@MarcGravell The chat link is currently displaying Could not access chat. on the SE sites

@rchern Thanks. DNS seems to have been a problem recently

yeah

@cross I was working with Zypher to fix that at the time you posted that. Should be fixed now- let me know if still #fail

I think I've mentioned this, but I may be imagining that.

Feature request: can toggling frozen/deleted rooms not clear the filter?

@rchern Sounds like a job for GREASEMONKEY!

Speaking of which, I need a userscript that automatically replies with that any time a post begins with "Feature request"

Oy.

Anyways, that's the problem with userscripts. It can't be the answer for everything. It shouldn't be the answer for everything.

Can someone pin the feature request for me?

@rchern You mean we can't build a SO clone as a userscript?

Haha

Feature request: Add a way for Marc to pin things from his iPod

@MichaelMrozek Sounds like a job for GREASEMONKEY!

@TimStone, we just need to take Josh's implementation of the api and build an entirely new web client. (;

My "please pin..." API seems to be working fine

hahaha

@rchern I think we can get it done in a few hours, no problem.

Now; can any of you prove to me that you aren't robots? Eh? Eh?

I'm not in blue, so clearly I'm a mere mortal. :P

|:

If I was a robot, I'd have known chat passwords. (;

@rchern Your perfectly straight smile doesn't do much to disprove your roboticness. :P

ha

Only our dev site is password protected AFAIK

silly verb tenses.

I maintain that password protection makes no sense when everyone is already logged in -- you just put the password prompt there to frustrate us

It was only o avoid support questions on an unreleased site.

Because "you shouldn't even be there yet; b****r off" often offends ;)

Hahah

Feature request: Join all my favorite rooms automatically when I enter one of them

I'm laaaaaaaazy.

@Brant You mean like a "rejoin all" button?

Hmm, I didn't know that was there.

Feature request withdrawn!

Automatically != click a button

But for what it's worth, I have chat.stackexchange.com/chats/join/favorite as my bookmark.

Oh, that works even better. Feature request double-withdrawn.

I'd still prefer not having to click a button

That's true, I am pretty darn lazy

@rchern Make it your homepage

Huh?

Oh, I didn't realize there was a button on that page. Never mind

Sounds like a job for GREASEMONKEY!

grumbles

Feature request: Can we show pin/unpin in the normal message history, instead of a special entry at the top? Possibly star/unstar too, unless those are supposed to be anonymous

test

somebody complaining on chat.stackoverflow that there's an error over here, guess not

test, test

PING? PONG!

what error?

happy to investigate if there is more detail

@MarcGravell Someone was getting weird redirects, but then they flushed their DNS cache and it fixed itself, if it's the same person I'm thinking of. :)

Ah, probably a legacy from the DNS snafu the other night. chat was a victim there, not the perp.

consoles poor chat

We have to make sure that you're feeling well so you can handle the additional burden of our userscripts. ;)

Heh :P

By the way @Marc, as far as the auto-complete goes, does it simplify accented characters for the purposes of matching like is standard for SE notifications? e.g. name will suggest ńămë?

Indeed it does

As much as I enjoy peeking into the underbelly of the minified chat JavaScript, is there an easy way to go about that? I've added comment auto-complete to the SEModifications userscript (the one for the actual site), but I haven't put in anything to handle that scenario.

@TimStone I was getting an infinite redirect loop yesterday, I cleared the cookies and it went away.

@Brant Ah, alright :)
