HI! chat room issue?

ferret_corner · Jun 2, 2009

I tried to access some chat room member profiles and nothing happened. I tried several member names that were in the room and no new page opened.

And yes the member was guaranteed present.

Works for me :/. I may reinstall the chat because of the member logout issue.

Also, who is " . "? They're now living in The Log after I tried to boot them.

Greatwtehunter · Jun 3, 2009

Just so you know, " . " has been an issue from time to time since before the server change.

Not sure if others are getting the same problem but when i log into the chatroom, i often see 'phantom' users. Their names are present on the chatters list but they are not logged onto caudata.

Also the chatters list shown in the chatroom does not match the chatters list shown on the forum.

I have noticed the same thing Rayson but the "phantom" users log off as the conversations goes on for me.

John · Jun 4, 2009

I haven't had time to look into this yet and it's not a priority for me.

Greatwtehunter · Jun 5, 2009

Just an FYI. Some users, myself included, have had trouble logging back into the chat. If you physically click the logout button instead of just clicking the X and closing the window it will prevent this issue and the issue with your name staying in the chat room.

Also,

Another way around this is getting a mod, to /kick *insert user*

Any chance of an ETA to when things will be sorted?

ITs not that bad, just inconvieniant

Regards

You're not helping. They shouldn't use kick, they should use kickout - kick just boots them out of the current channel into another.

No. The problem is there is only one of me and I have a very busy life

I can appriciate that.
As i said, not really a issue. I can just see n00bs getting confused by it all.

John, you are doing an awesome job, I cant imagine the stress of keeping all our users "happy".

I've done what I can to help with the problem. People are blocking popups from caudata.org which doesn't allow the logout script to run (it runs in that little popup box you see when you log out correctly).

blueberlin · Jun 8, 2009

But there are no other popups on the site, right? So it should be easy enough for the user to allow popups from here in the options settings for this website - right?

John · Jun 8, 2009

They don't need to worry about popups now.

Kaysie · Jun 8, 2009

Well, one issue down, but another's popped up.

I can understand censorship of inappropriate language, but such choice words such as 'classes' and 'cumin' (also referred to as coriander's cousin) and 'circumstances' have been censored...

John · Jun 8, 2009

Not exactly the end of the world.

Kaysie · Jun 12, 2009

No, but "Cl *****" just doesn't have quite the same connotation. lol.

Lacey · Jul 5, 2009

I just tried to log in and it said someone else was logged in with my name... I changed my name and put my password in but it dosent seem to help. Anyone know why this is?

Lacey · Jul 5, 2009

Found out why. If anyone else is having this problem, it's probably because you never logged out properly.
Thanks
