I can confirm that it's only not working for internet explorer in the release you have installed. 
Don't really know why it's angry though.
The good news is that I have tested your fourm in IE with my newest work in progress and it's working fine. So I would continue using read receipts (although IE users are currently not affected) and wait for version 2.0 here to come in about 6 days.
I appreciate the notification that IE is a butt and cannot be trusted with simple commands and probably needs to grow up.

I will jump onto google chrome and see what happens there

Hello people of proboards forum. I attempted to use this plugin on my forum and it was extremely glitchy and didn't work properly so I had to disable it. I was just wondering is there a way to fix this issue and make it work properly because I would love to have this feature on my site.

few questions: can you lessen the time to 30 seconds and can you make the pop up smaller?

a minute is too long and you should allow an option to set 30 seconds to 60 secs

You can have all the time in world to view a message, what's the hurry?

I believe all the bugs have been worked out in version 2.0. If not please mention it.

I was already going to start recording time.
Use that to create a bar on last viewed showing when someone stopped is a neat friggen idea. 
The only problem with this whole data concept is stale key data. 
If a user was in the middle of a message, ate some supper, came back in a couple hours, wrote and posted.
This would overwrite all views, last seen timestamps, and original message view status (if multiple users).

How would you suggest combating that problem? 

You could always push the latest data to the key, the ID and timestamp of the user posting. I believe that doesn't overwrite the entire key but just appends the data server side. How you would remove the old data though is a bit tricky as it will pile up. It needs to be a user initiated action so removing any old duplicate ID and timestamps when then user clicks to read the PM would be possible. It would only be 60s old at most.

• When a PM is clicked, the page changes and you get new key data. When the user clicks to read the PM within 60s, any duplicate ID's that are older are removed and the key is updated, along with the ID and timestamp of the user who has just opened the PM.
• Viewing the PM compares each timestamp in each individual message with that of the timestamp for each ID recorded. Any message timestamps that are greater than in the key are newer, and the user has not read those.
• When a user posts a reply, their ID and timestamp are pushed to the key, so the key is untouched but has a new data appended. The timestamp i

With this idea though, it won't be possible to determine when a user is viewing the PM with a new message they haven't seen, which would prompt the popup box. The only thing I can think of is to always show the popup which when clicked, would always update the key and remove any duplicate ID's if there are any.

You could even list all users on the conversation page who have read the PM at some point in chronological order, with the date string in the title attribute so hovering over it would display exactly what time they viewed it.

A bit convoluted, but that's how I would do it anyhow.

Edit: Oh and thanks for the badge! Really appreciate it 

I didn't get your name appended with the timestamp function but I'm going to be done with this plugin for a while with this release for 2.0
