@OvermindDL1 what does the following return when you run it in the browser console? new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / -60.
Here is the code that is setting tz-offset.

Actually, this is an interesting example of let it fail. I did not check the value of the string before calling String.to_integer (with is a dangerous api to start with since it throws on any non integer string). So @OvermindDL1 could not login.
However, I was able to see the issue immediately in the logs and now I know I have an issue with some browser settings (likely) that is not running the JS to get the browsers timezone offset.
I now have a fix in to default to tz_offset 0, so it should allow him to login, but the message timestamps will be off now.
However, if I had coded it defensively, I would then have to trace down why he is seeing incorrect timestamps. This would have likely taken longer to troubleshoot.

Testing now, got this when I entered username, password, then submitted:
Exactly! Let the community do the work! 
I never ever ever use String.to_integer/1, I only ever use Integer.parse/2. ^.^
Yeah I log very very noisely with anything I do not expect. I get tons and tons and tons of logs… >.>
I try to keep the user-interface always working in some way though.
EDIT: Chrome says this was the submitted form data:
_csrf_token:*******************************************************************************
_utf8:✓
tz-offset:
session[username]:OvermindDL1
session[password]:*******************

Lol, all good, I’m in now, though all it does is breathe at me in the center of the screen? ^.^;
Doing some research, you are pulling in javascript that is not local to the site, cross-domain, however your site is not https/secure so it is disallowed. You should bake all javascript in to your site (and don’t use jquery, jquery is horrible and useless nowdays) and/or add a secure certificate so https works.

I’m not seeing those issues. So I presume you have tighter security configured on your browser. I know know the issue bringing non secure in from ssl. Did not realize it went the other way. It looks like the web socket connection is broken. I have code in the channel connect that clears the loading mask.

I am at work yes, they do a lot of things to minimize virus’s and such, you know how workplaces go. ^.^;
It’s not a bad idea to do what they do though. Basically they just disallow cross-site-scripting when either of the domains are insecure, allowed only if they are both secure, helps prevent hooking a web session over the wifi or so. They encourage secure sites when at all possible.
Basically what it looks like is happening is you are trying to access jquery, but since it is not loaded it crashes, so the rest of your javascript is not running. Really should not use jquery anyway, its useless anymore, and if a browser supports websockets anyway then jquery is really entirely useless as the native browser API’s can already do it all anyway, well, except doing it slower.

That makes sense. I’ll work on getting the certs setup. Removing jquery will be a longer term project. I use a number of jquery plugins. So I will have to find alternatives for those. I’ve been following your jQuery rants for a while now and its starting to sink in. LOL
