Title: Chat Box
Post by: Shwaggy on July 22, 2013, 04:47:19 PM
So ... added a chat box. If there's a lot of hate for it, we can disable it. I was on the fence for awhile but on our somewhat sister site iSOLEETED it does get used so maybe people will use it here.

It only shows up on the main page right now. I'm looking into changing that. Try the main page and try logging in/out.

Now it shows on the main forum index, and each forum/sub-forum but not in the threads themselves.

That is weird. I can see it fine and there's apparently no permissions issue. Well, I'll keep at it. Anyone who can see it please say so.

Looks like it's working now.

FYI - The chat is set to auto-reload every 10 secs. I can lower it if need be.

Nice, but when I write in it, it doesn't show up. Maybe that's by design....

You hit enter and the text you typed goes away but not into the box? After a reload?

Post by: Tentacle on July 22, 2013, 08:32:32 PM
Yeah it works for me now on the front page.

Oooppps, meant to keep an eye on the site and post when it started working but I has good excuse why I didn't.

I see it now :) Good work!

Phero, I'd try clearing your cache and logging out from the forum and back in. Maybe just deleting theisonews from your cookies as well to be sure. Make sure Chrome is up to latest. I'm using Chrome on Windows 7 and have not had any issues.

Why does isoleeted still exist?

"Hi there, we're the spin-off of a mainly dead forum, with the same colour scheme, a small subset of the same user base, and none of the original site's history. Enjoy your stay."

We've offered to have them merge back with us but JayRoe is his own man apparently. I agree that we should merge back together. Better to have one small community than two really small communities.

The split was so stupid, and action over here died down a lot when it happened, all because a few vain members wanted to update the forum to include images in their posts. Isoleeted just doesn't feel right to me.
Title: Re: Chat Box
Post by: Phero on July 25, 2013, 11:14:22 AM
Not much going on over there anyway, so yeah the only sensible thing would be to merge and have them come back to isonews.

Fucking chat is not working again for me. I type in the box, hit the button and the text just disappears.

Latest Chome here, Win7 x64. Just cleared history and all cookies.
Title: Re: Chat Box
Post by: Shwaggy on October 16, 2013, 08:15:28 PM
Still works here. Latest Chrome w/ AdBlock Plus. Windows 7 x64 fully up to date.

You don't have any Chrome plugins that might be causing the issue?

Maybe it's not auto-updating.

Or maybe you scrolled up, in that case, it doesn't scroll down automatically when you post a message, so you have to manually scroll down to see what you posted.

Nah, I tried scrolling and it wasn't that I couldn't see the text, it was never there. When the chat worked again I could scroll up and see my text was never received.  Thanks though.
