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 2 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 2 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 2 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 2 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:

Chatbox bugs

Hello dear members

Here the improvement of bugs

Add Remove the new color picker = solved
Add Posts missing = solved
Add Error in function write_msg(). Can not insert message = solved
Add Chatbox empty = solved
Delete Auto-refresh = in progress
Delete Issues with archives = in progress
Delete Buttons are too white so invisible = in progress
Delete The color of the text is not the same as the color forum = in progress
Delete The color of members is black by default, so if the chatbox background is back members aren't visible = in progress
Add After logging out, the drag bar looks same = solved
Delete Sort alphabetically username = in progress
Add Some messages are missing after posting = solved
Delete Color picker not in pop-up but in JS as for the editor
Add Alignment problem of the "help" button under chrome = solved
Add The chatbox doesn't refresh when a user is just kiched = in progress
Delete Even if we are deconnected, we appear like connected= in progress

I will inform you as soon as I get news :rose:

Thanks for your help grrr!!!!!

Perms Note: when you report a new bug, please don't forget to post the url of your forum and a screenshot!! Thanks :rose:

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. Shit
New Chatbox - Page 2 We10
Give us an option that can be switch between versions, so we can choose a version that we want, instead of forcing Twisted Evil 
E.g:
New Chatbox - Page 2 We211
Issues:
Code:
- Message.user disappeared
- Online/Away users list are not display

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.

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

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.

Yep. Got the exact same. Like I suggested earlier, maybe just an option to disable the new beta-box.

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.

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?
