Forum Chat Problems

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
okay so most of the shit is put back together. i'm sure there's bugs. let me know if you find any.

I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with the multiple rooms. I'm not sure what rooms I'm going to have. Give suggestions.

And no I don't think I can have sidebars in the second rooms. Rooms cannot have individual permissions. All the chat mod does is pull and assign numbers to messages based on the room. Room 1 is 1, Room 2 is 2, etc. Rooms do not exist as entities. They do not have names and have to be templated manually. There is nothing fancy about this change.

Have a deep thoughts room? That way if people just wanna sperg around in chat they don't have to see a wall of text about politics and stuff.

"Calm Down Time Room"
"Sperg Central"
"Your Opinion is Wrong Corner"
"Time Out Zone"


I kid. Because I really do like the idea of leaning towards almost temp chats that could steer specific discussions to them when needed. This could be for your "serious discussion", a livestream chat meetup, ect.
This is better than trying to split the userbase into smaller portions who would only squat in only one room over another. Having a bunch of general chats might do that over time as people start gravitating towards certain groups. Although, chat is so fast at sometimes it might be a good way to divide traffic.

Also "Supporters Chat" would be another incentive for people to buy supporter status.

I agree with supporters chat. The general chat is great idea too. But the second could be event specific say if a cow is here or if there is a chris video or jace stream so people can sperg about those without interrupting the flow of the general chat

One idea is just to have "Chat 1" and "Chat 2" as both general chats and see if people organically move when one room becomes full, preoccupied with one topic, etc., and people can move back and forth as desired.

The ability to turn off the sound notifications for new chat messages seems to be missing or unlabeled and the sound is annoying as heck.

This is honestly imo a better idea than having a bunch of chats on a specific set of topics.

It would probably easier to set up and work the bugs out of, too, at least for the short term. And it can always be added on to/made more specific later if it becomes apparent that it's desired after using the more simple version.
 
I don't think this experiment is working as the conversation is the same in both rooms (

Make it so you have to pay to post a message in chat.

Whenever I use the forum from my phone the chat just appears empty. Sometimes when I refresh it fixes it, but not always. This has only happened since the DDOS attacks, so wondering if it might be a Cloudflare issue?

image.jpg This has only happened twice and is easily fixed by refreshing the page, but occasionally the wow emote just shows up like this. Like I said, once I refreshed it was fine, I just found it odd.
Edit: also some of the avatars aren't showing.

This is because of Cloudflare's DDoS protection. No matter what domain you use to access the forums, smilies and avatars are from kiwifarms.net -- if Cloudflare hasn't issued you a security token (which you won't get from kiwifarms.net), then you'll see broken images.

This only happens during attacks.
 
Can't chat, says connected but says "failed to send message" anytime I try to say anything, I've yet to be able to chat since coming in here. On an android.
