I'd think you could alleviate this problem by denying unregistered users access rights to your chatbox?

Thanks!

Unninstal. Problem with hour.

I've tried looking through the thread but haven't found what I'm looking for.

Which values do you need to add to make this show when clicking the "What's New?" tab? Must be a search results template, right? Thanks in advance.

having a small issue. when i log out of the forum and get taken to the logout page, the chatbox is still showing, which is causing me to lag for some reason because of the amount of smilies i have, its downloading them all, all 700 of them, and then logging me out. never did this before. if i were to logout it would instantly remove itself from the view on the logout page.

any ideas?

How can I get large images in the chatbox to be resized? I have a image resizer installed but it only works in my forums.

djmantri · #**1057** 05-04-2010, 02:45 PM

Thanks for this nice mod.
I have a problem though. I dont want users to select their font size and set a default one. But no matter what i put in for font size to choose from, i still get really small txt. Is there any way to override it or what do i have to change to make it bigger? The reason i want bigger text then default is that the emoticons in the text make the line a bit higher and i dont really like that.
Now the line is like 5 pixels higher than the rest of the text but making the text itself bigger would kill the problem. I just cant find out what to change

I just have a few questions which would be concerns for some of my members. I started reading through this thread but lost focused (so many pages).

1. Is there an archive of past chats that could be viewable by all members?

2. Do chat "posts" get added to personal and forum "Post Counts"?

Just bumping to see if anyone knows these answers

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing

I had this and found the fix.

The problem seems to be in the installation instructions and the default configuration. If you follow step 3 of the instructions and add {vb:raw vsachatbox} to your FORUMHOME template, then by default, you will have 2 chatboxes on the page since the "Options -> VSa - Chatbox -> Position on page" is enabled by default.

Having two chatboxes on the page causes this error. The fix is to remove the code from your templates and use the options page to add the chatbox. (Or vice-versa, but why modify templates if you do not have to.)

Hope this helps.
