Like the look of the new Babechat window and the schedule along the left hand side but ran into a problem with it tonite.

I was called away from my computer during Briana's show and didn't get back until a couple minutes after 9ET. No show scheduled then but Janessa apparently started late so was still on (for another 35 minutes, it turned out).

Since it was after her scheduled time (from 8-9ET), she had disappeared from the schedule and there was no way to get the video. Yeah, it's just my bad luck but is there a way around this? From the chat box comments, it sounded like a great show.

Briana was only on for a minute or two after her hour was up. I saw her close her stream. And there is no real way around this issue anyways, unless the next model up cancels, and an admin schedules a model for the new current hour. In fact, Janessa stayed on for an extra half hour, so I scheduled her at 9pm after the fact so anyone coming in late could see her.

It really all depends on what is going to happen the next hour. If someone else is scheduled, it's their time until they cancel.

Unless I missed an announcement or something...don't think I did though...

Thanks easyBob, Briana wasn't the issue because I was back way too late for her. But I had the chat window open the whole time so when I came back after Janessa's scheduled time was over, I couldn't get in because I was showing Misty's 10ET show as next and Janessa no longer appeared. Sounds like if I had closed the chat and re-opened again, I would have been able to get in (but only because you did add her at 9ET when she ran over).

Of course, when I asked in the chat if there was a way to get in Janessa's show, the only people who responded said no

yeah this is a very narrow problem with the new setup. I think the major problems it has fixed out weigh this by a ton. We will try go keep the active cam image up as much as possible.

It puts a problem for any model who might wanna show up and chat on cam unscheduled for fun too. Said model would have to schedule herself first for people to be able to get video.

I know I saw one person ask how to see it after her first hour was up, that's when I added her for a second. Sorry if I missed ya in there. Because the system is still new, having feedback from members like you is perfect. These things will get discussed to weigh out the possibilities.

But for now, a quick page refresh should get you the right feed as long as someone is there to add it if needed.

That is something you would have to take up with the owners of the servers, as it's their bandwidth. I also think that unscheduled shows is unfair to other paying members who also enjoy seeing the lovely models.

I, in fact, did not know any did this, and am now very jealous.

I myself have no issues with girls showing up unscheduled late at night to keep her fans happy, all said model would need to do is jump into the schedule area and pencil herself in and voila, problem solved. =)

Good point SM, I thought about that problem also and I think it would mainly be an issue if a model went over their time. That's always a fun bonus when it happens! But sometimes during a show my video will freeze, be it a problem at the models end or mine, and I have to refresh and relaunch the link. If this happened after the top of the hour, there is no more link. So if a model decides to run long and it's all fun and a great time, I'm at the mercy of technology again because once I lose the stream, my show is over even if the model is still on...

Like it was said before, if a model decides to do an unscheduled chat she can add a link and everything is fine. But once the hour is up, the link is gone, show over if you lose the stream...

Also mentioned before, the new system apparently solves more problems than this one relatively rare problem it created. But I still empathize with SM. If a show goes long it's extra fun and you want to be a part of it.

Thanks, don. Maybe they will figure a way to address this one issue. In this case, I did follow along with the chat comments so I could picture parts in my mind and I kinda feel like I was almost at the show. Janessa apparently had a friend with her (Mia) and there was kissing and handcuffs and toys.

I was really picturing lots of good stuff except I don't know what Mia looks like so I had to make her up in my mind. She was HOT! Kinda looked like . . .
