FranklinX 37 Report post Posted August 18, 2012 Nice update! I see can you're making progress. The new chat looks very nice. Keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted August 18, 2012 I am indeed :) I've got some nice plans for this chat too - I want it to be one of the fasted chat systems with member integration and bbcode loaded from a database, but at the moment this is just the base functionality. With regards to the GDU forums, I don't really want to mention this in case something comes up (like i forget to study for my mid-term in 2 weeks) but I'm planning to get testers onto it within the week and then hopefully open them by start of September. And of course I remember our deal, you'll be getting the PM once testing starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShinGamix 1 Report post Posted September 16, 2012 Chat was really buggy tonight for some reason. It kept kicking ppl or just stalling out. Maybe you was working on it. Hopefully that was the cause of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted September 17, 2012 One thing that is important to note is that there are going to be temporary bugs. Yesterday I did some one-off database clean-up stuff and during a log prune I must have accidentally exhausted a query limit and that took the forum offline for a while. So these temporary issues are going to go away and they arn't bugs with, for example, the chatroom. So unless it happens consistently within that component, then its not worth reporting. I really need to get an error page for these errors rather than a blank page. It's soemthing I have to code myself so it's another thing I have to find time for at some stage..

madanchi 18 Report post Posted September 17, 2012 This one is specifically within Chat. I kept on seeing double posts after around 20-ish minutes of being in the Chat. Had to go to forum index then into Chat to fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShinGamix 1 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 We could really use a "who is in chat" widget on the index. <---Hint Hint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 Yeah I know, that was mentioned in statuses twice. I already had a go at implementing this feature. DUDE, i just had an idea. This is for me to come back to after exams Hello future mark. Here's what you're going to do to show a count of users currently in chat globally on the wesbite -run an ajax call every 2 or so minutes from the chat page that inserts the existing user count variable into the database -in the template, run an ajax call, after the page has loaded (to preserve page speed) that fetches this number from the database and chucks it onto the chat tab in the main menu -there will be a 2minute lag but this negligible effect should be outweighed by efficiency -and dont forget to delete the html for old chat messages that are invisibly scrolling up - that makes the chat lag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

albertibay 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 No bugs here well there is a feature which annoys me. When I click a bb code in the bottom it is automaticly placed on the most right part of what your writing, instead of it being in the part where the cursor's at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 Ah yes, I'm well aware of that and I'll fix that up when the time comes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
