Hi Jan
No, nothing has been compromised. This was an update that I did on my software (just like your computer has updates periodically) to improve the performance. This has to be done whenever the companies do updates to the software that I use.
When updates on software are done it may make other features quit working because they also have to be updated.
I think I have updated everything, but I might have missed something as this is a very complex website.
The only reason I alerted everyone is because while it was updating any comments or new posts would not be saved.
The only reason my stomach was upset is because if the update caused a lot of problems then I would be facing hours of fixing it.
I just checked my chat and it is working. You might try restarting your computer and then sign back in and see if the chat is working. If not, let me know.
JoAnn
