in the zip file theres a text file with instructions on how to add there

Thank you. Installed and users loving it.

One thing, and this may be simple, but I can't figure it out.

How do you change the background color of the chatbox?

figured it out!

just paste in the iframe attributes.

I upgraded to 3.7rc yesterday and subsequently also upgraded Dream's Chatbox to 2.1. Now I (and my users) have random Ajax error messages popping up on the Forumhome where Chatbox is installed. This never happened while we were still running 3.69 + Chatbox 2.0.

See attachment.

Update: It seems the error occurs when, as the error message suggests, there is a communication loss. This can happen for instance when you unplug your internet connectivity while the chatbox ajax call is waiting for a response, or when you put your notebook to standby and resume again later.

Perhaps there is a parameter to vb's/Yahoo's Ajax routines to surpress the error exception?

Update 2: It seems there is. Yahoo Ui Library defines a YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest callback for handling failures: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/connection/ and vB is handling this via vBulletin_AJAX_Error_Handler.

OK, I replaced

with

in getNewShouts(), and the error popup seems to be gone.

Yup that happens here too when my computer hibernate and lose connection to the internet. If this gets too annoying I'll remove it depending on the status error.

Dream, there seems to be also other situations. I had a couple of my users report this to me the first day I upgraded to vB 3.7rc. To me it also popped up a few times when I switched back from another Firefox tab to the one containing my forum with the chat installed. It's probably best to make the error handling conditional and ignore it in case of a "connection loss".

can someone please tell me how many queries this thing will use? What are the pro and con among this with MCG and CChat?

When i am idle on the forum page it pops this error up.

"AJAX error, please try again (HTTP status:0/Communication failure)"

I see you guys are aware of this. Can u tell me how to disable this?
