Following a Qualtrics survey about chat being released (so it shows up in chatrooms), I've lost access every private room on the chat.stackexchange.com database that I had access to earlier today. Curiously, I can still see the room description, but I can't see chat messages or who is in the room.

Here are some rooms I tried (that I should have access to, and I haven't gotten a mod message):

Room names omitted as they're not public information, whereas AI Domination has been mentioned publicly.

Curiously, AI Domination on chat.SO still works fine. I don't recall if I have access to any private rooms on chat.MSE, so I don't know if I can test that.

Transcript access still works to said rooms (via transcript links from my browser history), so I presume it's a bug with how the survey was implemented.

I get a message stating

Loading [REDACTED]

Just a second...

Can someone restore access to private rooms?

    As a data point, I've confirmed that cocomac still has explicit write access to the rooms in question, and I can still access private rooms as a moderator.

    Is it possible you got logged out of Chat only? It is actually possible - from my experience, anyway.

  • @Catija Maybe? I don't think so though - if I was logged out, I wouldn't (shouldn't) have been able to see the room names/descriptions

We noticed the issue as well while rolling out the new survey message. Sorry about this! It should be fixed now. Please let us know if you continue to have any issues.

    Thanks, Setu! Out of curiosity, what caused the issue?
