Chat flag on the main page
#7
RE: Chat flag on the main page
The problem is that the forum logs which page people are on, but that only stays the same until someone moves to another page, or they stay on the same page for 15 minutes or more. So you have two scenarios:

1) Person A visits the chat room, loads the Flash chat applet, then opens another AF.org page in a new tab, overwriting their location.
2) Person A visits the chat room, stays there for 15 minutes (as is usual) without reloading the page, and their session location expires.

The internet is stateless...it ain't meant to have a memory.
