Hi Rick, If you set the VariableTimeout value to "0" then it never expires. "1" means it'll expire in one minute.
You should note that VariableTimeout behaves differently with v5 for some scopes. Better check the documentation if you're using the latest version. Also, you can have multiple Custom Scopes on your Server (they're available across domains as well). They can be any name other than "System", "Domain", "local", "User", "Method", "Instance" (did I forget any?). So SCOPE="betty" is a Custom Scope. And, you always have to set SCOPE for <@ASSIGN> and <@VAR> because Custom Scope is exempt from the Scope searching rules for unscoped variables. So maybe a variable is not scoped somewhere? Hope this helps. Cheers....

The chat rooms are built in WiTango, and thus each room will have its own array of users. I need to create a custom scope for each chat room. The custom scope switch is on at the server end, and I've added my application in the applications.ini file. However, it's not working. I've even tried adding the <@ASSIGN NAME="variabletimeout" value="1" scope="custom"> and it still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated!
