Hi, I have installed the blasthchat module 2.3 on joomla 1.0.15 and I have disabled the who's online module.

Now It works excellent but something, and I think when is time to refresh the username and icon of user became invisible, leaving only the number of guest and user we have. But if I refresh the page by clicking a page they return back visible.

The modify I had made is only to change the word to the language file for we have.

I don't have cb installed.

What I can do?

My module configuration is:
dynamic update 60
Activate multisite No
Open chat detached Default
Userlist type Plain
WhoIsOnline display Both
WhoIsChatting count display Both guest/members
CB icon shows CB avatar No
Username color No

This is most probably related to encoding of your website charset=iso-8859-1, on page load it works fine, but when dynamic update happens javascript tries to write usernames in your encoding which is failing (javascript writing to page works differently then when your php code generates html output.)

I recommend to disable dynamic update. If possible try to follow Joomla 1.5 direction where they completely switched to UTF8, mysql tables, php output, webpage encoding.

I know it is not the best answer, but we did not have time to write module so that javascript writing would generate html code elements, instead document.element.innerHTML is used.

I think if you switch in your browser webpage decoding to UTF8, usernames will show properly, but the rest of the website might not (in firefox menu View - Character Encoding - UTF8)
