No sorry not yet. I am a bit busy at home so haven't had the time.

Let's try to explain what I have said... lol :
when you use actions near chats : "Remove all chats of" and "Remove the chat of", a window appear with the same phrase/sentence for both actions : "The chats were succesfully removed".
Now it would be :
Action : Remove all chats of ---> Response : The chats were succesfully removed
Action : Remove the chat of ---> Response : Chat was succesfully removed
(tell you less important lol)
Smiles : it's would be useful to have only some smiles in chatbox, especially those not too big (used sometimes in forum)... that causes formatting problem to Chatbox....
No It's not, unless I register the user IP upon chat, and then add the possibility to show user ip ?
Yes, that would work
Also, how can I delete guest posts? There is no drop down arrow beside their messages? I can remove them in the Archives section, but not on the main chatbox?
Cheers

I did not have this issue with the previous version, but since I uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch I cannot get changes to the permissions to save with PM and TEAM commands or channels. I select the revision and it displays the update message, but the changes are not there when you go back to confirm.
Prior to this last update, I had the chatbox showing properly in the Arcade. Since the update the chatbox has disappeared in the Arcade. I have checked the changes I previously made to the Arcade template and the arcade/functions/functions.php files and they are all still there. I have everything set the same for the "Display and position on forum" variables.
Was something changed that would have caused this to disappear?
