Chat feature down

Seems like chat does work in principal but only the button on the top doesn't work. I can on the otherhand click on someone's nick here and then select "chat" and that works.

Same here but for a longer time.

@SGaist Do you still have problems with this?

SGaist · 22 May 2016, 21:09

Yep, it's been a while, only way to start a chat is to go the profile page of the person. Also, after a few seconds as I try to open the chat bubble menu I'm greeted by a "Forum Updated" message.

@SGaist Maybe someone in charge has the mercy to reboot the offending server :) @tekojo

I'll ask for someone to look into it.

Hi folks, there was some insufficient data validation in NodeBB that caused the application crash when fetching recent chats. The validation code is now improved and the crash shouldn't happen anymore. We'll see whether that was enough or is the original data fetched from our Mongo instances somehow invalid. Our database host had some replication problems a while ago and that could explain why some users have issues and some don't.

But if you still keep having issues, please let us know.
