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.
