its hard to talk on my phone in ts chat when it moves quick and i cant change the settings to well therefore I find it hard to follow..... I dunno if this was right place to put this but thought its about the new chat, i dunno if im the only one with these problems either but i hope it gets sorted soon and its something silly like me not doing something so i can soon come back to chat as i miss both support and general chat!

    Thanks rosebud!

    yep i've updated it and still wont work :( Also fairly new laptop (got it December time)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Deactivated Posts: 1,706 Extreme Poster
    Hey rosebud,

    I've had a chat with our tech team, who say that it sounds like it might be something to do with your laptop and/or firewall settings.
    It might be worth checking your internet and firewall settings in the control panel.

    If there's nothing obvious there, send me a PM and we can take it further :)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,875,648 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Thanks James will check again when home I know it worked before the new chat bit and has once managed to get onto the log in bit then stopped working! Will see and hopefully it's just firewall settings! Thanksie :)
