Katie, Trannyweb is a magical place. Don't worry so much about it not being perfect. Sure, we would all like the chat to work more smoothly, but that is only because we get so much from your work and we hate it when the inanimate world intrudes on the wonderful experience of being here, of interacting and sharing and comforting and learning. But the truth is, with all it's problems, Trannyweb is our home and it's good far outweighs it's problems. We love you for what you have done and appreciate the changes you have facilitated in our lives. As far as I am concerned, TW already is the best website for TG people in the world. If all the girls, guys, TA's, et.al. who feel that way were to line up to give you a hug....you would get very tired before we finished.

Thanks Wendy. I'm just sorry that the improvements always seem to take so long to get done.
The programmers I'm constantly referring to are a very small company in Quebec (there's about 5 or 6 people working there).
They have plenty of other customers apart from us, always seem to be inundated with work and never seem to have enough staff.
That's why it takes so long to get things done.
The new chat room was paid for and delivered about six weeks back. We've just been waiting for Eric the programmer to find enough time to install it and integrate it with our 'environment'. Then we can get rid of the clunky old chat room for good.
That should also lessen the load on the server, making the site run faster.
Anyway, those who want a hug, form a line please...
Hugs,
Katie x

Clever girl, Tiina! Where did you pick up that trick? I'm pretty good at tuning searches by selecting terms but that one is clearly from an approach I have never seen. Are there more little tricks like that? Have I missed some dark art like HTML or JAVA somewhere that has that info? Spill it girl! Geek to geek give me the skinny.....puleeeze.
