With New Album Picture Forum Home above, and VSa - Advanced Forum Statistics below, I have a problem, only with Safari browser.
How can I fix it ?
Thanks a lot !

I have disabled it temporarily, but why would search engines come to my site JUST BECAUSE the Chatbox is enabled? Maybe the chatbox is causing a problem with VB4, because all the connected users where in the Archive.

I usually have 50-100 connected users. I had 1780 users a few minutes ago, 90% in the chatbox archive. There's a bug someplace, not releasing connected users.

There's definitely a bug with the Chatbox and connected users on my site. If I disable it for unregistered users, and I clean my sessions table, the connected users drop to 100. When I re-enable the Chatbox for unregistered users, bang, the connections spike in a matter of seconds and they all go in the Chatbox archive.

How can I disable the Archive for unregistered users?

Was previously using CybChatbox with vb3 but when upgraded to vb4, I am not using VSaChatbox.

We have found a bug where when a user types a very long word without a space, the chatbox is extended all the way. The chatbox should respect the width and auto puts the continuing letters to the next line.

Adam H · #**1017** 04-17-2010, 01:28 PM

Is there anyway to make this work in the sidebar , and also have the members last chatbox message in their profiles ?

So it act's like a status up date mod instead ?

dbigras · #**1018** 04-17-2010, 05:20 PM

Oh great, now I found another major bug with this Chat and I might have to remove it.

It crashes Internet Explorer.

But it doesn't crash Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari.

Running VB4.0.2pl4. When I run the Chatbox below the navbar or inside VBAdvanced, it crashes people using Internet Explorer. I believe this could be the problem with phantom users.

Diablotic · #**1019** 04-17-2010, 05:39 PM

Is there any way of adding text: "This chatbox is not for asking questions, it is for small chat only" somewhere in the area of chatbox?
