Hi Paul,

I'm running FlashChat v4.3.3 (which has been gradually upgraded from an old FC 3.X version) with your FC integration hack (version 2.45) on vB 3.5.0. I am running version 4.10 of this hack, which I upgraded from a previous version. Anyway, I have an occassional problem with the members in chat display on the ForumHome page, which may or may not be due to what you mentioned in the quoted text below.

When I enter the chat, my nickname is correctly displayed on ForumHome. Similarly, when I leave FC and it logs me out, ForumHome correctly displays that there are no chatters. However, sometimes there will be a single user that appears on ForumHome as a member in chat (before I enter). When I enter chat, that user appears in the FC list (in other words, the user's name appears on ForumHome AND in FC). However, when I log out of FC, the number of chatters on ForumHome becomes 0, meaning that the other chatter who was initially appearing on ForumHome before I entered chat is no longer listed. When I reenter FC, that user is not there, as he or she was when I initially entered FC. Additionally, I question whether or not the user was actually there when I first entered FC, even though the nickname appears on ForumHome and in FC, because your Most Ever Chatters hack (version 2.03) displays '1', even though FC shows me and the other user when I initially enter FC. If another user was truly in chat, and I enter, then that should obviously be 2. Any help on this is appreciated - hope that wasn't too confusing!

Always log out using the red (top right) logout button. If you just close the browser then flashchat will try and run a pop-up to log you out - but browsers other than IE (such as firefox) block this.
