well i think it also messed up links in likes like if someone likes a comment but not sure i saw you just added so cant be used thought u could include , in next version im not sure it is a comet chat issue as much as its a username verses profile name issue
cometchat uses user name witrh the . you dont direct the the page correctly
i often have to ttell people to remove tyhe . from their name

it only messes up links in commetchat from what i can tell but allowing usernames like james.jones when you click the name in cometchat it says page not found
spaces or - or _ should be fine
but for some odd reason many people use periods which messes up some links

im not anymore redis is disabled on the other
it always only shows like 2 online and like 1/3 of the bots
maybe it closes the connection sooner so the 'connected' status expires much faster?

i was on 1 large site (back on ning) the site creator would send a few a day to the entire membership.
some as silly as "i'm having coffee and watching tv what are you all up to'
the final straw was when nasa hurled a chunk of metal into a crator to anylize the dust it kicked up for traces of water, he sends out mass mail after mass mail with crazy stuff like "nasa is bombiong the moon i hereby declare war on the united states government" and stuff like that
i tried many times to explain to him how improper it was but he seemed pretty impulsive (kinda like the orange guy in the white house) and just couldnt control himself
after that incident it pretty much killed all activity on his site and it was shut down a few months later

most likely the cause is from sending out too many newsletters and having the ip blacklisted as a spam ip
google ip blacklist test
search your ip addrress if oits blacklisted you can request it be removed ..from most of them some lists just require a certain amount of time to go by without spam
be very careful about sending out newsletters. if they become annoying to your members who arent active they might spam them which can i think get reporertyed to the various lists that then might blacklist ya
i only send out newsletters when its something major.. actually i average 1 every 3 years and even then you get a negative responce from some perople who look at all mass mailings as spam.
don't rely on them as a trafic generatyor, that pretty much is the definition of spam.
the important emails that need to send are about replies to posts comments on items and email verifications
so in conclusion after getting your ip back in good standing, do not rely on newsletters to generate trafic.
if you truely believe that newsletters are essential to your community, (every sites diferent yours might need them) then i would use a seperate opt in newsletter service. instead of sending mass mails to all members, you could do it 1 of 2 ways.
using jamrooms built in capabilities create a quota call it newwsletter subsribers
in the signup and edit profiles use the form designer to add a newsletter_subsribe checkbox
and have it assign people who check it to the new quota
then when you send emails only send to the quota that actually wants it and intentionaly signed up for it
alternately you can use something like constant contact or any other service have a subscribe to newsletter option on the site (maybe for members and visitors alike) then use that to manage newsletters
that might be the best option as they tend to use your email service instead of the sites built in mail handling (which affects your ip reputation)
you want to avoid any impact on your ips ability to send crucial emails that are essential to normal site operations

fixed with regular sessions, but with redis it still shows wonky counts
it might say 1 or 2 but if you click users online you see many more

yea it seems to be working like it was with redis enabled which is only showing a small number i guess it was only logged in users
in dashboard it kinda would be nice to have a total iusers a logged in members and guests as separate panels
