@Chacha102 see the number on the bottom left of the room cards, called "all time users"? That's the number of people who have left at least 3 messages in that room

Feature request. The ability to move a question in line with it's intended conversation thread :P (ducks, rolls and runs)

Beneath the tavern on the room overview page, it says "in 13 hours - happy hour", what is that?

Diago

Free drinks for everyone

Benjol

Always when I'm in bed :(

Lasse V. Karlsen

Yay, free drinks

But 13 hours? that's 1 hour past midnight for me :(

What's the ticker?

balpha

@badp a way to not clutter up the chat with busy feeds

badp

12:38 PM

I was actually thinking it'd be an horizontal scroller but I guess it'd make no sense in a chat. :)

balpha

what do you do, inspect the dom every 10 minutes for changes? :)

badp

1:00 PM

Ticker test

That's what I did :)

Oh look, I just had one of those mentions coming from nowhere

Marc Gravell

1:20 PM

@badp can you describe? still having "fun" tracking this down...

badp

1:38 PM

There's not much to describe, unfortunately.

@MarcGravell Shortly after balpha joined Ticker Test, I heard the beep.

He didn't say anything, however.

My beep setting is "All rooms"

balpha

the ticker causes a beep, too

badp

Oh, that could be the reason.

balpha

which I'm now noticing doesn't neccessarily make sense...

When will chat refresh my picture from gravatar?

it has in here, but not all other rooms

Whenever I refresh that tab, nvm

@balpha is there a way to turn the sound off?

Diago

@BrucevanderKooij Click on the Speaker Icon

Bruce van der Kooij

@Diago ah right, I had removed the sidebar :-)

7:17 PM

@balpha Can you please run this google search

google.com/…

And tell me what the first result is you get?

balpha

deserialize JSON string in c# C# .NET

the second one is more interesting

Diago

Does the first result show as this one by any chance? It looks rather strange

And if I click on it, it goes to this question:

Q: C# Automatic Property DeSerialization of JSON

I need to deserialize some JavaScript object represented in JSON to an appropriate C# class. Given the nice features of automatic properties, I would prefer having them in these classes as opposed to just having fields. Unfortunately, the .NET serialization engine (at least, by default) totally i...

Zoredache

Is something up with the RSS feeds? The question feed in chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/rooms/32/server-fault seems to be stuttering pretty frequently the last couple days

Marc Gravell

you mean, "this one - Stack Overflow" ?

@Zoredache - I wonder if it is ending up with concurrent processing. I'll log it to investigate

Diago

@MarcGravell That's the one

Marc Gravell

7:26 PM

bizarre

Diago

I wonder if that's worth a meta post

Thanks @Zoredache; have seen elsewhere too

Zoredache

No problem.

Diago

@MarcGravell Guess we will find out

Q: Even Google knows SO is the one....

Doing a Google Search this evening I noticed the following interesting first result. It seems that even Google knows that SO always has the answer, except the link points to the question C# Automatic Property DeSerialization of JSON. I am not sure if this is a bug, or if SO can even control wh...

@Juan (as room-owner) - when you see this ;p For info, we have a new option to display feeds outside of the main chat area, which you may want to consider - it might be less invasive to the ongoing chats.

Ivo Flipse

where is it @Marc?

Marc Gravell

currently on the edit page, but that section will probably move into a tab soon, like the slicker user-access controls.

Ivo Flipse

ah yeah I see it now

so this is shown on the right somewhere?

I enabled it for the gaming blog, curious to see what it does

Marc Gravell

@MarcGravell where is it displayed?

(what is a ticker?)

Marc Gravell

like a stock ticker... basically, the feeds appear outside of the main chat area, to avoid making the chat nothing but RSS items

Juan Manuel

like the "we are about to deploy something" notification?

Marc Gravell

not quite - it is customised to the purpose. Perhaps just try it and see if you like/dislike it ;p (easier to see than to describe)

Juan Manuel

let's see

We usually discuss new questions as they come in, so it's useful to have them posted into the chat

Arda Xi

that might be more annoying than having it in chat by having to dismiss it all the time

Juan Manuel

9:08 PM

you can reply to the "Gaming" (feed) post

Marc Gravell

OK - if they are likely to form an integral part of your chat, perhaps leave them in the body. That is good feedback to consider different use-cases. If it is OK with you, I'll drag some of these messages back to "chat feedback", as they aren't about gaming.

Juan Manuel

sure

chat is working very slow for me right now

anyone else having problems?

tzenes

no @Juan it has been working fine for me

Juan Manuel

9:13 PM

ok thanks

Marc Gravell

I have debug stats running constantly at the bottom of my page - currently seems very smooth in terms of the server. Can you define "slow"? (might also be better over in chat-feedback ;p)

Juan Manuel

@MarcGravell one problem is that I cannot enter that room ;)

Marc Gravell

Well, the server has exactly 1 error logged, and that was 6 hours ago... so I don't have anything obvious to report... does it just hang the request?

Juan Manuel

Just a second…

and it's been more than a second

F5 F5 F5

nothing

everything works fine (other sites and the like)

I doubt it's my connection

anyways, feel free to move this messages again, I'll keep trying :P

Marc Gravell

@Juan According to your SO rep, there's a good chance you know your way around a browser; any script errors? 404s? 500s? anything odd like that?

nothing, I'll try FF and firebug, one sec

It took 20 seconds to download the logo from sstatic.net

perhaps it's something on my area

weird that everything else seems to be working

Marc Gravell

No problem from here (and I'm nowhere near the server):

sorry everyone for the offtopic conversation

ah

I got in

Marc Gravell

welcome ;p

I have no sensible answer to why it is slow for you. My developer-teflon response is "possibly not me, guv'?"
