In the new chat you have to use the up arrow to be able to post gifs as opposed to just clicking the camera icon

So it's a choice between taking a photo right then with a camera or uploading a photo. Why is that a problem? Where should the extra button go for taking Live Photos?
 
Now the new site is glitching so bad that i went from posting pics to nothing uploading. I have deleted browser history twice and it doesnt do anything.

There are significantly more rooms (added recently) in new chat, as well as all the same rooms as in old chat, since day one.

Fair point. May I make a suggestion? What about keeping the old chat open and turning it into an adults only chat? What I mean is, making it more geared towards adult themes rather than family friendly. Same rules just less restrictions on what can/can’t be said? Keeping the rules about Pedobaiting, illegal activities, etc. but allowing us to be more explicit and sexually charged.

Family content is already banned. http://www.freechatnow.com/rules


There's not enough moderators to go around.
Old software is full of bugs and is becoming less and less compatible with web browser standards.

Owners wouldn't even be wasting their time and money is old chat were good to keep around.

On August 15th until August 18th, we're temporarily disabling the old chat to get feedback on the progress made with the new chat software.

We've addressed a lot of the concerns form the previous old chat downtime thread and look forward to getting more suggestions.

Some of the major changes are:
  • Performance upgrades, for those that complained of lag, please let us know if any improvement.
  • Bug fixes, various quirks in the system have been addressed.
  • Layout changes.
Many of these changes have already taken effect, you can check them out live now in the new chat rooms, most of the visual changes will be incorporated next week.

Thanks!

Don't forget to check preferences and customize to your personal specifications, a lot of the feedback last time was related to individual taste, not problems with the software.

The only complaint I have is that the friends list isn't carried over that I can see, doesn't show anyone I have added in there, and makes it difficult as I have problems remembering who I have added and why, sorry if this is something that can't be handled, thats my only gripe, but it happened on another site too

May I make a suggestion..you know how difficult it was for moderators to police the whole site..now you want them to police both sites ??
 
Morons don't just appear in rooms it seems..its not fcn that is abandoning the old version..its Web browsers that are fazing out the software to run the site..Duhhh

I mean, why exactly do you need to force people onto the new chat? Also, am I the only one here who really doesn't see the point in an entirely new chat software to begin with? The old one works just fine, and the new one doesn't offer enough advantages to justify switching (other than being made to, which is incredibly suspicious, frankly). Of course, it's entirely possible I've completely missed something.

Totally agree!

What is going to make it obsolete?

Coding and security features, SEO implemention, etc. Technology is always changing and therefore updates need to always be made. The current system is in need of replacement I am not the developer of this website so the answer isn't about this particular website but websites in general.
