Are Babble chats being counted as Posts in the admin panel statistics?
Can someone who uses this plugin write a list of current issues (including issues others have reported). Iāll try and find time to fix them next week.

My issues:
- no route name (to launch it via mobile tab bar)
- Every 10,000 messages a new chat has to be created manually (since thatās the limit for max number of replies to a topic)

Iām not a dev, so I have no idea what qualifies as a list, but I can report this much:
If you try to select any category to assign permissions under, the click will not respond. Nothing gets put in the text feild, and you canāt write it in yourself and try to save. Doing so returns:
However, when we go and select the assign to groups button rather than the assign to category button, we are able to input a group or groups for the plugin to gate the rooms.
When we click save, it returns again and says we messed up, telling us we need to try again.
Same error as before, but this time upon refreshingā¦
Praise oden.
Room works, saves every time using method described above separating permissions for groups. Category rooms I could not get to function.
Couple things with the rooms themselvesā¦
When we go to edit a rooms name, upon saving, it will return the unable to save error. On hard refresh, you will find that it actually did save.
One thing to note is the channel visible to the following groups was changed from admin to trust_level_0ā¦ I was curious if this was the case for multiple groups being tested at onceā¦ I am not really too sure thereā¦ so I tested.
I tried to set the visibility to only admins again, and it returns the same
Hard refresh puts us back at ground test_level_zero
Tried removing trust_level_0, adding admin, moderator
Nope. Saving throws the unable to save that chat channel, please try again error even with more than one group attempting to be āeditedā or added to the groups visibility filter.
I wrote this up between 3 and 5 AM so if I did not properly explain things please just ask and I will be happy to reply.
The chats themselves work great, editing works, images work, delete messages show as deleted by the respective mod, for staff only, until you hard refresh in which case it goes away completely.
(could be by design, just noting)
Inline emotes work great even with custom emotes in there. Figured Iād do some testing since Iāll end up using it a lot and wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make it.
Also I couldāve missed things.
The first message in the room will add a post to your post count. I am pretty sure thatās by design, just noting.
Also thisā¦
on hover
Tried every color combo under the sun for my theme, couldnt get that icon to show up unless I was hovering. Not sure if that is due to the theme I use (graceful) or something else or what.
Goodnight and good morning.
Cheers for the plugin.
I still have the same issue. I am on 4.1.1. babble 
I keep getting the error message and the Chat permissions are not saved.
Hello
An error occures when I try to add a Babble channel with category.
See Firefox console at the bottom :
My discourse version :
2.5.0.beta2
Babble version :
4.1.1
Faithfully
We deployed the fix, The error message is gone, but the permissions are still not saved
I believe Iām having the same issue. Not able to save the chat category.
Same here. Would be great if you could take a look @gdpelican !

Iāve raised a couple of PRs which fix the Admin ā Chats interface and allows you to save once more and select Categories.
https://github.com/gdpelican/babble/pull/291
https://github.com/gdpelican/babble/pull/292
UPDATE: @angus has kindly merged these so please update and this particular interface at least should now be working.

We have over 12K posts in a single chat. This is increasingly demanding on system ressources.
I suppose that auto closing 10k+ topics is done for a good reason. Is there any way to manage this in Babble, short of deleting whole chat? The ābabble history windowā setting doesnāt seem to have any effect on this.

Awesome Plugin for Discourse! Thank you very much!
Fantastic Plugin!
How do I fix missing translation as shown in Pic? Is the initial user count how many users are displayed?
@gdpelican is there a way to set Babble chat not to tigger the follow plugin? Will ask follow plugin author as well.

@gdpelican any chance you will add a route name to open the chat?
Refresh your page the default bullhorn icon is beside the search icon. I replaced mine with the FA Comments.
My whole point is to move the icon from header bar to mobile tab bar component.
My header is really cluttered on mobile
I havenāt looked into it. But I imagine might be able to find a link and hide it in headet
Is anybody having issues with browser tabs freezing for up to a minute when using babble?
The browser freezes when opening a chat channel, typing a new message, sending a new message etc.
Happens on latest Chrome on MacOS only
