When the chat window 'refreshes' due to new conversation the chat log area (chat window?) shows the new text very briefly then pops back to the top of the list, thus requiring the user to scroll down to view new messages. This is using phpfreechat-4.7.x-1.x-dev.tar.gz along with phpfreechat-1.0-beta4.tar.gz (as instructed via the install.txt).

I've been looking into it, and it seems that something is causing it to reset the chat window. So when the scrollDown function runs it starting point is at the top not at the last scrollDown.

For example, I post something, the chat area resets, then the scrolldown function says to scroll down the height of my post. The first one off the screen works fine, but if I post a second message, the chat area resets, then the scrolldown function says to scroll down the height of the post, but only does it from the top of the chat area, not from the point where it had already scrolled down.

Will continue looking into this for the solution.

This looks like a bug in the phpfreechat script, rather than this module.

I have just committed some major rewriting of the file-path code to the 4.7 branch, and also added a Drupal 5.0 version of the module. Please try this version and report back how you get on!

NOTE: This version _only_ works on the (yet to be released) beta 9 of phpfreechat - and will not work with beta 8 or less. You will need to checkout the latest phpfreechat version from SVN. See module INSTALL.txt for more details.

If you still have problems with the phpfreechat script itself you can file them at http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpfreechat
