Hum, for how long had you been inactive ? (so that I can test)
Well I thought it was just being inactive, but I got a PM from one of my members today, saying that it would hang every 15 seconds for her, no matter what she was doing. She said if she was chatting in the actual box, then it might give her 15 minutes.
For me it does hang every once in awhile if I'm sitting on a page, it happens different times.
Oh and is the chat box suppose to follow you onto User CP and "Who is online now" area? because it isn't following me there, but I see it on the forums and threads.
I asked my members if they had a problem with the CB to please let me know, well one member posted this... If I get anymore I'll let you know.
The only problem I myself is facing is it does freeze once in awhile, as I've said above.
Quote:
I can't use the chatbox in IE. Not IE 6, 7, OR 8. This is because the chatbox slows the entire thing to a crawl sometimes, and also if you try to type in the chatbox, the text goes so slowly that long after I'm done typing I'm still waiting for the text to appear in the typing box! By the time all my text is done typing itself out, the conversation has moved on, LOL
The refresh thingy in IE is severely broken and "hangs". It doesn't cause the site to hang, it just stops refreshing, and so in order to keep up with the conversation in the CB, I'd pretty much have to just sit there hitting the refresh key all day.
I'm getting "blank messages" from people showing up in the CB, I already sent you a screenie of that.
In firefox the CB seems to run as normal, except I do get the refresh issues happening now and again without reason.
And this is one issue she was talking about a screen shot
