Update on bug
 

ZT, one of my users, who got this problem twice tonight, is using a Pentium 4 at 2.6 MHz. Hardly a slow machine.

But, I need to do the changes in those templates, maybe that will have an effect.

I'll keep you posted.

Alright thanks man.

It should help, the browser won't throw a fit now only 1 iframe is been refreshed, so hopefully it will atleast narrow the bug down to fewer users/happening fewer times. :)

Just finished all the changes, that darn chat_upage got me some funny moments, but all is working OK now.

One question, can you post a link inside a message ? I mean can one post a link and the program to recognize it and post it as a link in the message area?

Currently all links parsed open in new windows, but it would make sense to make sure all vBChat.php links open in the same window, i'll stick that in my next version :)

What do you have to put in the front, in order for the program to undestand that this is a link? I tried typing the URL, but it didn't understand that. I tried adding the word url in square brackets, nothing.

As for the bug:

It happened again, so it was not the template changes that caused it. Now everything is per your latest release. The user is the same as before, he is using a Pentium 4 at 2.6 and the browser is IE version 6, while he is using Windoze home edition (Whatever that is). XP?

Well if you enable BBCodes, it will parse them. I'll just make an edit to the bbparsecode.php for when parsing emails, if your inside vBChat and the url is for vBChat, it will change the URL outputted.

As for it happening again, darn, but does it happen as occasional as before?

Hmmm, I'll check the bbcode thing. As for the bug, the guy who had this problem didn't stay long after the last happening, so I can't tell if the occurence frequency is the same or not. However, it is not something we can easily spot. I mean there are at least 10 people in my chat gang, that are using the same setup, IE 6 and P4, but I am not sure if this is a Windows issue. With so many patches and upgrades around, who knows what it can be. One of my users started getting the bug when his IE installed an automatic update a few days ago. Until then, he was working fine. I steered him towards Firefox and he never had a problem again.

Until later partner.

Indeed, this bug is definatly getting right on me nerves, i was thinking perhaps change the 8 second delay refresh rate to 10 seconds, this may help it further. But if i can find alternate ways then that would be the best path to take.

Thanks for all the information on this, its appreciated :)

The stuttering bug is really driving my users nuts. Wish I could find a common cause or recreate it but i can't. I am using 2.3 and it still happens.

Take a look at your data through phpMyAdmin or otherwise. I think that you might find the dreaded apostrophe just before it happens:

13189 121 Evenin'! 1109729878 0 0
13190 8 I hope I find some bits and pieces at the show. 1109729878 0 0
13191 121 Well, 1109729882 0 0
13192 121 Well, the 1109729883 0 0
13193 121 Here we go AGAIN! 0 0

I have my users clued in about using CONTROL R to refresh.
