WTF kind of bug is that!? Anyone else having this issue?

Page jumping while in the middle of typing?

Its happened to me twice now. Both times while I was in the middle of typing a long post, suddenly the page jumps like i hit the back button a few times or clicked a random link. I can't even really describe what happened. Just suddenly I'm on a page I wasn't on!!

Extremely irritating. The first time I bothered to re-type it assuming I accidentally hit something on my keyboard. It just happened to me 30 seconds ago while I was responding to your advertising question.

It *may* be because you were working on the database at that moment? I'm not sure.

Any chance it was caused by me sending you a message on the chat? Might have grabbed focus?

I suppose... I never saw a chat. But if that's the case, then it not only grabbed focus, but also took me somewhere I was at rather than where I was at the moment!

On the footer of the forum page is a chat bar.

Not sure why it did not work for you.

Oh ok, was not aware. That sounds like fun.

I will add you to my friends list. I believe that is what is required first so that invites to chat rooms can happen.

Sorry J. you are not allowed. HA lol
Near the top, 3 lines down click on user control panel. Then select "friends and foes" tab. Then carefully enter the username in the add box, then click submit.

Then when a chatroom is created, you can then select from that friends list to invite them to a conversation. This last part I have not done successfully yet because my 2 friends are not online! :cry:

You can also initiate single chats and play games :)

I'm thinking that chat function - while cool - is far too problematic to bother with if its kicking people off the page they're on. I mean SERIOUSLY annoying when you've spent half an hour typing and suddenly you lose it forever.

Its happened to me on both Chrome and IE. I hate FF so please don't consider that a "solution".

I can disable for a while - to check if it is the source. At the moment we are assuming it is - but that is only a guess.

I use chrome - and have never had an issue so not 100% sure it is the source.

Steve, Can you confirm. Do you even see the chat bar at the page footer?

If you can.. Can you mark yourself as 'offline'.

Just want to do some basic debugging before we take a knee jerk reaction to the problem :)

Yes, I can see it. Probably always could - just didn't notice it or know to look for it. I've now set myself as offline.

You can also click that persons name on the left side of one of their posts and then click friend or foe towards the top center.

I have made some adjustments to the chat system - essentially making it more 'light weight'.

Lets keep monitoring it :D

That complete chat system is as expensive as useless, sorry. I really regret that I can't say anything positve on that - your money has been wasted.

The bar is now MUCH SMALLER.

It is located at the bottom right of the screen - and only allows you to do PM messaging.

Strange. Are you on a pc/mac?

I have enabled an option to disable it on buggy browsers - so may be something to do with that.

I can see it fine on ie, firefox and chrome!

Unfortunately not.

The chat system is commercial software so I can't modify the code :(
