Disable the UserCP-related plugins in the plugin manager.

Upgrading to Pro is a seamless process; you get instant access after purchasing, and all you do is upload all the files from the zip's /upload/ folder and import the new XML file.
That'll overwrite the Lite product with the Pro version, and from there on out you don't need to come to the org for updates anymore :)

This is in the new "Notifications" menu entry in the vBShout entry in the AdminCP nav :)

To do that, you'd need to customise the HTML of the shoutbox quite a lot.
As such, it's nothing we can help with unless you actually hire us to do so :(

You have full control over where your Shoutbox is located, and on what pages.
Click "Edit" in the Instance Management and you'll see what I mean; you can specify what scripts it shows on, and either let it insert automatically or manually place it by editing templates :)

Hope that answers all your questions :)

Done, and Yes Sir, this fixed that issue, and you are MORE than welcome!


Now I have one other option I would like to change. With the current format the text input area for the user is to the left while the chat "Area" is to the right. What do I need to do to make the text input area fall below the chat "area" instead of beside it?

Glad to hear it :D

That's a Pro-only feature, I'm afraid :(
In Pro, you can set a forum default chat location, whereas your users can each pick their own chat input location from all 4 possible locations :)

I gotcha. For now I want to test this for member reaction and input before upgrading to pro, it may or may not be a needed option. I am probably getting ahead of myself there anyway...lol

Fillip,

You answered most of my questions and I answered the rest for myself. I'm going to post in the correct version for other questions I have...

Thanks and Regards,

Alisa

Is it possible to move the text box from the side to the bottom?

That's a Pro only feature :)

ahaan nice

what about the resources?

is it for dedicated only or shared/ vps server can use it?

It's suitable for all kinds of server types, though some shared hosts have rules against shoutboxes :)

Two Administrator Permissions have disappeared, and they're for two separate hacks: Log In as User and Flashchat.

When I disable the shoutbox, they appear again.
