Could you make it so the extra chat stuf is only in the forums and not the threads, it slows it down to much even with a fast conection.

**-Jrabbit** · September 19, 2002, 14:40

Weird. I chatted a bit, exited, ran through a couple Poly forums, then was hitting the back button. Very surprised I dropped back into Chat - in real time - and moreso to see that it was in a much bigger typeface. Strange. Then I was suddenly dumped to the "please register" page. Strange.

I guess there's a bug or two.

Is this silly chat the thing that has slowed the forums? Get rid of it.

**DaShi** · September 19, 2002, 15:54

Yay! All the bugs of chat, but in the forums now.

I've noticed a slow down as well.

The chat also bumps threads an extra page when the page limit is reached so when you click on the last page of a certain thread, you see no responses but the unrelated chat.

not exactly but it has been fixed

as any developer will tell you, bugs happen

How much is this affecting load times today? Or is that have more to do with the MOO3 contest and extra people on ACS?

I just see it being abused too much without a big gain in having the chat rooms last words posted on the top of the site. But it has led to more people in the chat room and if Markos thinks that will help income., good luck.

if you notice the "users online" numbers on the front forums page todat we have constantly 70-100 more people than usually

Opera 6.04: an empty box...
IE 6: can read the conversation but can't send replies...

Any chance we'll get an IRC chat channel again?

Lol, the insightful comment at the top of this page is:

[19/09|18:10] i

But I'm willing to give this thing a try.

check to see if opera has any javascript options...

IE 6: can read the conversation but can't send replies...

again see if you have anything related to javascript disabled

ie5.5 works fine...

Good feature.

Drop in. Post something vaguely salacious. Watch attendance level soar.

**MarkG** · September 20, 2002, 08:23

bug causing you to loose some of the messages, is now squashed

**Capt Dizle** · September 20, 2002, 08:39

Login to site, notice sluggishness. Read thread where Mark denies new chat is culprit. Not surprised.

**Level** · September 20, 2002, 11:03

In the chat archive why are there pages -1, -2, -3?
