I have stumbled upon an issue, I have a lot of usergroups based on the fact I run a gaming forum dedicated to football, each team has its own dressing room (private) to access these private dressing rooms members have to be in an additional usergroup this appears to override the main usergroup.

For example, I'm the site administrator, but I also run a team, so I have a private dressing room, I need to give myself additional user status but it is conflicting, it is happening with others who have additional usergroup status, but because many folk have addition usergroup status to access dressing rooms for example I cannot take away that additional usergroup.

So I guess what am I supposed to do?

Just ran some tests ...

Slowed down our home page loading by a factor of 2? :D

Anyone placing it elsewhere that people notice and it's more efficient loading?

Is that all? I dunno, I suppose even a hosted chatbox would slow the page down somewhat (though eliminating server load). I can't think of a better place to put it if you want people to see it.

But I'll repeat the standard chatbox warning: If you're on shared hosting or server loads are an issue, you really need to at the very least configure it as a shoutbox - logging people out quickly so they don't hang around.

Thanks.... being computer illiterate most of the time, I'm not sure what a ShoutBox is or how to configure ChatBox that way ... :D

In any event, I put it under the Navbar in out off-topic forum, so it's only displayed when members go in there. We'll try it for a while and see how it goes.

Some members are already asking if there's any kind of optional user setting for an alert system that would tell them if new messages have been posted to the ChatBox?

Thanks again for your work... :)

An oft-requested feature, but apparently not one that's easy to implement. But someone did figure it out and the instructions are buried in this thread somewhere but I'll warn you the procedure is not for the feint of heart. And it's not for shared servers or anyone else worried about server load.

Why can't all mods be this easy to install :) Awesome! Thanks so much.

When i open my Forum site in Mozilla Firefox as a guest, in chatbox window is loaded again my whole website, not shouts. But when i refresh site, its shown properly.

How to fix it please?

Ok is there any way to have it auto log you in? everytime I go to refresh the page or come back in I have to click log in to chat. Sorry if this has been answered I didnt read all 155 pages of posts

You wouldn't have to read any pages to find the option in settings that logs users out after x minutes of inactivity. If you aren't on a shared server and don't care about server load, set it to something high.

Two questions. First how do I change the input field where you type to a different color. Next how do you change the statics so you can see the words. Thank you all.
