Chat not appearing

[Apoca1ypse]

I'm not getting chat to appear :(

sometimes i need to restart my browser and even then the best I get is just a small box int he corner (see pic) that cannot be moved or resized

32

I'm using firefox v16.0.2

That screenshot would indicate that you had chat minimzed when you last logged out. The chat window remembers its state. However, I notice your minimized window doesn't have a orange plus mark button to maximize it. Has that always been the case?

[Apoca1ypse]

i have no idea. I dont think I have ever minimised it before.

when I initially log into PoW i get that box in the corner but when i refresh the page it is gone entirely.

what os are you running? I just updated to v16.0.2 and noticed it started the chat window minimized for some strange reason, however I have the maximize button.

FF thinks they're doing us all a favor with their new rapid release cycle so they appear to be cool like Chrome...

I'm using windows 7 ultimate.

and sad panda that the issue is related to the new FF version :(

[Nate]

Does the maximize button show up for you now?

Is anyone else out there running Windows 7? If so can you let me know if the chat window has the orange plus mark button to maximize it after you minimize it?

Thanks!

well I logged back into PoW and box was gone entirely. I cleared my cache etc and my chat box reappeared as normal :D

I wish I had tried this before getting you to tinker with chat just so i had more info for you about cache clearing interactions :(

I am using windows 7 and firefox 16.0.2 and i get the + to maximize it when i min it

chat seems to work fine for the most part now. only issue I have now is that when i close the tab with chat open, and then go back to PoW chat disappeares and i need to restart firefox to get chat to reappear.

cyn, try clearing your cache

Instead of restarting FF have you tried just logging out and back in?

[Apoca1ypse]

that didnt work the past few times I tried.

I'm also noticing that sometimes it takes 30s for chat to appear in my browser.

Apoca1ypse do you have any firefox plug-ins installed like spam blockers or ad filters? Kinda of odd that I am using windows 7 and firefox and its working perfect for me, wondering if maybe its a plug-in going it.

[Apoca1ypse]

i run adblocker plus and mouse gestures at home. today at uni i was having the same issues yet it has no plug ins.

I did find one way this will happen for me, if i close firefox or go to different website and come back to www.pitofwar.com my session is still alive i guess cause i don't have to log back in, but the chat doesn't start back up in that case.

[Apoca1ypse]

yeah, same here
