Now I have another problem. The shoutbox just says "Loading..."

[adnedarn]

Did you ever have a time that it was working? What version of Vbulletin are you using?

It was working fine until I got the language problem fixed, I also cleared my cache, not sure if that if the cause. But I cannot use the shoutbox at all now.

[adnedarn]

I'm not a coder- but I don't know what installing a language pack could do to cause it... All I could come up with is:

* 3.6 version of vB : Don't forget SECURITYTOKEN modification as explained in install instructions
* Check that you haven't any non reverted chatbox templates (one that you might have modified)
* Refresh your browser cache

edit: I see a chat working on your site... maybe they're not compatible?

the site I'm having the problem on is http://6ga.accordtuner.com/forums/index.php

I think clearing my cache screwed something up on my end cause I can't see anything. I tried rebooting, reconnecting etc.. nothing has worked.

[adnedarn]

nah- clearing your cache couldn't cause a problem.. it would just redownload the files.... How did you do it? Hold CTRL + Shift press reload? Which browser? Have you tried another (IE/Firefox...)

edit: if you turn it on for unregistered visitors I'll see if I can see it...

Firefox, just used the clear private data option.

It's enabled for guests now.

[adnedarn]

Yep- it works... (firefox and IE) do what I said above.. Hold ctrl and shift and click refresh for firefox...

Shoutbox works when I'm not logged in but soon as I do login it says Loading..

crtl+shift+refresh didn't work.

[adnedarn]

But it's working for all those other people that are talking? Alright- you got me there. I would have to think it's something with your browser... Just because others are using it. Perhaps VBdev will have more ideas for you.
