Question

Hey my pm's are still sometimes not coming to me while I'm online until I do a refresh of course.
Like I just got an email that I was pm-ed but the message is not there in my message inbox on OpenStudy.

Answer 1

I haven't done a refresh yet just in case you want me to do something really weird.

Answer 2

Maybe it is being away from the site that causes it. I don't know.

Answer 3

Hmm, yea you are 'offline' apparently. Were you not getting notifications as well? I may have a few weird tricks I'd like you to try.

Answer 4

My little tab didn't appear orange when you wrote that.
I don't know about other notifications.

Answer 5

I can go away and you can write something again.

Answer 6

just like this?

Answer 7

Nope, no notification. My ghost was watching ;)

Answer 8

Ok. So what is trick 1?

Answer 9

Open up a new window: http://openstudy.com/messages

You should (hopefully) get new messages in real time since it's a fresh page; I'll DM you some trickery.

Answer 10

Hey you sent me a pm and I see the one that was sent by the other wild cat.

Answer 11

Yes. Chrome.

Answer 12

Okee doke, pop open the JavaScript console, if you could. I believe Control+Shift+J should do it on windows computers. You can type something:

alert("i'm a little teapot");

in it to see if it works. if it does, you're in the right spot.

Answer 13

Ok. I'm there.

Answer 14

Let's start simple. Anything prefixed with '>' is something I want you to type.

> typeof window.checkRecipientValidity

Answer 15

It said "function"

Answer 16

I don't know what this means but it appeared without me doing anything:

Answer 17

nah that's a bunch of hullabaloo. It sounds like something funky on our end, honestly, rather than yr end.

Answer 18

K. So I'm just going to refresh this page then?

Answer 19

Go nuts! Sowwy about that.

Answer 20

I hate you now bro
