It could be a caching problem as Clive suggests. Try entering Ctrl+f5, this will completely refresh the page and download everything again. It should download all the thumbnails.

No option to block anyone might be a bit concerning to people.
That should be a thing.
Also no lobby. Maybe you don't want to announce yourself to the world that you're online to everyone in the chat. Not everyone likes the spotlight, we lurk for reasons on occasion.
The online list should be in the chat room, not a different list.
The "Reply and Chat" options should not be next to one another.
When you look at another profile, it shouldn't have to be in another tab. As it is now clicking on anything else closes the chat.
I had one PC experience and clicked on their profile, it closed the PC and when I came back to chat I couldn't reopen the chat.
Is it ten PC's a day or ten, but only one per person a day?
This might be a personal choice thing but the bubble chat seems to be unsettling to me. I don't know why I don't like it but I've never seen Bubble Chat be used in any other kind of chat I've been in before. It feels more like Texting on a phone and impersonal.
It doesn't feel comfortable to be in this kind of chat anymore. I can't quite explain it.
Old chat felt like going into a bar or a club. You could pick a room and even though most of the time it was always one room or another being most active, the option of choice was nice.
And if FF was a few years ago and as active as it used to be. Could you imagine a chat room like this. Thousands of people hitting chat and being put into a room like this all at the same time?
It'd be insane, or crash the site! lol
Anyway, that's just what I think and have noticed so far.
Brilliant feedback! Thanks a lot for this. If anyone else agrees or disagrees with any of this or has any other comments of their own, please post below.

The most recent move (getting rid of the old Flash chat permanently-- at least for the moment) seems geared to try to *force* people to use the new chat (since it seemed little to NO people used it, when they had the choice between the two).
*Force* is a harsh word. What we're trying to do is experiment with new things to try and improve the website for everyone. The Flash (video) chat is very good and has served the site well, the problem is that it's old technology that can't be used on most mobile devices and I've noticed a slow but steady decline in it's use over the years. The new text chat uses different technology and although it's still in beta mode and can be improved, it can at least be used on mobile phones, giving many more users access to a chat app on this site.
The video chat was never removed, but I see where the confusion crept in and have changed the order of the links so that it's now the first one you come to.

I'm away from my laptop at the moment but I'll try to get this back up tomorrow

Thanks for your feedback, keep it coming. It seems having the online users in a separate tab is a sticking point for several people. The difficulty is finding something that works in both desktop and mobile. Obviously in mobiles there's less screen width, so having them both in the same tab wouldn't work there. Maybe different layouts for desktop and mobile is a possibility. I'll think about this.

It 10 per day for private chats you initiate yourself. So you can reply to as many as you like from other people.

Please write any ideas, suggestions and comments you have about the new chat in this thread. This chat is a work in progress and there are some know issues which I'll list below:
* No sound on iOS mobile devices and some Samsung devices
* Using multiple devices on same login causes a logout error
* Chat height does not adjust to screen size
Please note that private chats are limited to 10 per 24hours, but general chat is unlimited.
We'll be working on the chat over the coming weeks to iron out any issues to ensure it works as smoothly as possible.
