Two complaints
on: June 01, 2008, 04:28:00 AM
1. The chat.

The software is chat is laggy, horrible, and generally out of date.

2. Home page

The automatic music that plays is appalling and obnoxious. If you insist on having it, I'd prefer it to play manually rather than automatically.

Thanks.

I have mentioned that it would probably be better to have the pianostreet chat on IRC, much like what they do on Gamingforce. It runs flawlessly on there. You could even integrate it into the site so people don't have to download a client. It works much faster than the software here. The slow speeds are the reason why I don't even use the chat here anymore, really.

Thanks for your suggestions.  :)
I agree that the chat can be improved but it has not highest priority at the moment. We will definately consider the IRC option.
The auto started music on the home page is run as a temporary test and we will probably remove it soon.

Yeah, the automatic music.  I'd rather have it manual too.  I couldn't figure out where it was coming from at first.  And then I forget... or hit the button but somehow hit it twice and it starts playing again...
