Web based chat
« on: August 11, 2013, 04:03:42 am »
Join me in testing this out:

Use your forum credentials. I just threw this together today, so I want to see how resilient it is.

I couldn't read what I wrote or your response; it just had a line including my username and then a small blank line underneath.  Although I could read the first message you sent.  I'll try again later today.  Thank you for creating this!

There was a bug that broke it in Firefox. It's fixed now.

Logged in just now and saw your messages.  Glad it's fixed.

Attempting to log in just bounced me back to the login page with no indication of why—I allowed the session cookie through, so it isn't that, but I can't tell whether it doesn't like NoScript, doesn't like TOR, or I simply flubbed the login due to a typo. I don't expect you to accommodate my weird taste in browser setups, but a little feedback on what happened (or a "this chat needs Javascript" notation, if that's the problem) would be nice.

That just means an authentication failure. I haven't implemented any error messages for that yet.

I had to make some quick changes to fix input submission on Internet Explorer. I also streamlined the deployment using git, but it'll take an hour or so from the time of this post for the DNS changes to occur.

Well, it's been running all week without crashing. How's about we all agree on a time and date for a little chat room party?

I'll be here all weekend. Just to throw out a time... how about tomorrow around 8-ish?

I assume you mean 8 pm.  XD

I'll be available a bit after 8 (maybe about 9ish central time).

Whoops! Yeah, night time 8, not morning 8. Central time for me too. I'll stay on the chat for a while tonight to see who pops up.

Hey, did anyone have any technical problems with the chat the other night?

For some reason my first message didn't show up when I was using Firefox, but I switched over to Chrome and I could see everything I sent.  Other than that, the chat worked fine.
