Hi,
Some people have emailed me that the chat room is not logging them out when they exit the room.

I contacted the vendor, and they said that normally there is a small javascript pop-up that appears which kills the connection from the database. The problem is (a really stupid problem that should have been taken into consideration before) is that almost everyone with a modern browser has a pop-up blocker. So, I disabled this feature.

Pros: You will not be logged out if you do have a pop-up blocker.
Cons: The alternative method takes about 5 minutes to kick in, depending on the server load. This means that you won't be able to login again within about 5 minutes of closing the chat in the first place.

Hopefully this can be worked out in the next version of the software.


Thanks,
John
