Security

Incomplete Loading
-
Most loading problems occur due to technical issues with Java and browsers. To avoid these problems, check for Windows updates, update Java, update Flash and empty your browser's cache.
Trouble Sending Messages
-
If a chat room glitch occurs and disables your ability to send messages, the chat room server likely encountered an error. The best solution for this is to sign in with a different chat ID or leave until the website clears the problem.
Crashes

Chat room crashes occur for many reasons. In most cases, they can be remedied by simply closing and reopening your browser before returning to the chat room.
