Now is it ok

Yes it is ok. You don't need the global line though.

would be nice to see the smilies in a button rather then a image think it looks a little nicer but all in all great mod. also why when you shut off refresh from admincp since im using ajax version dont it remove the button since it wouldnt be needed with ajax?

If you disable refresh the user should have some way of refreshing it manually. (not sure I got your question)

I guess he means that since it uses Ajax the refresh shouldn't be needed. That's how the shoutbox I used in Joomla worked. It did an automatic refresh by itself whenever a user sent a message. There was no need to press or wait for the refresh, since the message appeared instantly when the user pressed send.

exactly what I mean there really should be no need for a refresh button at all with the ajax version.

Arco, there is no way to refresh a page exactly when the user posts a new message, I think your last shoutbox had a low refresh interval instead.

I can add a hide refresh button option in the next version.

another feature would be to put the smilies on a button where the refresh would be instead of the smilie image.

A button written "smilies"? Same as the refresh button?

well the refresh button removed on the ajax version... but yes a smilies button that will open the smilies instead having the image
