When I have my username set to visible mode in the forum and disallow invisible mode set to yes in the shoutbox, I appear offline in the shoutbox. When I set the disallow invisible mode to no, I appear as online in the shoutbox. It's almost like the shoutbox script is pointing to the opposite online/offline image from what it should be displaying. How do I correct this? Thanks!

Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.

If you allow users to use the Invisible mode in the Shoutbox, clicking the online/offline icon will turn it yellow and you will be invisible to other users (unless you shout, obviously everyone can read that).

If you do not allow users to use the Invisible mode, you will always be flagged as online when you are browsing the shoutbox.

The shoutbox' invisible mode is 100% unrelated to the forum's invisible mode.

Hello Fillip, the problem is that when I access the shoutbox it shows me offline when I have the "disallow invisible mode" set to yes. When I set it to no, it shows me online. Essentially, for me to be visible as active in the shoutbox, I have to set the "disallow invisible mode" to no, otherwise I will appear as offline even though I have not selected invisible mode in the shoutbox.

The online/offline indicator is 100% independent of the "disallow invisible mode" setting. That setting only controls whether someone can click the online/offline status to flag themselves invisible.

If the setting is set to yes and you make a shout, do you not get flagged as online?

No, it shows me as offline. I have to set the "disallow invisible mode" option to "no" to appear online.

Yeah, I wouldn't have responded to my last either...
If I set the "disallow invisible mode" option to "yes" I don't appear online when inputing an entry. Other than this, I have no other issues with the box. It's working great.

I'll look into whether I can replicate any issues with this feature as soon as I can :)

Thanks Filip, much appreciated!

I have opted to allow invisible mode. If I set Disallow "Invisible Mode" to yes, then everybody who uses the shoutbox is shown as offline. The only way to show them as "online" is to allow users to toggle to invisible mode but not toggle to that mode in the shoutbox, if that makes sense. No problems.
