I also have Rootschat as my homepage, same URL as Paul quoted.

When I log in, it changes and presents me with a page asking me to log in!!  Not logical, as it is also welcoming me in the top right hand corner.  This is only slightly annoying, but as I am still on dial-up I have to get past this page several times a day.  Is there anything I can do?

This is a recent development, by the way.

Kind regards, Arranroots

I installed spybot last week and it hasn't had that effect.  BUt I reduced my cache size and cleared out temp internet files and that did.

Aha!  I did too!  Thanks Pam.  Is there a remedy, I wonder?

The irony is that the wretched adware is still bothering me and the Free SMS Logo thingy seems to have something nasty in it!

It is enough to put you off!

RootsChat should be running a little bit quicker right now.

We've tweaked a few little things, but we don't want to change too many things too quickly in case it causes problems for other users.

We've also upgraded the RootsChaterBox too, the older one had a few "memory leaks" - unfortunately the new RootsChatterBox is only really suitable for quicker computers.

Naturally as RootsChat continues to grow, we need to try and keep things tuned up like a racing car. It tricky at times, and we are still learning, we didn't expect things to grow so quickly - but thank you all so much for putting up with the slow speeds at times, and for being so supportive and understanding.

Paul,

Thanks! Just added another setting just now, which seems to be doing something! Smiley
