    myflyertrains - 2010-08-30

    I get the following message over and over...

    Monday, 30 of August 2010 05:32:47) mrstamp has closed the browser.

    The problem is, the user is not actually there. He will magically appear in
    the chat room, and then close his browser.

    All this without a message saying he entered the chatroom. This has been going
    on for a week or so.

    Any ideas on how to reset this problem?

    Chatroom url:
    http://www.myflyertrains.org/chat/

    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Just to close this topic, here is your fix Chuck:

    Do you remember that you worked with me for a few days about a year and a half
    ago on chat room problems. I had users that kept going in and out of the
    chatroom for no reason.

    MRSTUMPY was one and RONINID was the other.

    Well to let you know, I solved the problem yesterday. It was the Googlebot
    crawler.

    How it got the usernames to log into the room I will never know, but excluding
    the chat directory in the robots.txt file finally solved the problem.

    I thought you would like to know should the problem ever come up again.

    Thanks again for your excellent software!

    Thank you for sharing!

    Ciprian M.
