Thanks for the quick response. I moved back to version 4 as my users (what few they are) consider this the number one feature ever in a Vb board!
I don't have firefox but would be more than happy to go get it if it would help fix me up..
Oddly enough, there's no error that I can detect: As an example, if I want to enter a url or image, I click the approriate icon, the screen dims (similar to log off), the foreground entry box pops up as expected and if I hit cancel (for instance) - the entry box goes away but the screen and cursor never return.. If I refresh the entire page, all is well again...
I know I'm grasping at staws here as it obvious the product is perfect in all the other styles. I can't locate anything in the two oddballs that would interfere but will keep looking.
Perhaps I should wait and see what happens with a newer version later?
Yes certainly coz currently I am a bit buzy. I'll leave for a two weeks holiday (from the 15 August to the 31 August) so I am not really available to help out
Anyway yes you should wait for the next version but I don't think this version will change the problem as this part of the chatbox wasn't changed.
The changes to it were introduced in the 5.0 version. The popup is based on a jquery plugin so I am not sure I'll be really able to fix that out but let's see once the new version of the chatbox is up
Yes it does make sense but there is no query for that. The only thing would be to make a change in the code to display the BBCODE bar collapsed by default.
I would actually like it to appear UNcollapsed by default. That way it's there all the time regardless of what the user chooses. What template would I need to modify to make it do this? Thanks!
Nice mod and I would love to use it but not comfortable with the fact it forces everyone to read it the content.
Is there or would it be possible to add a section in the users CP to totally disable it?
Thank You.
Not that it's perfect but I have a couple of styles that I left it out of (for mobile purposes). This allows the user to select a style w/chat or w/o chat...
i have a problem with the archives and the full page link not working. When i try to see the archives or the full page mode the chatbox disapears and i get this error at the top of the page
