We have been going back and forth for a week with the new chat solution and I just sent a very stern email to them about their piss poor customer service on helping us get the issue resolved.

It appears to me that it might be best to reload the old chat solution for the time being until we figure out if the new company is going to be a good thing. I tend to get pissed off when Im trying to spend almost $500 a year for a product and they can't bother to answer many emails. Needless to say, doesn't bode well for what their customer service would be like under a new platform.

In the meantime, I wanted to say I appreciate the folks who have been patient and understanding about this issue rather than making shitty comments about how long it's taking.

Linus and I both work full time jobs (that often entails WAY more than 50 hours per week) and do not receive any income from the Planet. We are working for free for this community and have to do that on our personal time in addition to our real time jobs and families. That is sometimes inconvenient for both us and for you and we do appreciate your understanding as we work out the kinks.

Thanks for your patience!

It's the least we can do! You do so much for the community here. THANK YOU Medusa (((Hugs))) I know you really don't get enough credit for all of the time each of you put in on top of everything else.

I am really sorry that they haven't been responding and I appreciate you keeping us in the loop for what's happening. It would be great to have chat back until you can figure out a solution but just know that we have managed so far and really understand that you have other things to do besides trying to fix chat. Obviously you care, otherwise you wouldn't be working so darn hard all of the time!

Would the old room be safe to use right now?

Appreciate you, Merry!

We completely disabled and off-loaded the old chat solution so I actually need to reload the files and scripts to the server before it will be usable.

I'm working on that now. It could be a lengthy process depending on how our server cooperates and I hate so say we might have the old chat solution back online tonight because I don't want to get your hopes up, but know that I am working on it!

Thanks Ma'am!

If it's up that's great and if it's not, there's always tomorrow or whenever it decides to cooperate. Thanks for you kind words, as always. It's been really awesome to bond with other members outside of chat so just so you know, at least for me something good has come out of trying something new
