The new chat room...

[techy]

Solution for the logout errors! Disable your popup blockers on 'cyberjamz' and let the "logging out of chat" window log you out properly so if you have to get back in, it will issue you a new session instead of trying to connect to the old one.

how come it shows 'undefined' on both sides of someone's name when responses pop up? also, where are the options like font color etc?

im logged intot he room and im not even in it! i have no document snad settings folder...delted all cookies...still cant get backin...and when iw as in i could not type any responses or text!

My opinion is that you have to downgrade it and we go back to the previews chat room the old one cause this version is giving everybody away too much troubles

Whats the use of new stuff when no one can use it correct

Well, I'm not going back to the old version. The new version is much better and has a lot of new features. The chat program itself wasn't the problem; it was the socket server that came with it. It was poorly and quickly written so as to take the massive load that the html version puts the server through. In html mode, the chat program overloads the CPU cycles on the server and that is dangerous in that VERY important services such as the various media servers and web server might crash.

I have to manage the resources evenly on the machine so that no one service puts the others in a risk of a crash. The socket server, once they get it to work properly, is the answer to overloading the CPU.

For the meantime, I have disabled the socket server and am running the flashchat program back on html mode. However, I have put a few restrictions so as to alleviate the load on the server; they are the following:

1. Client connections are limited to 30
2. Logins per IP are limited to 1
3. Refresh times are increased to 4 seconds and I might go to 5 (default is 3).

In socket server mode, the server can logically handle hundreds of connections and the refresh times are only 1 second or less.

So look for the return of the socket server when they release a new version of it.
