The new interface does not work very well with Firefox when it comes to the chat. The chat words are blurry and almost impossible to read. I do not have the same problem with the new interface using IE. Has anyone else noticed this problem when using Firefox?

i'm not having that problem on my air mac... don't use firefox on my windowz box....

I use Firefox and I'm not seeing any problems apart from the odd quirky jump

What version of Firefox are you using and same for flashplayer ? .. Also have you made sure hardware acceleration is either on or off for flashplayer ? Just right click the chat and click settings to get to the flashplayer settings. Try enabling and disabling hardware acceleration in flash and remember when you do it to close the browser and relogin to the chat to see if the changes are better.

Another thing you can add is a screenshot showing this blurry text problem you are having, if the screenshot shows the problem it could also be the graphics cards drivers need updating. Many graphics cards now require an updated driver for them to work correctly with flashplayer's hardware acceleration and new features.

I'm not seeing any problem with firefox or I.E with the site video or chat.. People having skipping video and such need either a better internet connection or to check their system is up-to-date with drivers, windows updates and flashplayer updates, to add make sure you are running a computer that atleast has a single core processor at 2.5Ghz or over or a graphics card that can offload some of the video work off the processor for the video/audio to play smoothly . Also some performers have poor internet which makes some rooms look slow or skipping video or audio, so make sure to be in a room with a performer that has good internet and knows how to setup her/his computer correctly.

Here's the weird thing. I only have this problem with Firefox and chat when I'm logged in. When I'm not logged into F4F, I don't have the blurry and unreadable font in chat with Firefox. It's just after I log in. And as I said before, I DON'T have this problem at all with IE - whether logged in or not.

MartyMcFly you still didn't answer the questions I asked above regarding software versions and operating system to add.. also did you try disabling hardware acceleration in flashplayer ?

Can't really help you unless you give us more information, I hear my Jedi powers are good but not that good to see into your home and see what you are running there :winkwink

.. More info ..more we can help you mate to cure that problem and for all I know right now is that computer requires a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to work . :winkwink

"Whoa, this is heavy." I'm running the current version of Firefox (3.6.15) and the current version of Flash (10.2.152.32). I tried diabling hardware acceleration as you suggested and it didn't work. The problem must be a conflict with Firefox and VS Client v4.0.33 (whatever this is.) When not logged into F4F in Firefox it uses VS Guest Client 3.0.61 and there are NO problems. When I log in and it becomes VS Client 4.0.33, I get the blurry almost unreadable chat. (Sorry, but can't figure how to put a screen shot in here - print screen doesn't work in this forum field.) I guess I'll just use IE as the VS Client v.4.0.33 (again, whatever that is) works fine with it. Thanks for your help.

Best tool for screenshots on the fly is UO Screenshot Utility Version 1.40, A great utility for getting screenshots. It will save them and auto number them for you in any folder you like and will save them as a jpg, without having to do cutting and pasting into some graphics application. All at a stroke of a hotkey you setup.

Also post the pic on some pic hosting site .. something like tiny pic

http://tinypic.com/

and then just copy the link into the forums so we and the tech department can check out what you see.

I tried many things to try create the blurry text you mention and I can't i'm starting to think you have some add-on on firefox that maybe causing it, I would try running firefox without any other add-on apart from java and flashplayer.

Another thing you can try is this ...

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/751988

This involves you turning off hardware acceleration in the web browser, which is currently known to cause some blurry text problems with certain graphics cards/drivers for graphics cards.

Also if you are using an ATI/AMD graphics card that supports morphological filtering in the drivers, turn that feature off that also is known to cause blurry text on web pages, applications and games. Use the standard Anti-Aliasing in the drivers and set it to application settings (so that way each application controls what it needs).

I also advise you update your graphics drivers for your graphics card, there has been so many recent changes in graphics card technology recently and video graphics drivers for new features added to applications that can use the graphics card to help accelerate computer performance (GPU acceleration/GPU computing. This is why you are starting to see many common applications like web browsers take advantage of the graphics cards power and to help the CPU (Processor) speed up applications, but all these new fetures will not work if the graphics cards drivers are out dated and this is why you maybe seeing these strange things currently like blurry text.

Remember if you are still using Windows XP some of the features will not work, like Direct2D..
