Chat Error Log - please log chat bugs and disconnects here

Post by Saint Kurt »

Folks who participate in chat a lot have been noticing two types of errors:

1) Chat redraws improperly with mysql server errors in one of the table cells
2) Chat will disconnect all the users in such a way that they don't know they are disconnected (ie it will suddenly go quiet - it's hard to tell if it's a lull in the conversation of if a disconnect has occured.)

If one of these problems occurs while you are in chat - please log it here. It will help us track down what is wrong and hopefully fix it.

And for those of you who haven't tried chat, don't be afraid to check it out. There have been some great conversations going on and a lot of fun. The more people who use it, the better it is and the faster we can track these bugs down.

Thanks for your help!

I have started to just mention the errors in the chat with the time they occur (my local time). and they are most defenitely occurring at the whole hour, but not every hour. It's odd. But they are all of the "server error" type mentioned above.

But- right now I'm getting an error I have not seen before.:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home2/nightscr/public_html/chat/messagesL.php on line 40
I have been kicked, and when I try to log in again I get:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home2/nightscr/public_html/chat/messagesL.php on line 40

any thoughts on this one?

It does work however- but I'm suddenly known as ElwingElwing. Never mind, it's probably just Hoodie working on the configuration!

Elwing, that was due to a hack I was working on; it was only while I was logged on and I was watching it. It should have been fixed shortly after you posted. :)

Thank you,

Hey, that was you! :P And eventually I'll ask the host about the top-of-the-hour loss of connection. We'll see what happens. I'm sure it's just some hourly thing that they do.

Thank you,
