HRm I must be losing my mind.

Oh well, reading the whole thread gave up the info I needed so either way I got it.

Hey, Paul...Last night I saw someone in the chat who wasn't there. When I looked at the db table today, they weren't even in the flashchat_users table. I apparently accidentally installed this in stateless CMS mode because the generic password worked for the admin panel (I've since changed the password), but my admin userid and password from the forums didn't. Anyway, any ideas what's going on?

Thanks!
Kathy

Kathy, you are not showing as having this installed, please click the link.

FYI - it won't work correctly unless you have it integrated - in stateless mode FC just assigns sequential userids to each new chatter, starting from 1 when you first install it.

Reading Helps, I fix my problem after reading all those dog gone posts. Im a getting better at it. My first days tho were hell. do U fill me? :tired:

./Flash <....

Sorry, Paul...I just clicked on install. I reinstalled it and am waiting to see if all is well. It's working for me and showing me in chat, so hopefully it's a go.

Thanks!

FYI, the older hack version 2.00 has been withdrawn, if you are still using an old version of Flashchat (3.9.x) then you can use version 2.20. If you have an older version than 3.9.x then I suggest you upgrade. :)

Ummm...a question, Paul? When I installed this, I completely skipped step 3 and it was still working wonderfully. After reading about buggy smilies in FlashChat, I upgraded to 4.0.12 and when I simply deleted old flashchat files and replaced them with new, I got a My SQL connect error...sorry, I can't tell you precisely what it was, something about couldn't connect with user name and password file inc/db.php. Anyway, since this message is coming from the forums home page, I didn't know if it was related to this hack or if it's a flashchat issue, but I figured I'd just ask both places. I undid the upgrade and am back to 4.0.9 and the message is gone, but I just don't know where to look for the problem.

Thanks!

Theres not really much I can tell you unless i see the error.

Step 3 makes sure you can connect to the correct tables in your database - did you make sure that the "pref" setting is correct in both versions - by default (in the downloaded FC 4.0.12 files) it is probably wrong. What is it set to in your 4.0.9 config.srv.php ?

Thanks, Paul. It's set to _fc_ in both files. Maybe late tonight, I'll put it back in long enough to copy the error message so you can see exactly what it says.

does anyone know why that if your in flashchat, your board runs sloooow. Its like you cant be in flashchat and on your forums at the same time, otherwise your internet seems like a 56k or something. Then once you log out of flashchat, your forums fly when you maneuver around them? Weird...
