I've been working on a fully function Fallout Terminal and so far have incorporated many features, one of which is a chat room to chat between others running the script. I improvised a small chat room and it works perfectly, until after around 10 messages back and forth, the messages stop being received and/or sent, and end up freezing the program in a loop of pure nothingness. I'm not sure why or how to fix this. Can anyone help?
the return_menu() doesn't change anything, it simply just takes it out of the loop back to a homepage, doesn't effect the code of the message system in any way.
