The text was by default black in the chatbox , but if users change it to a colour, the chatbox remembers that colour next time they log in. Probably easiest solution.

RichieBoy67 · #**1303** 07-31-2010, 10:26 PM

oh--The best solution is too have the default text changed.. Many users will go in and type first and then get ticked off because they have to change that so in reality your script isn't working correctly... Having the default text dark and the background dark is not the ideal set up...

I don't know, I haven't even looked at the xml yet and I was hoping not too but I don't believe anyone wants to offer support with this issue..

Paulvev, I am surprised you are getting e-mails left and right from members complaining about there text not showing..

So please, please, please--If anyone has this working with a dark style let me know. If not at some point I will fix this myself and post here but I would really rather not have to spend the time..

Thanks everyone,

Rich

The chatbox at my forum looks superb. I'm 99.9% sure the problem with the "dark styles" is a problem with the style itself, not the mod.

RichieBoy67 · #**1305** 08-01-2010, 04:05 AM

Is your default text white or is it having to be changed? The chat looks great, my only issue is the text being dark. I want the default text to be light is all..

So, is your default text white or are your members having to change it?

luseik · #**1306** 08-01-2010, 05:26 AM

Does anyone help me how to show active users below the Chat Box on the FORUMHOME?

Default is white (for that specific style). However, if I change to a light style that I also have on that forum, the text changes to black. The only things I really changed after I installed it was removing the ability to change text colors (and general access permissions), which is why I believe the problem lies with the styles themselves, not the mod.

Does anyone know how I could include this chat script on the What's New results page?
