NEW AND IMPROVED CHAT LAYOUT!

In our constant attempt to make blogTV user-friendly and well, pretty, we have streamlined the chat layout for you! Now you will find all of your necessary items on convenient buttons under your broadcasting screen and chat window. No more taking up useful space under your profile picture and no more searching for the elusive features that are right under your noses but somehow hard to locate.

However, the most important aspect of this new chat layout is one new answer to the LAG issue so many of you made wishes about on the wishlist. Now you will be able to close or open the "ALSO LIVE NOW" show area (now located above the broadcasting screen, the full length of the window) so that you do not experience constant refreshing, lag and over all irritation. Simply press to open and press again to close when needed.

You may also see that there is a new button above the chat window called "blogTV chat." This is a clue as to other possible chat options to come...

After looking at this better, I saw you can now close the thumbnails out. That's awesome how ya did that! My question is will the layouts still work? It looks like you didnt change the tale width, so I hope they still work. Wooo! Again, awesome update!!

I don't really like the location for the subscribe button at all and think some of the icons are unneccsary. For example Buy Pro Account, Send Message and Customize Page. That could be the same as before and under the picture on the profile.

Never mind my above comment mentioning the placement for the Subscribe button. I was basing my opinions off of the screen shots. After going into rooms I see that it is the first button instead of close to the last. Another thing, the chat still freezes when loading for Pro Accounts. It doesn't freeze for normal accounts. I don't think people want to pay $25 for the chat to freeze everytime it loads.

Shows arent loading for me either, and the viewer numbers are wrong if you compare them to the ones shown in the chat.

VIEWS > CHATTERS

Its different you idjit.

Viewers are people who are watching you but not in the room typing, chatters are people in the room and logged in as a guest or in their account.

Guys, you put the ban button on that button bar. Right under the chat submit button. Can't you guys make that button bar a drop down? Or give us the option to at least close that bar when we do need it. I for see many problems with the ban button placement

Nightwheel

Oh yea, I'm seeing the ban button on the viewer side of things. Here's a picture of what I mean: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t29/nightwheel/newblogtvfeatures.jpg

this is great and all, but please please blogtv, come up with a way to better manage our videos, eg: Bulk Editing, Make the videos more user friendly, allow us better tools to edit your videos

what Im getting at is I got 500+ videos, I want to be able to see all of them if not at least more than 6, it would be cool if we can see 30 at a time so we can see whats good and what needs to go, I know recording 500 videos is kinda asking for this but I really would like to be able to edit with greater ease, I dont know if you understand what I mean, but email me and Ill go more into detail :P

Still like the new setup. I noticed its getting more and more streamlined, which is tightening up the look, I really like it.
