Solved New Chatbox

Post by Shadow February 4th 2015, 4:49 pm

First topic message reminder :

New Chatbox
Dear members

For few months, we had many problems with our current Chatbox. Many of you complained about the chatbox, that is perfectly normal! That's why, our technicians decided to rework all the chatbox!

There is no big design change, just few improvements Wink However, the code is not the same. It should solve all issues we had and you will enjoy chatting with your members New Chatbox - Page 3 Whistle

Of course, the chatbox is still is under beta tests. So, we might have some bugs with the chatbox. It would be wonderful you could report those problems so that we can improve the chatbox as much as possible Very good

In addition, we have a new command  /help so that you will know all the chatbox commands Wink You just have to enter /help or click on the following button:
New Chatbox - Page 3 Helpco10


Then, a popup will appear with an explanation of the commands. Those commands depend on your status and permissions on the forum:

New Chatbox - Page 3 135012

Now you can chat grrr!!!!!

The Godfather wrote:Hello,

We currently have a technical problem of very significant scalability CPU of the servers following an optimization of the chatbox to solve problems you reported on it for awhile. And to be honest, henceforth, the Chatbox uses the same technology as the notifications of the forum rather than sending constant requests.
This theoretically allows to considerably lighten the load and increase performance. We also have the opportunity to add a Help button that displays the commands in the chatbox to those who desire to know each according to their permissions.

We are working hard to find a viable technical solution to this rising burden though our local simulation were good, however, we are talking about millions of forums and only a full-scale test could allow us to make adjustments. :rose:

We are aware of the technical problems and inconveniences this causes. Nevertheless, you can imagine that if we could have done otherwise, we would have. We have a long night of work ahead of us, the pizzas are ordered and the coffeemaker is running at full speed so don't worry. New Chatbox - Page 3 1688815589

Certainly some malfunctions persist, but we're on it. Also, know that we are really far from the stage on these kinds of suggestions (why not give us the choice between such and such ... etc.) / Currently, the goal is to get you out a stable and functional chatbox. Wink

In this sense, we need your support and that this topic remains clean without reports that set us on the wrong track.

Wait for the green light for the new patch to be released to give us your feedback. However, at present, there's no need to post to say that you too have the same problem because we already know and that only extends this unique topic for nothing

After stabilization server load will be ok which will solve a lot of problems that you are currently experiencing.

Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for the inconvenience :rose:

Hoping you can help me out with a chatbox issue as it occurred during the time of the beta testing so I was wondering if it is related to this or something else.
Site using is: http://ftsl.canadian-forum.com/ and currently when I try to access the chatbox it is not available to us. It was working and then all of a sudden I disappeared and all members are reporting this too. I am also attaching a picture of where the chatbox normally is located. I even deactivated it and moved it to bottom of forum and back to the top again to see if it would return. So hoping for some possible help with this. (arrow indicates where chatbox normally would be located)

Personally, I liked the old chatbox better, it was much simpler to use and teach the members i got from Jcink and Proboards by explaining it and such. I understand that some people like the CSS deactivated for whatever reason... but I actually need it, as my chatbox is dark because that's how the site was, and some usernames are literally impossible to read. But what's the point of these codes if they don't even work anymore?

Code:
#chatbox_members a[href="/u5"]{
padding-left: 20px;
background: url("http://r16.imgfast.net/users/1615/38/05/36/smiles/866372557.gif")no-repeat left, url("http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/18/86/31/73/lllisa10.gif");}

http://www.unknownlandsrp.com/t48p15-welcome-to-the-chatbox#9518
Even my members have voiced themselves on a thread meant for just Chatbox conversations.

I understand this is betatesting... but I would have been nice to receive an e-mail ahead of time so the Webmasters would have known.

EDIT: And one of my most favored features is also not working... this being able to click a username and go instantly to their profile.

Honestly, this chatbox is even worse than Jcink Chatboxes.

After the second message everything gets stuck and freezes on all users. Can't even log out of chat no more and the archives don't respond. The only buttons still working are the ones in the smiley row on the bottom bar. Sad

It's been a while since I was forcefully downgraded to the standard FM chat box as an AWC user and I can't even remember what it looked like before, but since the engine's dead in both FM chat as well as in AWC I hope these problems get to be solved soon.

Just for comparison:
FM Chat now: http://prntscr.com/612xrv
AWC before it blacked out because of the FM chat update: http://prntscr.com/5t60my

I hope these technicians will work after hours CET and stand by as well, because looking at the time this got posted by Buttercup that was pretty much at the end of the working day. We got no prior notice about the update and I personally feel beta testing on everyone on FM is something that should be avoided.

There's probably no need to rehash what you've already heard, but yeah... The lag is really horrible in particular, and while I understand this is a beta test, our chatbox feels hardly functional. I can't say I really understand the change, because our box seemed just fine before.

I'm mainly posting to chime my voice in. An option to revert to the old box would be nice, or at the very least, an option to opt out of this beta test until this is less buggy.

Archives doesn't work anymore and I really hope we could get back automatic update button. We really need it, it's hard to read old messages when others are writings new all the time and chat always go back to start. And I have always hope people could write longer messages. We play RPG so messages are long and it's annoying when you have to send your RPG story in pieces. I know a lot of RPG forums and there's same problem. Thank you and sorry for my bad english! Smile

can I go ahead and switch my forum back to the old codes, we weren't having issues with the old chat format. This new chat format is horrible really it's just made more problems than it's fixed and the "problems" we did have before, like it taking a few moments for a message to pop up, are even worse. You're lucky now if your message even appears and it could take several minutes just for it to appear, it could appear right away like it should! you have no idea or way of knowing. We have no archives anymore, which we actually used quite a bit. I'm the founder/leader of a mass alliance of an MMORTS game and we use this forum chat for our communications, and have been since day 1 over 10 years ago. We've never had these issues before, and would greatly appreciate just plain and simply having our old chatbox format back.

Chatbox is the only place I am seeing problems at this time and from reading the other posts it seems to be mostly the same issues across the board.

I've already let my members now it is being worked on and have disabled the chat for the time being. I will try again in a couple of hours and see if anything has been fixed or updated by then.

I agree with a lot of the other people here. Can we please just have our old chatboxes back? Or at least the option to revert? I wasn't having any problems really with the old chatbox, and I just plain out don't like this new one. I liked having Archives that could refer back to, the one in the new one is useless. If I want to leave a message for others to see but they don't get on for hours after I was on, what good does that do me? Not only that, but we used some VERY specific colours for VERY specific reasons, and with the new way to choose colours, picking the same thing over and over again would be very tedious and unnecessary. Not only that, but the new just seems to not work, or not work as well overall. I've read every reply to this thread thus far and it seems more people hate it than like it. Please change it back.

I don't want to be a jerk on here man but I'm going to just come out and say it. Microsoft did the same exact thing with Windows Vista, the undoubtedly worst computer operating system in the world, ever. It's great that you guys want to get these issues resolved as fast as possible and get it out to your customers, some things just can't be rushed like that. Why not convert the chats back to the original codes, take this new code back to the alpha test and tweak it there. We know now you're working towards fixing the problems people have been having, right now the fix is a wrench thrown in the cogs.

Chat box totally unusable , nothing on it makes it better in any way, in fact options which were of benefit have been removed........now my members will drift off site again like they did a few months ago when we had chat box problems, after taking months to get back to normal.

My chat box plays a large part of the activity on my Forum, without it the site will go into decline.....

We cannot add anything to the chatbox as that is the Technicians work. Once the technicians are informed i am sure they will fix all the issues.
Also i would like to inform you that the technicians are humans also and they are not 24/7 online so a little bit patience would be nice. Wink

I am all up to date over on my end here. I have to say that I do like the color option (hex codes are not a big deal for me to remember) but everything else... Eh. The archives are very important for the cbox on my site as I like to know what goes on, if there is any misuse within the cbox, and many of my members rp their characters in there as well. Its good to be able to go back and see just exactly what happened if someone gets on the next day or later on that day. The autorefresh is another important option. Besides all of this, the cbox also tends to lose users' posts after they've sent them. I just experienced it over on my site where I had to resend a simple message nearly a dozen times before it finally went through. That is a HUGE issue. Who wants to sit here and continuously post the same thing over and over and who has time to do that? I don't mean to sound rude or anything and I apologize if I come off that way, I'm just frustrated.
