While the chat has numerous issues that range from annoying to silly, the fact that private PMs are being revealed publicly is reason enough to *immediately* reverse course and reinstate the old system, pending a solution.

If this were my site, I would sooner shut it down while figuring it out than allow that situation to continue.

After the circus yesterday, I decided to wait one day to see if the situation resolved itself. Well, it hasn't, PMs are still being leaked for all to see in the broken new chat room.

As a result, I have decided I will no longer visit FF on a regular basis. This is such a blatant lack of respect for your own users I don't even want to support it with ad revenue. The idea that this site has paid options is a joke. In fact, given the reasonable expectation of privacy in a PM, I dare say it's even unlawful. And then I see a person affiliated with the site laugh at the leaked private information. Insanity!

Those in charge should be bugging the hell out and racing to change this *yesterday*.

Because I have visited FF for many years, appreciate the site and met many nice people here, I don't want to write it off fully. I will check on it, but till things get better I'll be at that "other" site.

I hate to be that guy but someone had to lay out how insane this is.

For the record, I was not affected by this personally, I just witnessed it go down. I was already about to give up with the chat update anyway, but this issue supersedes them all and goes beyond facepalming.

Good luck guys...grab the backup tapes lol

Same deal with me. In fact to send a message I have to use the send message feature and type in the recipient's username. Reply button also hangs. The pop-up compose window just never happens.

The most baffling change is that you can no longer separate currently online people by gender. Because I like chatting up other people currently online, my experience at FF rapidly changed from hitting up new ladies to looking at lots of pictures of men.

I hate to be that guy and all critical, and maybe I should be more patient, but suffice to say it's difficult to maintain enthusiasm faced with that kind of shift in real-life experience, regardless of how much more modern the code is.

I've been visiting this site for eons, and even spent some money here not long ago. This redesign is so bad, I think I might stop visiting. So much of what made FF cool was just forgotten. Listen to the feedback of your members and just go back. Don't want to be so vocal and critical about it but as a business owner myself I thought you might like to know why one guy won't be upgrading again.

I dated a girl for five months who I told early on I found full tummies cute, and it was no big deal. We had an open relationship and things were pretty stable as long as we were honest about what we were up to. I was fine with all of her "extracurricular" activities, but I honestly hardly had time to date anyone else.

Though she knew about the fetish, she didn't learn about this site until by accident, and it's probably the #1 thing that killed our relationship. I was just lurking on here but idk. Maybe I should have been more honest.
