The Social or Combined upgrade gives 24/7 access to webcams in the video chat. It also gives unlimited messaging and shouts.

Thanks for your suggestion. AVChat is an Adobe Flash based application which unfortunately won't work on most mobile devices. The video chat here is a similar application, but I've been trying to move away from this with the new text chat to make it more inclusive. The text chat needs some refining but I'm sure this is the way to go.

Sounds like a glitch in the chat system that we need to be aware of.
Another thing, he's asked for his account to be fully restored upon sending ID and for the ID to be destroyed afterwards. Destroying the ID shouldn't be a problem, but restoring the account will be because he was permanently banned which deletes all the content. He can't be bothered to return if this has happened.
In future I think it would be better to give a year long ban instead, since by then they may be old enough to return in any case, or if they prove their age their account can be fully restored.

Totally what I was thinking, it would have more the look of the shouts page but would would be instant. Like you say it would make scrolling easier and would gut the page better on mobiles. However I wasn't sure how people would take it since it would be quite a change and take some getting used to. Would be interested in hearing other views.

Chat's been down for around 24 hours, but should be working fine again now. If you're still having problems just let me know.

You can increase the time logged in. If when you next log in you check the 'remember me' box, you will automatically be logged in for the next month. Without this you will get logged out after three hours.
You should not check the 'remember me' box if your are on a shared computer, because then anyone will be able to access your account. The three hour log out is a security fail safe for people who forget to log out when on a shared computer, so I don't really want to increase this limit.
I totally agree with you about the character counter on the gainer blogs and will add this to my list of improvements. I'll review the character limit at the same time to see if it's sensible to increase this.
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated.
