No no no !!! That would mess things up

If you are getting security token issues with your chatbox version, check that you have uploaded all the files and refresh your browser cache.

vBulletin has a copyright at the bottom, do you remove it ? I don't think so...

But, the VB copyright isn't right in your face like this one, it's at the bottom, as are other copyrights which get added by other plugin creators.

now I fixed but I have one problem again I cant see chats I can see them on archives but I cant see on chat box I just see loading pic

No, I wanted to say that there is maybe an error in your ajax code, which is not fatal.

But maybe it has something to do with that, that a few users reportet, having to reload the page, before they are able to see their own shouts or the shouts of an other person.

*edit*
And maybe it has also anything to do with this:

A user (with internet explorer) has reported it...

this copyright is at the bottom too - the bottom of the plugin

If it's too much of a hassle for you I'm sure you can use Inferno vBShout lite - last update May 13th
or Cyb Chatbox - last update Sept 22nd, cChatbox last updated Aug 28th, vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0 - last update June 19th, Dream's Chatbox - last update Oct 10th, or GSBOS - last update oct 1st. Or deal with a lil copyright and have a developer that is constantly making upgrades, helping users, developing add-ons and so forth.....(well guess you could try to write your own!)

After all, you get what you pay for

I believe I already stated that I'd continue to use the previous version.
Don't put words into my mouth.
It's just my opinion that having a copyright notice right under the chat area, is a bit much

Alright found a couple more issues with the "Archives".

First when I do a search in the archives say for example I search for the word "Hello", well if the results return more than one page of results and I try to click on another page, it returns the error of "That user doesn't exist!" See video...


Second: If I try selecting the option "The Beginning" in the archives, the page refreshes and then returns back to "Yesterday". If I select anything else it works fine so it seems like the only one that isn't working is "The Beginning"... See Video...

Hum, do the following check :

• All your chatbox templates are reverted
• You are running the last js files
• Your browser cache is refreshed

You're running a vB3.6 version ?

The user, did he report that multiple times or only once ?

Ok, is is now shouting in the chatbox. I think it was once.

The "blinking channel icons"-feature is not working any more. I think it as anything to do with this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=3388

When I deactivate this feature, Firebug don't show this ajax error any more...


Greetings.
