Many also don't like the fact that you have to alter your name sometimes to re-enter the chatroom. Because of these complaints, I removed the toolzone chatroom and added a quicker easier chatroom in early December and polled chatters about which format they liked better. They missed being able to leave a message in the room, saying when they would be back to chat. Even though toolzone is slow, this feature seems to help people meet in the room at the same time. I continue to search for the perfect chat setup.
Funds are a big concern because chatrooms eat up bandwidth and a good one is expensive.
We are on a tight budget and limited in our choices. The reason this happens is that you most likely didn't use the EXIT links last time you left the chatroom. The program thinks you are still in the room. For some reason, when you return to the chatroom later, sometimes your comments seem to disappear the conversation. I have no idea why this happens, but don't worry, the comments are only be invisible to the person who typed them.
