Am I the only one having these problems?
– some users show in my favorites list as broadcasting when they aren’t and the last time they broadcasted was several hours ago.
– whenever I’ve been watching a user, they stop broadcasting and start broadcasting again I can’t watch that new session no matter how many times I refresh. The only “solution” is to clear cache/cookies, which is annoying if one is visiting other sites.
Also, why is the list of ignored users saved in our computers instead of in your servers like the lists of favorites and friends. If we clear cookies or use a different computer we lose it and if we keep those cookies and we share our computer with someone else, there goes our privacy.

Will try to get some answers to these questions.

We have not had complaints like this before so if someone else has then we can confirm it’s a common problem. It should not be possible that you cannot start watching people when they restart their broadcast without clearing you cookies/cache. Unless you have some odd sort of setup that we have not encountered before. Contact support with the details of your system so they can check into it further. OS, browser, special software could give clues to the problem.
Storing Data client side radically improves performance. Before setting this up the ignore list only lasted the duration of the cam session. Our future plans will have the master copy of these lists stored server side while maintaining the client side cache. If you share your computer with people, there goes your privacy as well.
Well we in Australia are of the opinion that The Americas don’t think anyone else exists :)

Where is this Australia place anyway? Is that near Europe? ;-)
As far as I know, EST is only used in the Americas. Australia has AEST, and they might shorten it to EST which may be the confusion, also Europe uses EST to refer to daylight savings. But as a time zone, EST only exists in the Americas.
Here in the eastern United States are currently in EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), not EST (Eastern Standard Time). Standard Time is from November to March; Daylight Time is from March to November.
The other EST’s:
EST…..Eastern Standard Time…..Australia UTC + 10 hours
EST…..Eastern Standard Time…..Central America UTC – 5 hours
EST…..Eastern Standard Time…..Caribbean UTC – 5 hours
EST…..Eastern Standard Time…..North America UTC – 5 hours
GMT… Greenwich Mean Time, UTC… Converted Universal Time and Zulu (Z) is the same time everywhere. The scheduled 4:00 AM EDT time of the maintenance was 8:00 AM GMT. The maintenance ended up being between 5:10 AM EDT/9:10 AM GMT to 7:45 AM EDT/11:45 AM GMT.
As you can see, GMT is currently four hours ahead of the Eastern United States, will become five hours when clocks “fall back” on Sunday, November 6 at 2:00 AM across the Untied States.

Guess you missed the point.
When advising an outage would be best to advise which country the time is based on. Not everyone lives in the USA…..
You should probably clarify which countries EST….. The USA is not the only one that refers to EST time.

I thought EST is the same time in all countries
