Hi - our chatbox has been working fantastic, and is the most popular part of our site, but in the past week many of our members have said it isn't working - it just keeps saying "Loading" but the chat never shows up. It seems very intermittent - some members can use it fine, others it won't work. And a few minutes later it works again.
I have done all the upgrades today just to see if that helped, but its still happening. Any ideas?

OK You know how normally a user has to hit the BBCODE button to get the Fonts, Links, EMail, Image buttons to show up? Well I would like to make it so that the BBCODE buttons ALWAYS show up. I've got a buncha members all wondering where to change their font color and add images etc. So if the BBCODE buttons were always there, I think it would help resolve the issue a little.
I seen that there is an option to make it so that if the users click on BBCODE that it will always stay there even when they log out and log back in, but I think it's that initial getting them to click on it first, and I don't have time to help school every member on how things work.
Sooo I figure that there must be some sorta query that I can run so that it will make it so that the BBCODE buttons show up automatically for EVERY member. Does that make sense?
Anibody now how can i do to delete these "<" ">" in the chat box?
Anybody could tell me please?
Thanks for this great mod first of all, kind regards.
Under edit options of the chat box select chat display and then under that option there is an option "HTML Code for the usernames display". In that option you can remove teh brackets.
