My server is a dedicated Dell PowerEdge with dual 2 GHz Xeons, 1gig of ram, dual 73gig scsi drives and 2000gig of bandwidth. My home PC is a Dell Dimension 8200 Pentium 4 at 1.8GHz and 512Mb ram on cable modem.

This situation has happened to me a couple of times and I couldn't explain why. A Control F5 or Control R cleared the problem. while it was happening, it was like an automatic "Enter" key followed every word that I typed in the Post Message line. Later, it happened to another user and that is when I copied the flow of events posted above.

I will be alert next time, but fortunately it hasn't happened much. Hopefully, just an intermittant fluke. Otherwise, EXCELLENT!

New install of 2.2

IE window is huge and cannot be adjusted.

Mozilla works like a champ.

It's possible that one of your emoticons is incorrectly set up, check them out :)

As for a user being stuck, could you be more specific, they can just choose another chat room, IE: the default one.

@ oldengine - Server stats make no difference, i wouldn't of thought, in any case, thanks for letting me know, i look forward to squashing this bug :)

@ vauge - Full screen or bigger than your actual moniter?

- Zero Tolerance

It is using full screen in IE.

I checked them out and they all appear in the vbulletin control panel.

As for a user getting stuck, we only have one main chatroom right now and this guy hasn't been logged on for at least 12 hours but still shows up on 'users in vbchat" on forumhome. How can I clear this?

Was able to recreate the bug mentioned by oldengine.

It does not like ' or " ... then the next user will seem to press enter after every word or longer pause.

It's supposed to be full screen :)

Try editing one of your emoticons, so vBulletin re-builds cache. Also ensure your using the latest vBulletin version released.

As for the user been locked in, run this query:
[sql]delete from vb3_sessions[/sql]
Change "vb3_" to your SQL prefix.

So your saying when someone uses the word "or" in a sentance? I highly doubt it, what is entered has no effect on result, only if commands are entered.

- Zero Tolerance

installed as instructed in the options - upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2.

the window in IE is NOT adjustable, which was how i took it to be in the upgrade?

either way, its still full screen on my monitor 1280x1024 on a 19" tft.

not tested it in firefox as yet.
other than the window size problem, the hack is the dogs knackers m8

**EDIT**

checked it out in firefox, and the window opens up MAXXED out on the screen..ie, as if maximized.

Can you change it to allow resizing? Currently will not let me resize in IE.

No, I used the word 'costs' actually. Then it happened to him. He left chat and came back - I retyped my sentence and used the word 'costs' again. It happened again. It also happened with more than one contraction in a sentense. Single contraction in a sentence did not yield the error.

We chatted for about an hour previously, then about 20 mins after these apostrophe/quote tests without error.

In short, could dual apostrophe's or quote's cause the issue?

Could it be that this user has Javascript turned off and therefore the chat window opens and closes as a regular web page window? That would then defeat the chat log out?

ZT: I'll check the " " " " ' ' ' ' in the Post Message bar on my system.

EDIT: I entered all maner of " " ' ' ' " " cost's 'cost' etc. and all works fine. I was the only user, but anyway, no problems detected.
