Messages sent within the past 12 hours have been cleared as I push this new update which improves UI issues like auto loading messages, sorting issues, animated scrolls, new way to view replies, and pinned messages functionality.

Old reply links will break, if you click on any "Replying to" link sent before today, it will not work. Hopefully this isn't TOO much of an inconvenience

Also, Messages sent between April20-May03 will load/render at the top of your chat histories due to last months sorting bug, everything from May03 and beyond will be at the bottom of the message history as expected. You can email me if you want your chat manually reordered for free if this bothers you. Just ask.

You can start pinning and unpinning important messages again in your chats. (Remember to style these messages differently so they can be identified easier)

Chattable is testing password locked chats on beta now, check it out (you'll never guess the password) https://beta.iframe.chat/embed/?chat=neocities_vip

You will be able to set & remove passwords on the dashboard, in order for the chat to load you'll also need to pass your password when you initialize your chats e.g. chattable.initialize({stylesheet:"chattable.css",password:prompt("Enter the password")});})

A maintenance window is scheduled from May 5th-May 10th, during this time you will not be able to access chat histories. Small conversation history will be preserved as long as a user is online, but these temporary histories will be deleted when no users are online in your chat.

I work a full time blue collar job, and these issues surfaced in the middle of a work week meaning almost no time to troubleshoot. That's why the maintenance window is so wide. The goal is to have everything fixed and chat histories restored BEFORE May 10th

Again, thanks for the patience and support. And to my new followers, do not be discouraged. Things like this do not happen often, but is the exact reason why I keep things free, lol

Long story short, a bug existed in my message ordering algorithm which was created after transitioning from Firebase.

chattable 4 months ago

Short story long, Old messages on Chattable will remain jumbled/unordered unless you clear the chat or me via email to manually rewrite your room's JSON and chronologically re-order your chat history. As I transitioned to a custom script to generate time-based IDs for messages, I created a timestamps-related bug which chronologically jumbled messages unexpectedly when generating message ID's aka "push ID's".

While this has now been corrected (I think?) I would recommend clearing any chats that don't matter, new messages going forward should sort themselves correctly but old messages may (definitely will) remain chronologically jumbled. If you absolutely need to recover chat history (in chronological order) just email me the chat ID and I can personally fix your room's JSON/rewrite it.

If your chat is acting funny, clearing your chat or contacting support may also fix the issue.

Is this the cause for all chats being unusable currently? None are loading. I assume so, but would appreciate confirmation of my suspicions if they are true. No rush to get it fixed.

Updates to the landing page to reflect new changes to how customer support is handled, it is no longer included for beta links. Using beta is never recommended and it only exists for specific users.

hey, just wanting to share something that may be a bug for the beta links but im not sure!! im trying to sign into my chattable account on my site via the iframe, but the settings icon is entirely unresponsive. unsure if this is just a me issue or not, so figured it would be safest to mention it in case it isnt a me issue!!

ended up going back to the non-beta links for now, which work a lot better :3

Working on performance issues with Chattable, everyone's feedback has been heard and message buffering has returned. Only the latest 15 messages render unless you scroll up for more.

I just identified an issue where Chattable beta & production versions were racing to overwrite chat messages, the loser would lose their messages. I've since cloned the database and use a separate db for beta now, chat history & ownership now varies between the two versions.

Now is a good time to change all your beta.iframe.chat links BACK to iframe.chat links, using BOTH can get confusing for you and me when troubleshooting

I believe I have fixed this, try visiting the chattable dashboard again and creating your chat if it doesn't exist yet. A few things to note though: 1. Chat IDs are like usernames, if one is taken already, you won't be able to use it to create your own. 2. The dashboard doesn't work in real time, most changes will require you to reload the page to see your changes, this will remain true while the project is in beta
