Permanent chat cooldown

During this morning's Bombin' the stream died and came back a few minutes later. After it came back I could no longer post in chat as I always got the "cool it" message like I'm still in cooldown.

I cleared my cache, signed out and back in, and closed and reopened the browser, all to no effect.

I'm using Win7 Home Premium 64 bit with Firefox 27.0.1.

Thanks for any help.

@rorie tagging the bossman.

Sounds like a question for @edgework

Yeah, the client version is a little out of step with the server. Non-related issues prevented us from updating the client when we expected. Sorry about that. It should be better for the next live stream. This kind of thing should settle down now that the client/server protocols are locked down...

Yeah, I had the same problem with a multi-billion second countdown to next post.

It did rectify itself with a shutdown of Firefox (v27.0 on Win 8.1 x64) and re-entering the chat.

@rorie@edgework My chat timer has been broken since the Bombin' in the AM episode with Cara Ellison crashed. Since then I have watched the first two episodes of The Binding of Patrick and the timer has been broken during both of them. Tonight is Breaking Brad: Demon's Souls so then I will know if it is broken for Premium streams as well.

What does not work:

Clearing the cache

Restarting the browser/PC

Logging out.

UPDATE:

What also does not work:

Deleting the cached web content

Deleting offline web content and user data

UPDATE #2:

If you are having the same trouble I did, try typing this in the console of your browser:

localStorage.nextMessageAt = new Date().getTime();

then refresh

@edgework: I know you said it should work itself out but I just want to make sure, should this still be happening? I've still not been able to chat these last couple of days.

There are other non-related issues preventing us from updating the site. There's a fix ready to go and when the blocking stuff is removed they'll go live. In the meantime run this

localStorage.nextMessageAt = new Date().getTime();

in your web console while on chat.

My chat timer is fine, but it's still doing the thing where when I post, I never see my own chat posts show up. If I refresh the page (and I recently said something in chat) I can see what I just said, but any subsequent things I put into chat never appear in my browser.

Also, either no one replied to me throughout all of Patrick's stream (possible, but I directly asked people to reply to me a few times), or this issue is also making replies not appear.

@edgework: Cool, thanks for the help, dude.

ping @tsubomi

@edgework: Just wanted to say thanks, that code has worked great.
