New Chatbox
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 However, the code is not the same. It should solve all issues we had and you will enjoy chatting with your members 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 In addition, we have a new command /help so that you will know all the chatbox commands You just have to enter /help or click on the following button: Then, a popup will appear with an explanation of the commands. Those commands depend on your status and permissions on the forum: Now you can chat Forumotion |

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.
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.
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.
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
Chatbox bugs |
Hello dear members Here the improvement of bugs Remove the new color picker = solved Posts missing = solved Error in function write_msg(). Can not insert message = solved Chatbox empty = solved Auto-refresh = in progress Issues with archives = in progress Buttons are too white so invisible = in progress The color of the text is not the same as the color forum = in progress The color of members is black by default, so if the chatbox background is back members aren't visible = in progress After logging out, the drag bar looks same = solved Sort alphabetically username = in progress Some messages are missing after posting = solved Color picker not in pop-up but in JS as for the editor Alignment problem of the "help" button under chrome = solved The chatbox doesn't refresh when a user is just kiched = in progress Even if we are deconnected, we appear like connected= in progress I will inform you as soon as I get news Thanks for your help Note: when you report a new bug, please don't forget to post the url of your forum and a screenshot!! Thanks |

Re: New Chatbox
is some of this a browser issue?
I am using IE and nothing refreshes, but the other Admin, the site owner uses Google Chrome and they are having no issues with refreshing.

Thank you, @SLGray I am used to him. He somehow pops up in ever FM Forum I'm a part of, even now the Support Forum. He has quite a long history harassing myself and my staff members.SLGray wrote:This was not called for.

Re: New Chatbox
What a great new update!
But,may i ask a question? Is there anyway to revert chatbox back to the old chatbox? We didn't have any problem before and personally I prefer the old one. CSS' not my problem, but the style.
Give us an option that can be switch between versions, so we can choose a version that we want, instead of forcing
E.g:

Re: New Chatbox
I believe the Manager @SLGray just told you to cease. Whynter is my Head Administrator and has the right to be here like you or me. Please stop.Kuriboo wrote:Eugeo Ayano wrote:Thank you, @SLGray I am used to him. He somehow pops up in ever FM Forum I'm a part of, even now the Support Forum.

Re: New Chatbox
Must you follow me to every forum I register in? Look bother me anywhere. But at least respect this place. It's a serious forum regarding support, coding and many other things for FM.
Grow up and have a nice day.

Re: New Chatbox
In most of all forums that I've stayed today. They all have problems to send messages and they don't were shown in the chatbox, when I did the clear, some messages appeared for a short time and after that, returned to fade.
Re: New Chatbox
Problems I had were that now the chatbox is terribly slow, logout button barely works, if you are logged out you can't see who is in the chatbox (only above the chatbox http://gyazo.com/715257c7325e069973092723865715a4 ), you can't see what you are typing (only red lines appear to mark a spelling error http://gyazo.com/641a4aebc595952676211158a25fff95 ). Furthermore it seems like the font name has changed, the names that are listed under 'online' are now much thinner, and the 'Auto refresh [ ]' disappeared.
Maybe make us able to use the older chatbox as well, and use only a few forums as bèta platforms? My members & I don't really like it.

This is not the place for a flame war. Please take this discuss to private messages or off the support forum. There is no need to reply to this post. If you continue, you will be warned.Kuriboo wrote:i was not told to cease

Re: New Chatbox
Hey, thought I'd share some of the bugs I encountered. When clicking on Archives, this happens => http://pokit.org/get/?3a455ac9cce4a024d8903e31b7420bd7.jpg and then it returns to normal.
I used a glow code for my name and it doesn't display in the chat => http://pokit.org/get/?08c6b7a843a7ac938e204f9f4b920365.jpg , Chatbox => http://pokit.org/get/?cf4c3c4133a47ccbc2dda4e9cf71470a.jpg

Re: New Chatbox
We've been having a few problems on my site as well:
- If you're logged out on the chatbox, you can't see the names of anyone who is logged in.
- There is a terrible lag, sometimes it takes a good 15 minutes for messages to show up.
- The help box lags terribly as well.
- CSS no longer works.
- Autorefresh has gone
- Messages get posted, then vanish again a few seconds later.
Both myself and my forum members are having these issues.

Re: New Chatbox
Yep. Got the exact same. Like I suggested earlier, maybe just an option to disable the new beta-box.Emrys wrote:We've been having a few problems on my site as well:

Re: New Chatbox
As an admin, I very much like to see the archives to make sure no bullying, or disallowed material is being posted in the ChatBox. Please can you fix the archives as soon as possible so that I am able to keep my site safe for all.
Re: New Chatbox
or you know they could just like actually test a beta chatbox before rolling it out nationwide and causing mass fuckery , youd think problems like these would be easy to spot
Re: New Chatbox
The chat is completely unusable for everyone at my forum. This still needs some serious work, or go back to the old one. Like, it's so bad that out of 10 messages of mine only 1 got posted.

Re: New Chatbox
See if this fixes some of the issues: turn off the chatbox and turn it back on.

Re: New Chatbox
I need help as well! My chatbox keeps forcefully shutting down because my browser detects a security threat from the chatbox. Earlier I was also experiencing a syntax error. My browser is the official Wii U browser. My forum is located here: http://wwwWiiWareWave.com

Re: New Chatbox
A lot of chatbox's Javascripts stopped working. Why does Forumotion rarely update things so that they would be compatible with older versions?

Re: New Chatbox
That could be a lot of it. Old versions of browsers.
Not everybody keeps up with installing the new, crappier versions of Internet Explorer or whatever.
I'm not gonna expect or require my membership to upgrade.

Re: New Chatbox
Everyone needs to understand that it is still in beta testing, so there could be bugs/issues. That is the reason why we asked you post your issues here.

Re: New Chatbox
With all respect, I like the fact that you test something new but the thing is: it is a bèta test. Why not let users sign up for a beta test or let them choose between the new & old chatbox?SLGray wrote:Everyone needs to understand that it is still in beta testing, so there could be bugs/issues.

Re: New Chatbox
It's nice to have an option the user can alteration what is written and can be deleted only separate opinion in the chat.
Re: New Chatbox
Logged in to chat box, cant post and cant log out........no Archives and no auto refresh, was having no problems with the chat until now........

Re: New Chatbox
I do want to know if the glows disappearing is a bug or was it removed intentionally? .. I do have a special rank that is different from other ranks because of its glow so it'd kind of ruin the idea for the glow to be removed from the chat.
Re: New Chatbox
It automatically delete all posts after one hour. It only shows posts from last hour, the rest...gone, could not archive either
