Chat box in Elections?

Status: Fixed
by Dewey Decimal boxingkitty on 01-11-2012 07:16 AM

let me see if i have this straight....

 

we cannot sort our messages by sender nor our videos in any manner... but you guys are wasting time and resources developing a broken chat feature only for elections game with the end result of it seriously  degrading page load times and core functionality?

 

what happened?... did the all the clear thinking and effective programming project leaders leave tagged and find real jobs elsewhere?

 

umm... in case you haven't heard.. there is gmail chat, yahoo IM, skype and a myriad other of more stable and better featured voice / IM programs already available to folks ...tugged members use these prolly 100 to 1 over anything tugged offers because... well... basically they work and every attempt by tugged to incorporate communication methods beyond it's native no-frills bare minimum slower than the slowest message inbox has been a tremendous fail....

 

so why not stop trying to re-invent the wheel... partner up with google or one of the IM / Email providers who know how to get the job done....  and get back to work on improving the functionality of existing features on tugged

 

..... and i am posting this to tugged's "new and improved" community bbs as though someone who works for tugged will actually read it.... just call me hopelessly optimisitc

Thanks for your feedback! Group chat rooms are a frequently-requested feature here on Tagged and Elections is the place we've implemented them to see how people might enjoy it and if it would improve collaboration in the game. Please bear in mind that this is a new feature, with planned improvements coming over time.

 

Many people responded to us about this new feature- some enjoy it, while others would rather play the game without group chat. As a result, Elections chat is now completely optional. You can opt out by going to your Account menu, clicking 'Settings', then changing your Group Chat 'Application Settings' on the 'Privacy' tab.

oh... and FYI... your elections chatbox feature is becoming a spam magnet already with people posting external links  .. so yet again... we are exposed to another avenue of vulnerability and exploitation simply because the planners of this feature lacked the foresight to build in filtering and adequate protection

 

not good

by b_F_d on 01-11-2012 11:19 AM

why dont you atleast give us the benefit to disable this worthless chat box or to turn it on or off its USELESS  just like all your stupid updates additions  to games that were great and now ruined... Ie Cafe, elections  pets... U obviously DO NOT think out.... how these things should be implemented  or listen to the users of these games

:smileysad:  The chat box in elections is causing major problems with my browser; PLEASE consider removing it soon--otherwise I, & many others, may have to stop playing the game. Thank you for placing a priority on this bug in elections!

Boxingkitty and Permalink I could not agree with both of you more.  This chatbox is worthless and wreacks havoc on my browser.  I guess it is good I have antivirus software installed.  It is a shame you come to a site like this for entertainment and you have to consider not playing a game because of these add ons.  Do they not test these things before adding them?  Why can't we have an option to opt out or turn it off? 

by micleaau on 01-12-2012 12:27 AM

I  agree with the previous posts, the chat box is ruining the tagged site, can we at least have the option to turn it on or off. Do any of the tagged hierarchy actually read these posts:smileymad:

by One-Hit Wonder philgt on 01-12-2012 02:00 AM

who decided to put this chatbox on and why in the elections game?

 

I agree with all the other comments. As far as i know nobody actually asked for it so why put it on

 

If anybody reads this (& I am not convinced that they do)  please GET RID OF THE CHATBOX.

Hi there - how do I get rid of chat in Elections ?

by jolene411 on 01-12-2012 05:11 AM

How many people have to quit playing before something is done about the chat box?  I have not been able to play for 2 days now because the "running script" takes over.  PLEASE help get rid of the chat box.

I do not know about anyone else, but this chat box in essence has stopped me from playing elections and I really had no choice in the decision.  The chat slows my browser so much I can not give favors and have contacted tagged 2 times to please opt me out.  I am to the point sadly to say if the issue is not resolved soon I am going to delete my account from tagged.  I have already lost valuable time in Elections and I see no one making any effort to fix a problem they refuse to admit they caused.

by sherij2 on 01-12-2012 08:09 PM

Please stop the -chat box- in Elections.. It's causing too many issues.

by mr_john on 01-12-2012 09:54 PM

please get rid of the worthless chat box in elections, it kills the browser

by angry_elections on 01-13-2012 04:16 AM

I too can not play due to the chat feature.

 

Get rid of it or you will have gotten rid of me.

by bill634 on 01-13-2012 08:15 AM

They identify the problem, yet they continue to allow it to run instead of turning it off until the solution is found.  Now to me that is the most unintelligent thing I have ever heard.  Is someone ashamed to let their idea go until the bugs are worked out?  Never mind how we feel.

by playeas on 01-13-2012 11:13 AM
It doesn't work well this chatbox

by jramey30 on 01-13-2012 05:46 PM

why are you all wasting my time on this game with the chat box, it has caused the page to run too slow and causing interruptions in the elections game, please remove the chat box or give us the option to turn it off.

by breathe2 on 01-13-2012 07:34 PM

by EJB on 01-14-2012 02:34 PM

by drwilson1310 on 01-15-2012 01:04 PM

I totally agree the last few posts here, the Chat Box is horrible. It's screwing up my browser, slowing it down drastically.  Please let us decide if we want to use it or not. 

by tinastiffler on 01-15-2012 01:52 PM

I agree the Chat needs to be removed. I can not do my elections because it is blocking half my screen. Can you please find a way to were you can either log out ormake the chat go away. If not I will close out mt Tagged account until this problem gets fixed.

by LadyPri on 01-15-2012 08:25 PM
