- Last year, XenForo banned us from renewing our license with them.

- I am developing our own forum software in Rust.

- Since 2013, I think I have written 4 different chat mods from scratch for 3 different software suites. Our chat works very independently from the main forum.

- To encourage production and interest in the new forum software, I have shimmed a new websocket based chat from it.

It's very new and I may turn it off and people hate it that much, but it definitely runs very fast, which I like. Any improvement on this chat will also benefit the new codebase when/if we ever switch over, which is also nice.


Keep in mind, when you complain. the hardest and least productive (long-term) things to do and add involve XF compatibility. This means custom emote support, XF-specific bbcode, @ user tagging, etc.
 
i need the emojis to express myself, nool. it's imperative that i express my autism in pictures,
 
It's way faster than the old chat in terms of refresh rate, which is very nice. Does that make it harder on server resources?
 
It would be good to have the chats work in the background while switching so that you can check up on the history of one chat while browsing the other.
 
[img] tag embeds images directly from source, without media proxy, meaning you could log IPs of everyone who is logged in and opens the chat or main page.
 
Perhaps when you switch tabs, it should head to the bottom of the chat in the new tab.

It would be consistent with how the initially-loaded chat goes to the bottom.

Given it's websockets, rather than a bazillion http requests every minute, I'd believe the load is much lower on the server end. It's definitely lower on the client side.
 
Colored names would be nice. Just use the colors from the old chat for reference, unless you want to change them.

no, other way. ajax based polling via php is a monster.
 
Please make the chat you're in highlight the appropriate tab when you get a chance.

I don't know where I am and that can be very scary. What if I wander into the lion's den (read: the Beauty Parlor) by mistake?!

Forgot to mention that part. I am logged in, this post is made in the same session I tried to post in the new chat from. JS enabled/disabled, Safer/Safest browser profiles inside TBB. All behave the same way.

You are doing something which prohibits cookies via iframe.
 
Haven't been able to figure out what breaks, so here are my headers. Hopefully they help someone.

TL;DR Only Sec-Websocket-Key and no cookie on the WSS connection. Is it a websocket thing and it's normal or is this where things fuck up?
 
In their respective subforums (Beauty Parlour, DSP, and so on) the chat can't be interacted with. Neither expanding chat or writing messages from there are possible.

It works, I'm retarded. You do need to click on the upper bar, previously clicking anywhere on the chat expanded it.
