HI, curious behavior, when I use a tag URL on my site, for exemple Topics tagged au2026 the chat window opens up instead and covers the whole screen, what gives? Thanks.
Your forums use a lot of customizations. So my first step would always be to rule out that it’s one of them. Does it also happen when you use https://dessein-tech.com/tag/au2026/152?ascending=false&order=created&safe_mode=no_themes,no_unofficial_plugins?
Safe mode that disables plugins is going to help because it disables the chat plugin.
If safe mode disabling themes helps, my first guess would be Chat Sidebar, where the description mentions
Yes it works when I use the notheme and nofficialplugins switches.
So yes it’s the Chat that poses problem.
In the mean time I will use instead a search URL result instead of the tag URL, that will do, thanks.
Your issue comes from the other TC that defines a default chat channel.
It’s a timing issue. Your TC code navigated to the chat channel too early during page load, so chat can’t tell it apart from someone opening a chat link directly. And default behavior is to open in fullscreen.
I just added a setting to my TC (PR):
You can disable your TC, update mine, and give it a try!
