        chatEnCours = 0;
        if (envoiAjax.handler.responseText == 'do_showban')
           window.open("mgc_chatbox.php?" + SESSIONURL + "do=showban" , "showban", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,left=0 top=0,width=600,height=900");
        else if(envoiAjax.handler.responseText != 'ok')
           myAlert(envoiAjax.handler.responseText);
        <!-- Clear du timeout pour lancer le refresh -->
        clearTimeout(refreshTimeout);
        chatbox_refresh('forced');
    }
}

problem is, the popup aint changing size, as you can see i made it quite big with no change?
It wernt at the top either, it was a little way down!

Also, this hack actually ppears to add 3 queries even without the stats enabled,

Hack active: 35 queries and server load of 4.64
Hack disabled: 32 queries and server load of 0.84

Killing my server if i may say so... Anyway of improving this please?

In the template mgc_chatbox, you should find this bit of code:

   function open_aide() {
     window.open("mgc_chatbox.php?" + SESSIONURL + "do=showaide" , "showaide", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,left=0 top=0,width=600,height=375");
   }

This is where you can change the size not as you mentionned above

For the query part, how did you measure the server load and the queries ?

For the queries, the chatbox actually uses 2 queries on the forumhome page, one to retrieve the smilies and one to retrieve the custom bbcode. The one for the bbcode can be removed (see a previous post in the thread, about bbcodecache ).

The other query might be for the refresh if you saw it by another way than the debug mode of vbulletin it might have appeared.

I think more information on the way you did it might be useful.

For the smiliey part, it could be removed in the next version by activating the smilie in a popup instead of on the page itself (queries would be run only in case of click on the button to show the page )
