Chatting refresh rate?

[CraftyMc]

Hi I'm having trouble with the chat refresh rate.., it says on the chat and on the who is bar "based on users activity over the past 1 hour" but I have the setting set to 30 seconds.., is this normal or is something wrong? I want to try and change the user activity on the chat to 5 mins after inactivity so when a member doesn't use it for 5 mins it takes their name out. At the moment my name is staying in the total users chatting for 1 hour after I last used it. This is a problem because my members will try talking to each other for an hour before they realise no one is there and I don't want people to think I am ignoring them because It says I'm still chatting when I left an hour ago..

Ajax Chat to my understanding reloads the page automatically. In my case, this sometimes takes more time than expected. It is often delayed up to a minute or so.
The users (about 20 users online at the same time) type "." to get an immediate update. That helps but does not look nice.
I found and assume, that you can click on the green/yellow circle on the top right: this seems to do the same job: reloads the page with all contributions in the meantime.
Has anybody knowledge, if this is correct?
Are there any other ways to speed up reloading the page? It sometimes takes minutes to reload for some users.
What determines this?

There is no green/yellow circle for the mchat mod. You must have this mod confused with some other mod.

I had the similar issue. The chat refresh rate does not work at all. It shows the similar status for quite some time and I have to log out and log in to make it work again. However, after some time, I have the same issue. It is frustrating.
