    Suggestions for improvement

     

    Firstly, I would like to say thankyou very much to the CuteChat.net developers team for the developement of their  web application called "CUTECHAT". I like it too much.

     
     To the CUTE CHAT DEVELOPERS
     ----------------------------------------------------
     I have noticed the following events in the CuteChat.net application :-
     

    1. When i refresh the Page, (while chatting with somebody), the Userlogin is prompted and the main chat area   where all the incomming and the outgoing messages are displayed shows.

      

                                "Arsh" (my UserName) has left the Chat.

     

    That means the Session of Username Arsh  ie.  Session(Arsh) has been expired when the page is refreshed. Which i think  is not feasible. I suggest you have to correct it to the following.


     Remedy of Session State Expiration:
     --------------------------------------------------

     The Session of the User does not expires when a particular user refreshes the page.
     
     

    2. Secondly, When i add a picture emotion in my message and sent this message to somebody on my LAN.
        

     (I have a Windows 2003 .NET Server SP1 with Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000 Server SP4 in my Network)  

     

    The message is displayed as it is, but the emotion is not displayed on Client Side. On the Other side (i.e where the 
     message is sent from Server Side)
    , only the blank picture box is displayed without emotion picture.


     The basic idea of these chat web apps is on one side the user send the message to server, which is
     stored in a DATABASE SERVER, & the other user picks that message from DATABASE SERVER for displaying purposes.

     
    I have checked the table of SQL Server database  " CuteChatmessages "
     
    In the msghtml field: It is Stored 
     

       <IMG  src="http://localhost/CuteChatSample/CuteChat/images/avatars/emteeth.gif" border="0">

       </IMG>

     

    I think this localhost must be replaced with the  " System.Environment.MachineName.ToString() " 
     
    and the above link becomes
     

       <IMG  src="http://MyMachineName/CuteChatSample/CuteChat/images/avatars/emteeth.gif" border="0">

       </IMG>

     
     

    Now the Client System that is chatting with somebody , finds the " System.Environment.MachineName.ToString() "
    on Network and Picks the Image from a Server where IIS app is INSTALLED i.e your main Server


     
    The problem with this


       <IMG  src="http://localhost/CuteChatSample/CuteChat/images/avatars/emteeth.gif" border="0"></IMG> 
            
    is if IIS6 is installed on Windows 2003 Server, and i am refering  it as my LOCALHOST instead of my machine name, then what happens is when i connect my Windows XP Client to my Server, and open a chat program in my Windows XP Browser.
    ( i.e a on Client Side)

       

        

    ( Whether IIS is installed on Windows XP or NOT ), when It sees the url "http://localhost/..../avatars/emteeth.gif"
    Windows XP thinks it the localhost  i.e the local IIS of the Windows XP and the EMOTION IS NOT DISPLAYED, because whether i have IIS or NOT the images are actually not placed  there, they were placed on the SERVER.


     
    3. When the Changed my Avatar to a particular image, it is temporarily changed. When i logged out, and log in again
        IT RESET TO DEFAULT (I.E I THINK THE MESSENGER'S ICON).

     

     

    4. Lastly, i have noticed the following Scenario.


    Suppose the two users Arsh and  Adams have joined the chat and they are chatting for about say 10 - 15 minutes. 

    After that Arsh has left the Chat room and then Adams. This is fine upto now.


    Now what happens is, When Arsh again logins after about half an hour later, and start chatting, the main chatting area  ( where all the incomming and the outgoing messages are displayed ) , again shows the messages of my previous CONVERSATION with Adams.

     

    I want to ask, why this is so ?

     

    When once a particular user had left the chat all the conversation that is done by him with others much be cleared from DATABASE SERVER.

           

    If not cleared, this must not be displayed to the User, when he again logs in.

     
     

    _____________________________________________________________________

     

     

     The installation & configration is very easy, works very well on my LAN  " *** without even 1 ERROR *** ".

     


    Rest is OK, everything is very fine. The Chat program is very good. I can say it is  number 1 and A Class Web based Chat. The themes are very good. The girl that is displayed on the main home page or in CuteChat ads is very cute.

           

    I think it is the only program that can compete java chat programs.


    I again say, i shall be very thankful to the CuteChat Developers team.
