NWSChat Live Application
Most Recent Changes
- 12 Mar: The "All Chats" tab introduced an instability by giving the web
browser too much work to do. This would cause the browser to report a script
is busy error or other poor things would happen. The "All Chats" tab has been
adjusted to only load new messages after you join the room.
- 30 Jan: Updated colors used to differentiate chatroom authors to hopefully
be a bit more distinguishable.
- 25 Jan: A slight delay has been added to auto-join chatrooms. Some users
had noticed browser stability issues when auto-joining many rooms at login. A
common symptom was for the browser to report that "this script is unresponsive."
- 22 Jan: New Feature: There is a new tab called "All Chats",
which contains messages from all the chatrooms you have joined. The text entry
box below allows you to send messages to one or more rooms from a subsequent
window that appears once you enter the message.
- 26 Nov: Fixed chatroom message display issues with Internet Explorer. This bug caused
messages to appear to be blank from syndicated rooms.
"NWSChat Live" is a pure web browser instant messaging client
for NWSChat. The purpose of the application is to provide users
with a painless means to join the NWSChat conversation without
installing third party software or worrying about local network
firewalls. Since this application runs purely over HTTPS
(port 443) and without third party browser plugins, almost all users
should be able to run this application without local modifications.
The only requirement is for a modern web browser that supports
javascript.
This application is under rapid development
and may contain bugs. Please report bugs and suggestions to
nwschatadmin@noaa.gov.
Please be sure to mention the version and brand of web browser
you use.
