Members Section Overhaul
We are in the process of overhauling the members section. Over the years members functions have gotten spread out all over the chat site making it an inconvenient mess. It's long overdue to make it all on a couple of cleanly designed pages.
The new members section will have avatar storage with the HTML code generated below the image you upload from your computer. The profile generator will now store unlimited profiles and you will be able to see the AV's and code conveniently close by.
Things like changing your password and screen name will also be located on this page. Also one login to this page will work across all our chatservers which will come in handy because the next version of the chatserver will support clustering which will mean we will have 7 chat servers. This will increase reliability but would be a pain in the ass if we didn't consolidate logins across the cluster.
We are also adding a page of "Bonus software" and software that can come in handy. Browser upgrades, Firefox addons,Personal webservers, Chatro's own HDTV over the net solution and tons of other goodies.
All this is intended to make it easier and quicker to do what you came here to do..Chat. For members we will be adding the ability to move from room to room without having to relog in. Add in an industrial strength squelch which will even squelch users on your list before they enter and I think we have a nice little pile of improvements.
The new members interface has already past the mockup stage and into coding/interface. So that should hit the site rather quickly. As always if we have forgotten anything let us know.

We're Working on It
BROWSER REDIRECTS
I have just gotten off the phone with blacklabel and they are in the process of removing cams.com from the rotation. So if you are having problems being redirected it should be fixed shortly.

Common Errors and Fixes/Rules
The dreaded white center screen. This is almost caused by the last peice of software you have installed. It's usually a webshield or anti virus program.
Sat systems are sometimes a problem. For the most popular Hughs this will work for high lag time and a blank center window. You can go in your browsers advanced settings. For example in Firefox go to TOOLS>OPTIONS>ADVANCED>NETWORK>CONNECTION SETTINGS And put this is manual settings http proxy 69.19.14.10 Port 3128. That works just fine.
403 Error. This means your IP is banned. If you think this is not your fault please contact support so we can reconsider the ban. Sometimes a ban takes out more than one person.
This is more of a problem in support email than an actual technical problem. We do not ban people because you don't like them. Because they are assholes or in your opinion "Have to go". This goes for members and non-members alike. Our rules are very few and very clear. You can read them here http://www.chatropolis.com/rules.html
Reporting Child pornography. If you would like to report an inappropriate image please send us the room name,users screen name,time stamp and right click the offending image. When you right click the image give us the location of where it is hosted. We do NOT host child porn on Chatro.

Breaking up the boredom
I've been doing a lot of text editing. Creating pages and updating information. Doing this 15 hours a day for any length of time will drive you nuts. So I had to do something to break up the boredom.
A 404 page is when you go to a web site and the page is not there. Most are boring, at their best they are helpful. But since it's me it's gotta be funny,offensice and helpful or why bother. This is my answer to a 404 page.
Some may think it's shocking. I'm sure I will get some complaints but for those of us that get it or saw the movie "Full Metal Jacket" you should laugh your ass off or at least smile. I would like to express my extreme regret to those I am about to offend (Yea right).
