"You've been banned" and random logouts
« on: August 16, 2008, 11:42:15 PM »


2 problems I've found with the new setup:

I get "You've been banned" from the chat login screen (before and after trying to log in)

and the forum logs me out seemingly at random

I'm puttering about, and haven't encountered any of those yet. Can you reproduce the effect?

Yes to both, I got logged out twice before I posted this reply

EDIT:

The logouts seem to occur mostly on topic switching and group jumping

Hmmm....

I tend NOT to do that; opening new tabs for visits to other topics. So I pretty much always have a Main Page tab open, and usually the Topics of my interest, and still more tabs for each of the threads that I pop open and close when I'm done.

But I have yet to encounter being Banned by the Bartender.

This is a known bug, apparently for certain accounts.  Vin is aware of and working on the issue.

Ted, you are now fixed. But I haven't gotten any other complaints of random logouts. The first thing I'd suspect is your browser cache.

Did Ted have to be taken to the vet for this procedure?

Hmm. I seem to be also having the You've been banned issue here at work. I haven't tried the chat feature from home yet though.
Yes I cleared Cache and cookies.

But I must confess that I am using IE6.
Sorry it's standard. the is the one browers that is compliant with all of our remote security software.

Went to the chat room.  Apparently got in, but couldn't figure out how to change rooms or talk.  (Managed to CREATE a room with the same name as an existing one, though, unfortunately.)  And closing chat logged me out of the Forum, even though it was a separate window.

To change chat rooms theres a area right under welcome [insert user name] right under it says con suite you click on the arrow next to it and scroll down to the next room
to chat you just type at the bottom and hit enter

OK, I eventually scrolled down to the text window.

Two issues on the chat room:

The blue on black is VERY hard on the eyes.  Not too different from the headings above, but I don't need to actually read that too often.  (OK, the blue on black is MY text, but some of us do try to proof our chat.) :-D

The window is HUGE, as is the text.  Now, I'm old enough not to mind the latter, but the former means I have to scroll down to type, then scroll back up to see the reply.  Every time.

There's probably an easy fix for that, but it seems like an odd default.

Is the room available for "real" chat, or just Eliza-style convos?

Isn't that an oxymoron?  ::)
