Technical Support: Chat not updating after about a minute!
This has been happening for months now. I'll log into a model's room, and after about a minute I can no longer see new messages from the model, other customers, or myself. Same thing in a private show: it works for about a minute, then no new text displays.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who experiences this. I am assuming that the room has blocked me from all open interaction. Either that, or the performer is working on another site.
Maybe they have found sneaky ways of banning us in 'light' mode. Just as they kick us without having the guts to inform us.
So many lament the latest "disconnected" parlez.

this happens to me when a group ends or party mode ends.
the browser will either crash or the chat room just stops updating. Quote

My experience has been quite the opposite. I have done hundreds of group chats, party chats and private shows and I don't think I have ever seen the chat screen freeze or go blank during a show or in open chat. I have sometimes seen the video screen freeze or go blank, but that is a different matter.
I do sometimes have problems where everything freezes just after the end of a Group Chat (TorinGray and Bisport's posts above). Again, I think that is a different issue. Quote

Yes, I think I'm having a different problem. There seems to be no link between an event occurring (ie, entering/leaving private or a group show) and the chat freeze, other than it takes 30 seconds to a minute for it to happen. Either that, or it freezes once there is enough chat to cause the scroll bar to appear.
I'm not sure when this started up, as I've been very light on this site for the last year. Obviously though, it takes a lot out of the experience! Quote

I hope that might give VS or others a clue as to what is causing your problem, silverado.
I think there might be a link between the scroll bar and the main window size. I use a 1024 x 768 display, and the default F4F main window is a bit smaller than that. I often need to "stretch" the main window to make the chat scroll bar visible. Whenever I do that the whole screen refreshes, which is rather odd. Might be worth experimenting with window/screen sizes while you wait for other responses.

This is different from freeze up of video screen, this is a blank chat window.

I can now confirm that the chat DOES NOT freeze upon the appearance of the scroll bar. I also have no problem seeing the scroll bar...that is, when enough text has been displayed before my chat window seems to time out and freeze.
After investigating, it seems the chat freezes around 30 seconds after loading the room (it's difficult to tell as there is no indication when it freezes, you just no longer receive updated chat messages). Maybe "freeze" is the wrong word to use, as I can still input text myself and it appears on screen, but I no longer see other user messages or the model's messages.
Frustrating! Quote

We can help you more then. Quote

Updated flash player seems to have fixed the problem. I just updated it a couple months ago, so I can't believe that was it!
Thanks Purg and everyone else for their insight.
Now back to the girls!
