Up coming fixes/additions

Hi all,

I've been doing my best to fix some of the more annoying issues we are experiencing like the stuck accounts, and the user name list in chat rooms having duplicate entries.

Over the last week my focus has primarily been on the stuck accounts issue. I've been testing my fixes and I'm pleased to say they finally work - this time! So you can expect those fixes to be applied soon. I'm back to working my full days again after having a few days off.

I am also re-writing the Roomer handler to try and better handle the duplicate names and I have also fixed the ghosted messages in the chat rooms. Well so far with TommyD and my testing the ghosted messages have been resolved but we'll not fully know until after they are applied and we start getting more feed back.

An important update - that I honestly should have had in place from the start - to the server capacity message I had been displaying.

Firstly, the server cap was set low for awhile to allow me to better debug certain issues with the registration process. For the most part those issues have been resolved and we've found that the majority of them are client based in that certain VM's and OS's cause the client to hang, not only during registration but regular use. Windows XP mode had always given me issues but not to others where as I have no problems with Windows 95/98 mode at all and others do. These issues are going to take some time to resolve so I do ask for your patience in this regard.

Secondly, the server cap has been increased to 100 - this seems low but continue reading to see why. On that note I have also given priority to my Patreon users, so no matter how full the server gets you guys should never have issues signing on to the service. Nor should anyone trying to register an account have issues doing so as far as server capacity is concerned. As time goes on the server cap will be increased. But Guest accounts will no longer fill the server and keep you guys from gaining access. (once the updates have been applied that is)

I've also been addressing the Profiles issues people are having where their profile gets copied from someone else's. Also on this subject I have been working to fill in the profile creation form with your profile data - if you have entered any previously.

Thanks again for your support, without you guys I don't think I'd be working as hard as I am to get this all going.

Much love,

Mike (Zip)
