EPIC

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.

thank you john chattable.

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")});})

Let's gooooooooo

Thank you for your sustained support dude, we really appreciate it

Yay! Thanks a lot!!!

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

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.

also ty everyone for being so patient :') i am literally one guy just trying to maintain a fun project lol

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

Ok, thanks!!!

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.

Yes, I've turned off Chattable's backend to prevent further issues and confusion

potatoes

I NEED TO BOOKMARK THIS, hehe!!!!
