errr... missed

...
then, anyway, you could have a look to that chatbox_saisie
template because everything in that bar is there...
have you tried to reduce the width of the input box in half ?
and if nothing works, maybe you could try to use the install
script, just delete the chatbox templates and bypass the first
part where it does the querrys then chose the templateset
where you want the templates added and go to the next step...
last, you could pm me the template chatbox_saisie, i'd have a
look for you.
@ wolfman : i'd be you, i'd redo the install from 0. if it still
doesnt work, it must be another hack wich interacts with
your smiliesbox function since i'm using the usual function on
that part.
