There were 2 changes relating to the chat rooms implemented yesterday:
Non-paying members can no longer initiate or participate in private messaging (PM) sessions. I have asked the development team to consider allowing this if a paid member initiates the PM. I will advise in due course.
Secondly for some considerable time members with a large volume of photos in their media centre have been unable to post from that in the rooms because the media selection button was timing out trying to load all the thumbnails. As an interim measure, only the latest 100 photos will be loaded by the media selection button.
