Quick chat room update may cause serious confusion with emoticons

We had this issue in the past. An update we applied to chat today made some things better – but those users who came back to the chat within 30 minutes of the update may have some serious communication problems when it comes to the use of emoticons – either you are sending an emoticon / smiley or ass or boobs or something and the other people in the chat will be seeing something else. Of course it could go the other way – someone may be sending the “boobs emoticon” and you could be seeing a pasaphire or something else.

This is a major communication issue for those users who were in the chat at the time.

The best way to fix this is:

logout of the chat

go to a different page on the site (not one of the chat room pages)

clear your browser cache

Firefox clear cache – http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cache-delete-temporary-files-fix-issues#w_clear-the-cache

clear cache with IE (Internet Explorer calls it temporary internet files) -http://support.microsoft.com/kb/260897

clear cache / temp files with chrome – http://support.google.com/chromeos/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582

clear cache opera 11.X – Click on Tools-Preferences-Advanced-History. When in History, in Memory and Disk Cache activate “Empty on Exit”.

When you Exit Opera, cache will be clear.

Sorry about the issue – it’s a major one, but the fix is pretty quick.

We are always trying to make our sex chat rooms better and better. This update should fix a major issue, and we have more site updates coming in the near future!
