Allan - TheTechTribe Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Hi, wondering if anyone here experience when opening multiple browser tabs and leave the browser for a while let say an hour you leave it and comes back, and when you open any of the tabs to check the forum, it just refreshes on its own, is that a browser issue or the forum software?
Solution Randy Calvert Posted March 6 Solution Posted March 6 (edited) I don't believe it's the forum software. When I see this happen, it's because the browser has reclaimed memory. It does not just happen on IPB, so if I was a bettin' man, I would say it was a function of the browser/OS and most likely a function of the browser trying to manage resource utilization. Take a look at: https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/204546987/why-chrome-tabs-refresh-automatically-when-i-go-to-another-tab-and-how-do-i-stop-it?hl=en https://workspacetips.io/tips/chrome/how-to-stop-chrome-from-refreshing-your-tabs/ Edited March 6 by Randy Calvert
Allan - TheTechTribe Posted March 6 Author Posted March 6 One plugin we use and updated was the WordPress SSO v1.2.3 author by @Stuart Silvester (not sure if this is the author that I tag here, if not please let me know) and core update to v4.7.15, since then members complaining that since last two weeks ago, they are complaining about random refresh of the forum.

Ryan Ashbrook Posted March 6 Posted March 6 @Randy Calvert is correct. This would be a browser issue - most likely because it suspended the contents of the tab, so when put back into focus, it automatically refreshes to get the latest update for the page. Jim M 1
Allan - TheTechTribe Posted March 7 Author Posted March 7 (edited) Hello guys, well apparently, some members including my CEO experience writing a post or replying to topic and the page it self refreshes, this happens over the last two weeks, where we updated IPB into the latest core v4.7.15 along with these updates plugin - wordpress sso from 1.2.2 to version 1.2.3 app - chatbox from v2.7.7 to v2.8.3 app - classified from v2.3.5 to v2.4.0 beta 6 We are still investigating the issue Edited March 7 by Allan - TheTechTribe
Randy Calvert Posted March 7 Posted March 7 I’m confused here… you said in the first post the page refresh occurs if you go away for a long period of time and come back or switch away from the tab for an extended period of time. Now you’re saying it’s happening as they’re writing a post or replying. In they start typing a post and go away for some period of time… even if the page refreshes IPB will auto store the content. It also happens if you navigate away from the page without submitting the message. I just literally tested this on my own site and on this forum and it works. I completely navigated away from this page (clicking the activity stream and then clicking this thread again). When I came back, my post was restored along with a message at the bottom explaining the content was auto restored.
Allan - TheTechTribe Posted March 7 Author Posted March 7 Well, members start sending ticket, and I asked for their experience, and some of them they say that when they are replying to a post then it refresh the page. It also happens to our CEO when he wrote a partial outage of our forum, it happens when our CEO try to edit the topic our CEO did, and it refresh Here are some of the screenshot topic or replies And list goes on, just this three member
Randy Calvert Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) I've not seen anyone on my community complain about this and there have not been others on the support site here reporting a similar activity. So there's a pretty good chance it's not core causing the issue for you. What happens when you disable chatbox? Does it still happen? I personally would start there as SSO should not have anything to do with interacting with your pages once logged in. The classifieds app generally is interacted only when using the application itself. The chatbox however can be loaded on almost any page. Edited March 7 by Randy Calvert Allan - TheTechTribe 1

Right now, it happens to me, and recorded the network log file (HAR), only two ajax request trigger this refresh, the notification and the chatbox, so yeah, we will disable this chatbox first and see what happens.
Marc Posted March 7 Posted March 7 This is not something I have seen happen on anyones site. I know that doesnt help you much, but it does point to the fact its very likely 3rd party Allan - TheTechTribe 1

Marc Posted March 7 Posted March 7 No problem. Glad to hear you appear to have located the issue Allan - TheTechTribe 1
stoo2000 Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Likewise, I don't see how this would be related to the WordPress SSO. It will redirect you to WordPress in some circumstances if your session has expired but that shouldn't be very often if you're using the site.

Hello, are you the author? Yes, we have already an account, however when I try to create a support ticket, seems that page is broken, however, I believe the root cause was the chatbox as there was no complain from any members to this date.
JP TTT Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Hello. JP here, from the thetechtribe. For the continuity of the investigation, can some IPBoard dev help me out to understand what is the purpose of the following snippet. It is the ajax response in the uploads/javascript_global/root_library.js?v=37062bb1bf1709922374 $(document).ajaxSend(function(event, request, settings) { if (!_.isUndefined(settings) && settings.showLoading === true) { if (!$('#elAjaxLoading').length) { getContainer().append(templates.render('core.general.ajax')); } count++; ips.utils.anim.go('fadeIn fast', $('#elAjaxLoading')); } }).ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings) { if (!_.isUndefined(settings) && settings.showLoading === true) { count--; if (count === 0) { ips.utils.anim.go('fadeOut fast', $('#elAjaxLoading')); } } if (!_.isUndefined(settings) && !settings.bypassRedirect) { var responseJson = null; if (!_.isUndefined(request.responseJSON) && !_.isUndefined(request.responseJSON.redirect)) { responseJson = request.responseJSON; } else if (!_.isUndefined(request.responseText)) { try { var jsonResponse = $.parseJSON(request.responseText); if (jsonResponse && !_.isUndefined(jsonResponse.redirect)) { responseJson = jsonResponse; } } catch (err) {} } if (responseJson) { if (!_.isUndefined(responseJson.message) && responseJson.message != '') { ips.utils.cookie.set('flmsg', responseJson.message); } if (responseJson.redirect.match(/#/)) { window.location.href = responseJson.redirect; window.location.reload(); } else { window.location = responseJson.redirect; } } } ips.utils.cookie.init(); }); The last part in the if(responseJson) block, the condition will always end in a reload/redirect. I've being trying to catch it but is not easy by the randomness of the request and the issue. Thanks! Allan - TheTechTribe 1

Background AJAX requests are totally normal but you shouldn't get redirected to them.
