It does, just ensure that you are using the right command syntax.

It's because the db request for both is the same => depending on the activity ones might be empty.

You can solve that by setting the Seperate notifications and chats SQL queries to Yes

Two reasons for this delay :

• Javascript loading: if you have set the chatbox option for loading javascript YUI files from Yahoo server then they are not cached => reload at each page load.
• Chats loading: depends of how much chats you have set to show in the chatbox. If you have set a big amount of chats then just thought at it, every chat is composed of text which makes kilobytes to download. Per consequence, if there is lot of chats, there is lot of data to retrieve and it takes 1 or 2 seconds or more depending of the amount of chats and the speed of your internet connection.

Are you sure ?

You already can, there is an option for that.

Already implemented, check usergroup permissions.

In the next chatbox version I have added the possibility to move the notifications to a sidebar on the right or on the left.

Perhaps that fits ?

Advanced Forum Statistics)

Well editing the format is equivalent to edit the sentences, so you can already change the format.

Nice thought, adding this to the list.

Not sure it's possible as the forum offline doesn't allow anything normally.

I was just wondering if it was resolved or perhaps accidentally forgotten about. The issue was that when a user types in a chat that is only a link the chat cant be edited. There is no way to double click anywhere on the chatline so that the edit box will appear. Also if someone types in a chat that is a picture but they type the link in wrong, then no picture shows up and the chat is blank. But there is no way to edit the chat afterward. Back in the older 1.1.0 versions you were still able to click someone on the chatline and the edit box would appear.

This had been fixed in the last version, now there is an edit chat link in the menu to work out this kind of issue

It's in your vBseo options, there is a box for that.
