Feature Update: Phased Chat 2.0 System
Hi everyone! As you know we've been making some updates to our interface, starting with the feed, then the headers and now the chat interface.
Today is the start of a 2 week phased update to the chat system for the site. The chat system powers the chat page itself, 1-1 chats, group chats, how members and listeners are connected together, and many other parts of the site. The new system has some UI changes and many functionality updates behind the scenes that have been requested for a while (e.g. the ability to refresh a group chat page!).
Initially, you should not notice much change apart from the chat list/inbox on the homepage which has been refreshed. Over the next few days, the updates that are rolled out should be invisible to you and you shouldn’t notice any interruptions or changes. If you do spot any functionality bugs, please do let us know.
It will be later in the process (e.g. next week) when the UI changes will become more widely available. At that point, you will be able to choose which chat system you use (v1 or v2). Once we are happy that the new system is stable, all users will be moved over to the Chat 2.0 system.
We will share more details about the upgrades and new features available in Chat 2.0 very soon.
Note: if you are having any issues, we recommend updating your web browser to the latest version

@Heather225
Thanks for the update 😊
Hey @Heather225 just letting you know that I have had my first glitch! I cannot load my PMs. The buffer wheel just keeps spinning and the message doesn't open. I'm able to get in rooms fine
@beck1
@Heather225 ^ I have this too! ♡
@beck1 @Heather255
my PMs are loading up but they're out of order half the time and sometimes they just don't appear until I refresh the page. same issue with rooms as well, messages are sometimes missing, sometimes out of order until page is refreshed.
Same problem here. Worse on laptop.
Also on laptop... the namelist of people who left 1/1 chat messages has disappeared.
@Heather225 Thanks for the heads up
@Heather225
Thanks for the info 👍
Is this why my messages to people are all messed up with the times? I'm not sure how to explain it tbh 😬
@mytwistedsoul
Same with me, both chat rooms and pms
@Jefferythebunny319 Glad it's not just me :) but boy it sure is confusing. The last message you send is Above the last on the other person sent
@mytwistedsoul
It just makes no sense to me and confuses me.
I'm on mobile browser and it's my M I haven't checked my l
@Jefferythebunny319 You'll have to check maybe it's just on the member side of the chat?
@mytwistedsoul
Same here! The first time I had this glitch I was really confused.. I asked a mod about it and they sent the link for the new version of the chat room..
(Not sure if that makes sense, but that's what happened to me)
I'm sure once they are done with the entire update, it will be really great, though! 😊
@mytwistedsoul
I have noticed the same thing happening for my chats
@kyan1 Guess it's everyone having this trouble 😕
@Heather225
Wow! You are daring to tinker with such a core part of the system!
I know companies that still use COBOL software decades old for their accounting...
Would this be the thread for suggestions and reporting bugs? (like the Forum Functionality thread).
Much luck with the development and transition!
All the best!
Marcelo.

@ASilentObserver
Thank you, Obs!
I will wait until it gets stabilized to share ideas or report bugs.
Shouldn't this form be widely communicated to all the community?
