Is it just me who is finding it difficult now the "pool" chatroom has extended its capacity? It appears to me to go from one extreme to another; it either goes so fast all you see is a blur of colour and constantly have to scroll back (or look ignorant) or typing your message seems to take forever and doesn't show in the chat room till much later leaving me frustrated. I'd appreciate some feedback on this because I know other people have moaned about it but only little old me who's actually posted a thread about it.
the funny thing about that is people were complaining that they couldn't get into the pool a few weeks ago!!
think the solution is to make our own rooms!

Now come on Princess You are far from ignorant and certainly not "little " well in all the right places lol finally as to old well as you and I have had many conversations bout that subject you are wrong again :lick: :lick: :lick:
More serious note
The room does seem to have a mind off its own now and then; I feel that unless it is the user's puter then it must be sp's server. As to cm's comment the only problem with going to another room is that unless you want a smaller audience to chat to the pool is the best place and more fun as you can get involved in most the chat. I don't think whatever sp does will make everyone happy. So we will just have to try and make off it what we want
think you're absolutely right cmandcd......more rooms are the way forward
You don't even have to make more rooms! There are three permanent rooms and only one ever gets used. If the pool is too crowded, just move to another one!

The capacity was unlimited as I thought a few weeks back, there were 70 people sitting in The Pool and 10 people sitting in another room wishing they were in The Pool?
I think the decision is split down the middle whether or not to have a limit or not?
I think the best option may be to create more rooms (which I see a few have been lately) or keep clicking the clear chat button in the chat room toolbar so it doesn't flood your browser :-?
I have no problem putting the limit back or making it slightly higher, I just don't want to see a thread in a few weeks time about not being able to get in The Pool when unlimited amounts of additional rooms can be created...

Hi Admin and Princess
For what its worth I think it works ok the main problem with moving to other rooms is you don't get the chance to get involved in several conversations but it is great if you only want to chat to a few peeps so please don't touch the numbers admin
