Chat function missing

[DrDominator9]

Is it just my computer or has the chat function completely disappeared?

[MightyHypnotic]

No I took it offline briefly to help troubleshoot the logging issue.

[Damselbinder]

How briefly? Mine still isn't working.

[DrDominator9]

It was working for about a day and now it's not again.

[MightyHypnotic]

Refresh your pages.. Shift +F5 Let me know if it's still not working after that

[DrDominator9]

Control+F5 but sadly, no. Did not work. Nor did clicking on the refresh icon near the upper left corner by the url bar.

[MightyHypnotic]

OK I will refresh the cache

[DrDominator9]

MH -- just a note -- the blue chat function bar still appears on the bottom of the screen even when I'm signed off. That's never been the case before and may be a clue as to where some of the problem may lie in regard to fixing the problem?

[DrDominator9]

Yikes! Chat function was back for half a day and now at 10:32 pm Friday night here on the US Eastern seaboard, it's gone again. Sigh!

[DrDominator9]

Oh, Chat, we hardly knew ye. Gone again on Sunday morning... 7-29-18

[MightyHypnotic]

Thats odd....

[DrDominator9]

Missing chat yet again.

[MightyHypnotic]

I will have to find another solution, then. It's becoming more trouble than it's worth.

[DrDominator9]

I'm sorry I'm a nag about this, MH, but I feel it's an important aspect of keeping this community together. The give and take rather than just static comments on the threads.

[MightyHypnotic]

Well, let me know if it comes back, because the code is there...I don't know why you aren't seeing it.

[Damselbinder]

It came back for about half a day, now it's dropped again.

[MightyHypnotic]

Ill have to have the developers look at it.

[tallyho]

I keep getting the little sound announcement that I have received a chat message but cant see it

[MightyHypnotic]

Hmmm anyone else having this issue? I dont seem to have it happening to me. Is this with the light or dark theme?

[tallyho]

Its the dark theme and there is (or was) a message there. BUT MY RECENT CONTACTS list on chat didnt show it except as a brief flash and then it disappeared before i could click on it. The only way I could get to see it was to message the individual member and then load earlier chats.
Its not the first time its happened. There doesn't seem to be a way of clearing the recent chat conversations and there are some listed going back months that should be superceded by a current chat but don't seem to be

[tallyho]

LOL ITS HAPPENING FOR ME NOW - I'm guessing with YOUR reply to my chat message to you yesterday
The SHF forum tab is alternating to show the forum address and NEW MESSAGE every few seconds but I cant see anything visible in CHAT
