Guest Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I know a few other guys are having the same problem that has recently cropped up with me here in the chat. The reply/message box seems to be covering up the last one or two messages/replies for some reason. This is in the main open chat area as well as the private chat and it makes it pretty difficult to keep up with things going on. The only way I've found to cope with it, is to make a post with a period, so as to move the chat up one line enough to read what the last post entered has said and of course this makes for much confusion to others. HAS ANYONE come up with a solution for this problem??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schvenn Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I've got the same problem. Chatting has become a big pain in the ass because of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazebugga Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Same problem here when I chat using my android phone. It only happens in private chat tho, not the main chat room. Not a problem when I use the chat on my computer. A really irritating niggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazebugga Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Ps I think quite a few others have this problem because several u have chatted to use the period/full stop method of moving the line of chat higher on the page.

That's what I have to do, so is one of the reasons I'm not saying much in chats anymore, do not want to irritate others with it. It makes it a bitch in private having to do it all the time to be able to read messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azpozloadtaker Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I've encountered the same problem, most noticeably when using Firefox to view the site. I switched to Chrome to try it and it's not as bad, but still have the problem with it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChargedLoadLover Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Try a different browser. Solved the problem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I switched over to internet explorer to use with BZ, which I hate with a passion, but it seemed to have remedied the problem for me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators drscorpio Posted February 16, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Did some testing just now. Seems to be a Firefox issue although I see some of you reporting issues with Chrome which I have not seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazebugga Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 using chrome in my mobile where it is a problem, but also using chrome on my PC where it isn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators rawTOP Posted February 17, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I just saw a notice that the maker of the software that runs this forum is ending the chat feature come May 1st. I'll look into other solutions before that time. In the meantime chat is what is what it is. I'd rather spend the time I have coming up with a new solution, not fixing a solution that has no future.

Guest Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 rawTOP, Thanks for all your time and efforts, the site is great and very much appreciated by all of us here. It seems the problem is, as I stated in a post here before, if using firefox and some of the other browsers, is how they interpret the coding. I switched to micro-enet explorer and it took care of the problem for me. Anyway, just have to say, is about par as usual, when something seems to be great, they have to go back and fuck it up someway, just as in dropping the chat feature in the software. This is the best board I've been on in along time and thanks again for all your time and efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
