The site was down today and chat still appears to be down

So, one of the things I love so much about this site is the chat. It is really cool sometimes to be able to talk in real time with people going through what I am going through. I have not been able to get onto the chat for three days now. Has anyone else been having the same problems? I was just wondering if it is just me. Thank you all!!

I just checked and chat seems to be working. Anyone want to chat tonight? I'll check back later.

Hello All, We've spent several hours troubleshooting a recent issue with our Chat Application. It seems that users of Internet Explorer 8.x are experiencing a 'blank' window at times. The entire page loads, with the exception of the actual chat view. Most of the time, you will hear the audio from the chat, but will have no visual. To resolve this issue, each time the window is not showing, simply move your mouse to the bottom right hand corner of your browser window. You'll see an icon that looks like a Magnifying glass with a Plus Symbol, click on this and adjust the percentage to something different than the current value. Then your chat will appear, and you c…

Chat not functioning again. It doesnt load. Cleared cache, tried different magnification and everything else I can think of. Whats up? thanks.

How do I set up my UserCP so that I receive an email to my email address when someone posts a message and/or response on a specific thread? I'm specifically looking for a way to receive notificiation when someone posts/responds to something on the "Weight Watchers & Lap-Band" group. Thanks

Is there a certain time period in which one can edit their own posts? I noticed this morning I had a typo and was going to edit it; however, the edit option was not there and is was my own post. Not that it matters, just an occupational hazard -- drives me crazy when I happen across a post of mine and it has a typo. Just curious. Thanks

Even though I check "remember me", I am often not logged in if I come here from the main page. This means I can't find the User CP link and posts I've read aren't always marked as read. Just thought I'd report that.

I am having problems with me being able to read my own posts. Other people can read what I post, but I can't go back and look at my previous posts in a thread to see exactly what I wrote. Is there a setting I need to change or something? Thanks, Joan

Whenever I enter the chat room, all I have is a white box ... if I hit chat again, then I get the "loading" message and then the chat menu opens up ... is this the way it's s'pose to work or am I doing something wrong? :thumbup:

I know there must be a way to set your default font/color for posting/replying; however, I'm apparently not in the proper location to do that ... how is that done, please? Black and Verdana are just too boring for me

Thank you for the forum. It is great. BUT, since you asked... I don't like the PM format. It is confusing to follow, especially after a few replies. That is JMHO. Thanks

We hope to have the Vertical Sleeve Talk Chat room up shortly. You can subscribe to this thread for further updates.

Make it look like you! But be warned, it will give you a fat, short, squatty body. Just hold something large in front of your body to hide it. ;o) Make Your Avatar at Osoq.com It's kind of fun, give it a shot!

Alex - my multi-quote doesn't appear to be working ... any suggestions? Or am I doing something wrong? Are others having any trouble or is it "operator error"

We're taking the chat rooms down for an hour or so in order to upgrade some functionality and fix some issues.

Thanks to our active and dedicated members, we received our 1.2 Millionth post just moments ago! This is a huge milestone and LBT deserves a huge pat on the back

I clicked on the wrong link in my email and accidentally unsubscribed. Can you undo it? I'm only here because I was already logged in.

Alex... I think I speak for us all when I tell you that we want to see a real photo of you! That photo in your Av is tiny, we can't see exactly what you look like. We would like photos, please. ;o)

You can now use the Invite Your Friends link found under "Quick Links" in the forum Nav bar to invite your friends to VST!

Am still wondering what has happened to the homepage. I don't like this new one that takes you directly to the forums I preferred the one that showed all the new threads. Is this a temporary glitch or a permanent change? Please say its only temporary - please bring the old one back.

I am getting snowblind from trying to read the forum. Is this permanent? Or a glitch in the system?

What has happened to the Forum tab that used to be after the Home tab up top?

can i get Dr. Miles and Dr. Schmitt added to the alabama- birmingham section of Surgeons?

Why doesn't my profile picture show when I post visitor messages and join social groups?

I cannot get my replies to private messages to go through. I tried three times. They still show up as new messages - not replied to. What is going on?

I just tried to respond to a couple different threads using the quote feature, and all I ended up with was a blank box to begin typing in. In other words, no quoted material transferred to the box. Thanks!

I don't know about anyone else, but I am not receiving my email notifications of responses to threads or PM notices. Thanks

Hi. I stopped receiving my email notifications yesterday afternoon. I have verified that my spam filter is not deleting any emails.

Cant get on to the chat today. Get the following message: Login error: request auth-url connection timeout

Tried both buttons for blogs (at the top) and neither is working. I get a blank page when I click the blog button.

Question: How do I make my signature animated. the picture I have is a. gif and I have a HTML code I can use as well. Along with a http link....but they all don't seem to work. I noticed down on the bottom on my "signature permission" that HTML isn't allowed. How can I get my signature to be animated like everyone elses?
