All site supporters have a link to test it on the chat entry page.

After we've tested it and are happy we'll replace the current chat with new chat and it will then be open to everyone.

can you change font size and colours? If everyone is typing in the same then it will get a bit difficult I think

Not at the moment but we plan to allow this. We'll also increase default text size because it's too small.

In the old chatroom, 2 halves of a couple could enter chat together and chat independantly. Is this still available?

Hi, I think that we may have an undocumented feature. When swapping between rooms lots of names move as well. Clicking on the name of a docked cam I dont get the appropriate profile but the profile of the undocked profile on the left.

I hope this either helps or explains my lack of understanding.

Overall a fantastic improvement in quality of cams. I think that opening multiple rooms can be of use but you need to know where you are - mods will have a field day!

Also interesting that you can watch a cam from a different room.

When pm'ing, the window jumps on screen at first but if you want to chat in room again the pm window goes behind chat window and you have to minimise room window to get to the pm's again

All in all I think the new chatroom has some great potential.

One thing I would suggest for it which I did not see in previous feedback is the ability to put the room users names in alphabetical order like the old room. I found it so useful for finding friends rather than trying to find them through a mess of names. Ither than that just the same suggestions as already mentioned.

Great work and thanks

Does it show on your profile if your in the chat room?

and if a couple we want to chat is on line as well, can we click on the icon and takes us straight to that profile in Private mode?

Guess if this can happen, filters need to be available to stop some being swamped with PM...lol

I have windows 7, and have issues with flash player, does it run in Flash?

But looking good so far

Cam quality is much better.

PM option is soooooo much better but screen disappears when you click to type back in general chat.

Text size is small and text colour, font options etc would be fab.

Just a little niggle.

Us ppl who have small laptop screens (we both have 10 inch netbooks) can't see the bit on our own cam to turn off the cam or the audio.

Also on these size screens the dock for cams takes up the entire bottom half of our screens.

Maybe a way to resize the windows to suit if this can be done?

We can size of cams configurable so more suitable for netbooks.

In meantime press F11 to get more real estate in chat we've tested on a netbook works fine when full screen

The new Chat looks good.

You seem to have the font and colour issue in hand.

Other than that, I can't really see the need for Latest box. Perhaps the default Chat Room box could slot in it's place, so it's always available, rather than hidden in background.

Not so sure that we need the flags and icons underneath the name of the room in the list. It only makes the list longer and if you stretch it to fit, it covers the cam window, so maybe the room names without the flags ?

i may have missed it but how do you change font size and colour i cant sit closer to screen and being givena colour when you log in is confusing.

Additionaly how do you turn someones audi off when you are looking at ther cam short of turning off volume.

Well done guys, looking good so far.

After a wander in there for 30 mins, my comments:

+ Pm windows go to background when typing in main room

+ The top of a PM window dissapeared off the screen so I couldnt close it

+ All three cams I was watching froze, when I closed and re-viewed they were just white screens (members said the cams were on)

+ Audio seems to be on as default as you turn cam on, users could be caught out by that.

Dont like that idea.

We dont do it, as we only got one comp, but lots of our friends do, and we like being able to chat to both.

Plus, I was planning to buy a laptop so when I am away I could log on even if Jayne was in too, now it means I got to have another profile?
