Well boo. I see the same thing. Lots of liners still use that site.

I use Windows Chrome and have never seen this But I am now limited to 6 or less pages.

Passing along some info about this from the powers that be: Although Lines Chat is meant for communication within the Lines app, we expect there to be a way to access it via web browser in some form in the future.

To the "powers that be" aka @Len: advance notice would have been nice; and "in the future" is nebulous. Does it mean a few weeks, a few months, a few years? It has been clear for a while that m.touringplans chat has been having issues.

Oh no. That's how I access it at work too. Can't be on my phone too much - we're all in the same room. Thanks for the update @JJT!

Yeah, that big red box that randomly appeared on the page when you clicked the Chat link from the website was a little jarring.

I primarily access the chat from my phone or iPad, but when I'm distracting myself while working, use the website link.

Online, my "my chats " have not updated since July 2025. It has been supported up to now? Or is the message just new?

@Dell795 This is me speaking and not TP: Nothing has changed so far except the added message at top, which could be construed as advance notice. :) As I understand it, this mobile web version has been a remnant of the original system & has been..

..running in stasis for a long time. As an IT Director myself: sometimes old systems just cause trouble & need to be deprecated. They do have an alternative in the works.
9:11pm on 10/20/26 by
JJT (staff)
@JJT, I understand that it is an old system. As I remember it, it was built to run on multiple platforms. I would say to @Len that the red notice reads less as an advance notice but more as a scary warning to stop using it now. "Use at your own risk."
9:21pm on 10/20/26 by
Dell795
This is directed to @Len, not @JJT. The notice could have easily included some of the information you passed along, that a new method was being developed to access Lines from a computer, etc. That would have been much less jarring.

I preferred my computer to make a plan the app for everything else

I apologize for any confusion. That red message is meant as advance notice, and we will let you know when there is a specific end date. Right now m.touringplans.com performs as well (or as poorly) as it did last week.

I know that hardcode Disney fans who long for Horizons don't let go of things easily, but there will be changes to m.touringplans.com. We'll provide an alternative for Lines Chatting; it won't be the same, but it also won't be Mission: SPACE.

Will it be The NBA Experience?

Omg @david (and @fatty) I spit out my coffee. I personally don't really care too much about the interface. I just want to keep chatting with my friends and helping internet strangers love Disney as much as I do.

It's cleaner and easier to read on my phone than the app is. Guess I'm just going to have to get used to it :)

Promising a change that you may not like, but at least you won't get a massive headache and throw up, sounds more ominous than the red banner to me.

It would be appreciated if the upcoming changes could reflect the reasons so many of us prefer original format. That makes just too much sense.

I was a holdout for a long time so I get it. But I'd encourage you a to give the new app a try. Do it for at least a week. I no longer notice the garish colors and crowded interface. I just click to chat and most of chat is black and white. Nicest feature
10:34am on 10/21/26 by
evamarie320
is the OP appears on the screen while you type your response. So if you are of a certain age and get halfway thru your answer and wi der, wait did they ask x or y (lol), you can reread the OP. Second really nice new feature is that you can more easily

The current red box is way better and less intrusive than the big one yesterday! Thank you for fixing that aspect of it.

I finally updated because my Forum was unusable and Chat was lagging. It's easier for me now. I don't use a desktop. Ipad and phone. Do love seeing OP. Yup that's me too

I'm at work now with fingers crossed I didn't just shut down the company with a virus by being on lines. ;) By "we recommend you migrate to the touring plans website." That's how I got here. Chat is an option on the touring plans website. I guess they...

Not sure I'm understanding you @ popup. But if ur at the TP website there are links for both Forum and Chat.
12:31pm on 10/21/26 by

Correct. The warning on chat online says to use the touring plans website. Which I did. To get me to chat. Which told me to use the website.
12:47pm on 10/21/26 by
popupcamper
Maybe I'm missing something but I didn't think there was a way to access chat from
https://touringplans.com/
Only the older site correct?
I'm now app only. I use dark mode and have several other features selected to keep my phone from burning through***

*** my retina. lol. I'm only using the old site when the app is glitching

Yeah, the regular TP website has a link to chat. You follow the link and the red box appears at the top now.

In a related matter of high Liner interest, the McRib is back today, in S.E. PA locations. It looks like it's soon to arrive at the McD's by the All-Stars, as it's on the App at that location (but not active). Can we get a Red Banner Alert for @Fatty?

(@Popup: thanks for the link. we needed that. glad to see it's still operating (even if it is only on the Internet)) :-)

I can't believe I'm just realizing it was accessible from there. Head slap. I was jumping through hoops to get there years ago so I made a link on my home page to get there.

Testing 1-2-3. Posting from the App (for the first time in years). I know it works. Someday, I'll do it again, when they pry m.touringplans.com from my cold dead index fingers.

Well it's the end of the day and so far my computer continues to work. Fingers crossed! I'm the last one in the office so if I just bankrupted us I'll be the last to know!

Please remember that some of us first used the telegraph and pony express to communicate so, without a clear bullet list of steps to deal with these newfangled devices, we will be panicking if not first warned.

The scary banner still appears when you go through the Hamburglar Window on the Touring Plans website to get here.
