Hi, my xbox won't let me connect to party/chat?

I'm having these same issues right now. Game chat works fine but as soon as I get into any party, it won't let me switch to "Party Chat". It's like it's stuck in Game Chat & won't allow a switch over to Party Chat.

I got the new update, the friends list and party chat are different. I was trying to get into the forum for the preview but I couldn't.

Only problem I am having is that i can't connect to a party chat with anyone who doesn't have the update as well...aka all my friends. It won't let me join their parties and they can't join mine as well.

it won't let you connect to live while play an original xbox game. so you can't even go to party chat.

i'd wish it did though.

I'm on Xbox live but it won't let me talk or join parties it says connection lost but I run the test for my connection and everything is fine?? Help

I have a different problem with the party app. Me and my friend joined a party and it said he was connecting and then we left the party and then it had an x on his name when we came back to the party and we couldn't hear each other, then now it won't even
let him invite me to the party.
