We all know what I mean. The 6 of us that were in there tonight will be witness to it! The many of us that have suffered it on other evenings will know how frustrating it is! THE CHAT ROOM ALWAYS CRASHES AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!! Why? We're all happily chatting and BANG. It gets you. Everyone freezes and you can't get back in. Tonight it was very evil indeed. We gave it a 5 minute countdown.... Then it struck midnight and nothing happened. We rejoiced. We thought you'd paid the bill... Then, mid way through our debate about the GDP and it's impact on EU stability... At 00:03 hours....it got us. Nasty, evil, sadistic and positively murderous!!! Can it be resolved? -------------

I hope so. We had a good banter going on about socioeconomic stability
of outer mesopotamia and the effect on other cultures. I found it most
educational. Seriously though, it does seem to crash every night like the proverbial clockwork. Anyone any ideas? ------------- 1987 BMW 525e Lux Auto (sadly deceased) http://www.getfirefox.com - Get Firefox - Ditch Hopeless Inertnet Exploder http://www.doive.co.uk - www.doive.co.uk

No idea, but would be interseting to find out why it does it. I think its a beta version (so has bugs), but don't quote me on that.  ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped.. No BMW as yet... |

I suspect a hosting server backing up that interferes with the chat client in some way...... -------------

It's just rubbish guys, its as simple as that ... best sticking to MSN for the tried and not so necesarily "trusted" chat room experience. In your profile there is a field for you to put your MSN / Yahoo user ID's in so people can "buddy" eachother. Got to remember this place is FREE and done voluntarily ... so nobody should expect 100% reliability, plus as mentioned it's a BETA and sepearate resource written by ConquerChat. Try getting on Halifax online banking late on a Sunday .. not a hope in hell. -------------

I am actually trying to find a decent chat application either in Java or Flash which will replace the current one. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

All sounds very intellectual! Are you sure you weren't really talking about who you liked most Michelle Marsh or Kelly Brook My big problem with the chat room, and the reason why I don't go in very often is that I can keep up. By the time I've typed my message in and it's appeared on the screen the conversation has moved on. Unfortunately my internet connection at home is very slow and my PC isn't up to broadband ------------- Entering an age of Austerity and now driving a Focus Diesel. |

Hey it's amazing how much we can get through at that time of night. We put the world to rights, criticise every car in the world other than our own of course (!), fantasise about Chavs being against the law, cover political agendas that world leaders would be proud of, offer advice on what drink to have between keystrokes and even, very occasionally, we share a chinese together (but it messes the screen up as you pass it through so you have to be careful). As many people as possible should get in there tonight, it's a good old banter session. -------------

Has Nigel been in and bust it?  ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped.. No BMW as yet... |
