I keep getting kicked from the chat for no reason!I was being appropriate,not talking about taboo subject,and not cussing and I get kicked still! Has this happened to anyone else?

Ah. That would be that the chatroom has a time limit of inactivity before it kicks you. No one is actually kicking you on purpose. Although, even though the time limit is supposed to be 25 minutes of inactivity will kick you, there have been reports of completely dissimilar times doing the same thing.

It doesn't happen to me, but they may or may not have to do with me being here before the latest update (which I'm guessing is the source since it wasn't happening before then, or at least no reports of it).

Just know that you aren't getting kicked on purpose by anyone, okay.

It kicks you way faster if you are on a device like an iPad.

At the moment, the Chatautomatically kicks members after 30 minutes if you don't post any messages. You don't seem to be banned from the Chatat all either, and only mods/admins are able to kick users from the Chat. Are you able to access the Chat at all, or are you kicked as soon as you try to enter?

IP.Chat is quite a glitchy piece of software. It's supposed to auto-kick you after 30 minutes of being idle, but whether it actually does or not is up in the air. In my experience, ad blockers (regardless of whether you have the site whitelisted or not - it's enough to just have one enabled) often cause problems with it. If you don't use one, then IP.Chat is likely just having a bad day.

Unfortunately, there's virtually nothing that can be done about it, as IP.Chat is a remotely hosted solution that runs on IPS's servers, not my own.

To give my opinion of it, IP Chat is infuriating at times. An abundance of glitches here and there, bugs that annoy people, and overall bad design makes it less than stellar. Hopefully this one proves to be a bit more tame!
