I think I've found an anomaly, but I can't quite track down the sequence.

It's minor and I only noticed it after the code started showing in the "Who's on-Line" function, the fact that a user is in "Chat". I have noticed that on my system using v1.3 (also did it in v1.2), that it shows a "clickable" link to the Chatbox in the display, but under ""Who's on-Line", I'm always seeing myself and some others as being "in chat", when in fact, they never visited "Chat" at all during the current session?

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks

Thanks so much! Love the upgrade ^^

Glad you liked it :)

Updated, version 1.4

Added Ajax! :)

Now you can set your refresh rate to 3 seconds and make your server cry to mommy!

Oops does someone have the old zip file? I want to keep a copy of the chatbox with no ajax in this thread.

Nice work! I was meaning to ask if you had considered using Ajax. :D
I was using Joomla/SMF before switching to vB, and used a really nice shoutbox as a module in Joomla.
That one used Ajax. It also had another feature which I would like to see you implement. Since I have your chatbox as a side module in vBadvanced, the space is limited. So I've removed the code that outputs the date before every message. In the Joomla shoutbox the nice thing was that if you held your mouse over the username of a person that had sent a message, it showed how long since that message was entered. Would be cool to have that here too. :)

Here's the previous version.

Thanks arco! :)

I'll consider doing that. If you were able to remove the dates, you could well be able to add the dates as a mouseover on the user name in the code.

Yeah I probably could. I'll experiment a little and see what happens. :)

Got this message when the window refreshed in the new version.

[object HTMLSpanElement]

It appeared in a line on the top, above all the messages.
