an easy setting would be to have a permission based messenger, so users with permission are displayed only... ;)

After the install you see this: "BB|Messenger is now ready for use
Click Here To Load BB|Messenger"

When i click on Load BB|Messenger it asked to login. Altough i was loggedin already, i've logged out and again logged in and tried again.
Then i see this:
"Click here to goto the login page
Once you have logged into the forum, load BB|Messenger again. "

??

im guessing a cookie prob of some type.

only user's that have the messenger loaded show up as online anyway.

oh... ok then... good thing... btw, would be good also to have that permission thing, so only selected users/groups can access it...

i may be interested to a minimalist version where only admins can be chatting, so users can see the messenger, but can only chat with admins... this would make a real "Live Support"... isn't it ?! this can be easily done once the system integrate with vB permissions.

Maybe the cookie prefix is the problem but i realy don't know how to fix this.

hum.. another suggestions... would be cool to have a seperate page for the Buddy List, so we see when our friends are online... this can be done like the module that display the News...

these suggestions btw are not only for C.Birch, any coder can do these... (i may...)

you mean split up the top part? because it already shows if your bubbys are online or offline at the top in the Offline Buddies and Online Buddies bits, this information is pulled from your bubby list in your user cp.


NuclioN pass also because the hack was made that long ago i have no idea where stuff is without takeing hours to look at all the files.

I hope someone can look to the code again to let it work with vb3. :( :)

yeah, i just thought it would be better to have it seperate in the bottom, like the Latest Threads, so you load that part only when needed... or it takes more resources.

btw, each block can be added per prefs, like Latest News, Buddies, so if we don't want to use them, we just click to close them... because i don't see the use of the latest threads, we already have the forum for that... but some may need it.
