My BIG request here would be if somehow it would use the "FlashWindow" function to highlight the taskbar icon everytime a new message is posted. In my case, we run a "stock tips" message board and the users are mainly on their trading sites and need a way to "visually be notified" if a new "chat" has been posted.

I´m using this Mod and it´s awesome. My members are enjoying it and it´s easy to use too. However I have a small issue with IE 8.

When i´m posting/editing etc. a thread, the text box acts really weired when hovering with the mouse over it. If I uninstall the Chat Mod, everything is fine. I don´t know if this is an explicit IE8 issue or general issue.

It´s like you wanna place the cursor with your mouse but instead the box scrolls up or down. Really weired. Someone else experienced this?

If you want, we can all test it in different browsers for you. Give us a link; we're dying for something to do today.

How would I display the chatbox on a subsection of the Index rather than on the index itself?

Thanks.

It probably is a syntax error. Check any edits you made, maybe try re-uploading the mod files. It could also be coming from another mod.

If you don't let bots register and you don't let unregistered post/see the CB, then you won't have a problem. Consider changing your registration Q&A. Verify under Permissions that "Usergroups able to view ChatBox but not post messages" includes Guests, etc.

So you're saying these bots are registered members? Like I said, you need to keep them from registering then.
