Chatroom Weirdness?

[Homer]

... I have noticed the chat function on here has been a bit iffy with users inside. Either it lists 6 members inside when there are only 2 usernames (see attachment) or it lists users that are not even in there.

 

I have cleared my caches/temp files and cookies a few times and still get this problem. Am I the only one with this problem, or is anybody else getting this glitch?

Now with British Porn Star idle action!

^ LOL! I noticed that a few minutes ago, I wasn't in there at the time you took that screenshot!

 

Been doing it to me too, the other day it listed 9 members when there were only 3 or 4 in there. I've also noticed that when I log in, it sometimes says I've arrived and then left straight away, when I'm still there! I'm starting to feel like I have multiple personality disorder.

^^ Yeah, I have noticed that, too! But it never disturbed me!

I noticed as well...I yelled at robb about it, we'll see what he comes up with!

I think it's just a bug with the chat room mod. It's done that since day 1. The "who's online" bar on the front page updates once every 5 minutes while the chatroom software updates every 5 seconds.

 

So there will probably always be a little bit of discrepancy in it.

 

Most of the time though, if there are a lot of people in the chat room (10 or more) there will show a lot of people on the "Who's Online" bar.

 

Use it as a gauge of approximately how many people are in chat, not necessarily the exact amount.

if you are away i think it hides your name from the list.

What I found more was that the chat would hang on me quite often.

 

After a good hour it would stall, stuck on refreshing. I'd then have to close it down and reopen the chat to get it to work again.
