I logged into different user accounts on the same browser and all chats from different users appeared accumulated in a single chat window when a new chat was initiated. This is a big privacy concern.

Please take a look at the attached screenshot where in a chat between users xristina and natalia, there are messages visible from a chat between panagiotis and xristina. User panagiotis was previously logged in on the same browser just before natalia.

Btw, any page reloads cause the chat window to scroll to the top, which is a bit frustrating.

i'm relatively new so this might be a dumb question but when it says latest version of YUI, does that mean from yahoo site, like the whole 3.3 version YUI developer kit? (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/)
or does that mean http://drupal.org/project/yui

please clarify, thanks

I assume it means the library from Yahoo! itself, not the Drupal module.

Yes, it means the library from Yahoo! itself.

i did a fresh install just to be sure. this module shows conversation even it's a different site!

I have a site installed at localhost/work and another one at localhost/test
Simply, the conversation on "localhost/work" appeared at "localhost/test" despite the fact that the users are totally different.

This issue is actually related to browser cache. That's why it is happening.

Version: 6.x-2.0-beta4 » 7.x-1.0-beta6

This problem is still in DrupalChat 7.x-1.0-beta6. There must be a way out for deleting browser cache after user logout.

Thanks
