hey james, theres a problem with the thing on the right side of the main page.

when you click on the person's username, it says "page cannot be found". i figured out what was wrong..

when you click on the name, it leads to a page located at http://www.elantraxd.com/member.php?u=1905 (using mine as a reference)

but on a normal member profile page, the address is http://www.elantraxd.com/forums/member.php?u=1905

just thought i'd point it out to ya :)

Another problem with the 'who's in chat indicator' is that it doesn't actually work, in my experience. Whenever I see that somebody is in chat, I go there almost instantly only to find nobody there.

I doubt that this is something you can fix, but if you're a member of the vBulletin forums, or if you could mention it to the flashchat people it would be appreciated.

Thank you, kind regards.

I think the issue is that most of the time, people don't log out of chat... they just close the window. If you don't log out, I imagine the programs just waits a certain amount of time of inactivity before it assumes you're gone and removes your name from the "in chat" screen...


there's a button in the top firght hand corner of the screen that will log you out... if you log out, it takes your name off of the "in chat" screen...

it waits til someone else goes in :P i've noticed that. then when that person logs out, it shows no one in chat. if they close the chat window w/o logging out, they're the "ghost" of the chat
