Sorry to troubble you, but i could realy need the 3.0.0 files, if you have them handy.

You are using 3.2.3 ? Coz I tested and it work.
So either its a misconfiguration or something is not proper in your install.

Any js error ? Please post screenshots of your configurations for the PM command.

I've tried both 3.2.1 & 3.2.2, anyone got any ideas?

Last night with approx 110 members online but no one actually using the chatbox cpu usuage crept upto approx 75%.

Running dedicated quad core server with 4gb ram.

Really stuck with this now.

As told on my site, that ight come from short refresh rate.

Now if you use a permanent ban using /ban on uname <nick> it will be a permanent ban, otherwise it apply bantime > 0 and the user will be re-admited when the time expires.

Damn you are right, thanks for the notice

OK, great but, as I said, I have no experience coding such things. It would be very helpful if you could tell me EXACTLY which part I need to change, and to what.

Thank you.

If I were you the first thing I would do is get in there with your FTP program and delete all the MOD files you uploaded for a start.

At least you might get your forum back up.

Thank you.

Replace the {vb:....} by whatever html color you want (# followed by 6 digits).

The fact is that he didn't upload any files which is why he is getting this pretty clear error

Have a look in your PN-box - Please let me know, if you need more. Hope you find a fix for me and others, like "Kane@airrifle", who seems to have the same issue. THANKS!

I have the VB4 CMS Suite but I only want the chatbox to appear on the forums. I tried installing this but it wouldn't display anywhere even after activating the chatbox and changing its settings. Is it because the chatbox will only work with the CMS Integration product even if I only want it to display on the forums?

Thanks in advance.
