The chat has latency. Many are complaining.

Re: Site upgrade bug reports
another suggestion, if possible I think it would be better if people had to type in a name of some kind before entering chat.

I vote leave forced login out. People may have a reason for choosing not to do so.
That being said, I echo Xana's chat complaints. I miss my private tabs!

Re: Site upgrade bug reports
just to be clear I dont mean forced login like you have to type in your username and password, but so you have to type in a name, any name, pretty much like how it was before.

Re: Site upgrade bug reports
So basically we're saying... we want the old chat back. With a black background.
We are all books containing thousands of pages and within each lies an irreparable truth.

I believe that is the general consensus. It was actually better, as was concluded with the consensus.Xanatos wrote:So basically we're saying... we want the old chat back. With a black background.
Re: Site upgrade bug reports
So let me get this straight:
1) the old chat sucks (http://nightops.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1544)
2) the new chat sucks
A new style for pfc ain't gonna happen. Seriously, download the 1.x source code and look at the php scripts which generate the css. What a clusterfuck. We'll have to do something else. Any ideas? I'd still rather we use IRC. Any web irc client could handle multiple channels, but would probably lack polish. That being said, a real irc client could be used to restore the premium chat experience...

Re: Site upgrade bug reports
Let's do that. I don't need super pretty, I just would really appreciate not having to hit the whisper button any time I wanted a private conversation. When I inevitably forget to click it things get confusing fast...Secant wrote:So let me get this straight:

Re: Site upgrade bug reports
IRC it is, then. Let me see what I can do...
Re: Site upgrade bug reports
OK, demo IRC server set up at:
irc://192.241.248.144:6667 #TheLounge
For now, you'll need an IRC client to connect, but I will set up a web-based client at some point. As this is just a demo, encryption is not configured - treat it as such. Please report issues in this thread.

Re: Site upgrade bug reports
Web client is available at:
http://192.241.248.144:9090/
http://192.241.248.144:7778/
Give it a whirl and let me know if it has all the features you want.

How do we sign in to the bloody thing? I've never used IRC before.

Re: Site upgrade bug reports
Go to http://192.241.248.144:9090/ and put the nickname you want in the box. This chat is not tied to the forums, so you can use any nick you want. In the channels box, put "thelounge" then connect. You can private-message another user by typingXanatos wrote:How do we sign in to the bloody thing? I've never used IRC before.
Code: Select all
/msg <nick> <message>
Code: Select all
/list
Code: Select all
/join <room>
EDIT: If you want to get someone's attention, say their nick in the chat. Most IRC clients will flash or make noise when that happens.
Re: Site upgrade bug reports
Neat.
You can use 192.241.248.144:9090/?channels=#thelounge to have the field prefilled.
I've just now discovered the joy of Kiwi IRC (.com). I never have need of a web client, but you might look into it if you want something with a bit more polish.

Meet me down by the railroad track.
Re: Site upgrade bug reports
A better web IRC client (Kiwi IRC) has been set up. Please give it a try if you were unimpressed with the web client posted earlier:
