Tinypic.com useless to International users

Posted on by

Outrage seems to be the general consensus over Tinypic.com‘s move to ban international users from both uploading and viewing any images hosted on their servers.

For a few weeks now several users had communicated to me that they were having trouble seeing xat backgrounds hosted on Tinypic.com. I shrugged if off as a glitch on their end as I myself, being based in the USA, couldn’t replicate the problem. Today it seems that those same users are now seeing the following message:

tinypic international users

Clearly Tinypic has shut down it’s service to international users and is now directing those same users to Photobucket. For the rest of us, please be advised that since this is a “social community” although you may see your chat background, xat tutorial, or any xat related image, other users may not.

We recommend ditching Tinypic altogether and finding another Tinypic alternative. Please spread the word to as many people as you can.

Xatworld – new stuff :)

Posted on by

We’re trying out two new things on Mundoxat.com; if they work out, we’ll move them on over here as well… they are… *drumroll please*…

1. A flag generator (yeah, raise your hand if you know what Botswana’s national flag looks like. Mmmhmm, didn’t think so. This should help with that)

2. A background tester. Hmmm… well, you upload a background URL, click a “cargar” button (means load btw) and then use a color picker to pick out just the right button colors. Useful? Well, we’re not sure… someone asked for it and it’s certainly easier than entering the chat admin, pasting the code, saving the page and previewing the changes each time :)

Thanks people! :)

New Kiss Preview and Practice Range

Posted on by

We’ve just finished up and are ready to debut our new, user suggested (thanks DontDenyYourLove!), Xat Kiss generator.

With it we hope that everyone will more thoroughly understand how Xat kisses work, what some of the kiss options are, and  just how cool they really can be. We also see this Xat Kiss generator as a good tool for experimenting with pull, bugs, and globe type kisses to see which Xat smileys are currently functioning and which aren’t. In our testing, we’ve concluded that IF it doesn’t show up on the Xat kiss generator, it will not show up in a chatbox (see below).

We’ve all seen these spaces before…

Turns out that if you choose to send a Kiss to someone and choose a smiley that isn’t visible, you get this (someone please correct me if I’m wrong)…

Using the Kiss generator you could check firsthand, before purchasing a kiss, if your particular smiley choice was working or not. Good? We hope so!

Special thanks to DontDenyYourLove for the idea (submitted to us via the Xatworld Idea Factory page). He will be getting a $10 Ultimate game card code for helping out.

Complete list of every official Xat avatar – This time for real! ;)

xat avatars

Great news! A few people turned us on to a goof on our part; namely that although we *thought* there were only 1000 avatars, there are in fact more… 1759 to be exact (that includes Avatar “0″). Even better news, we now have all of them accounted for, including the three “missing” avatars. Yay for that!

Now the seemingly bad news. The file size has roughly doubled :) So, be forewarned that you’ll be loading roughly an 800k image.

Hope that helps someone out there.

Special thanks to Fleury7469, Viren, and Xavier for pointing out that there were in fact more avatars out there.

Xat Powers Nick Generators

Posted on by

We’ve added two more Xat powers nick generators to our website. Our intent is to place everything on one page and have that page dedicated to powers nick creation.

We already have the Nameglow generator, and now we’ve added two more; a Beam and Anime nick generator.

Give each of them a look. They’re meant to take the hassle and guesswork out of creating colored nicks using the most common Xat powers.

xat avatars

Born of our own frustrations, we’ve taken on the task of compiling a complete list of every Xat avatar that exists (ummm, minus 3 oddball avi’s that for some reason just don’t want to play nice) and placed them all on one page.

Below each avatar is displayed its corresponding avatar code which, as you know, can be used directly on Xat.com; this is especially good for you non-subscribers as you will no longer have to play the “avatar lottery” to find that Bart Simpson that you accidentally passed by; grrrrrrr!
