This works really well and I am very pleased with it but since installing it yesterday my max users online ever on my new site has risen from 37 to 160 almost instantly.

All of the new visitors seem to be reading the chatbox archive.

I checked the IPs and they appear to be random users from all over the world but websites like mine do not just magically create an additional 120 users after installing one program. So there is something wrong here.

It's much easier to copy png files to needed gif files. If you rename image file just to have right extension (png becomes gif), mod will use them, as it just looks for this exact name (with gif extension). It doesn't matter what format image really is, everything will work fine.

Facebook login guys can not see it?
When people login as new user via facebook!
They can not see the chatbox although they are registered under registered users!
Any tips?

This is an ITALIAN translation made by me! (for ChatBox v3.1.6)
I hope it is useful for italian users.

I have got few groups on my forum. I try to unable to edit messages to all users except moderators. But my moderators are in 3 groups (Group1 - primary, Group2,Group3 - others). I would like to allow to edit post if someone has Group1 as primary and not allowed if someone has Group2 or Group3 as primary. But when I did it, I have go strange problem. When I try to edit its OK, but when I want to save it in chatbox my forum home page appears. When I remove Groups2 and Groups3 from "unable to edit messages" everything is OK.

Any ideas how to fix it?

I think i got it thanks....

Domenico · #**1678** 04-06-2011, 10:42 AM

I love this (all your other) hack but there is one thing wrong with it.

Usergroups NOT able to view ChatBox (comma separated ID list)
I would like this to be: Usergroups ABLE to view ChatBox (comma separated ID list)

Can this be changed? I only want the chat to be visible for the moderators and I have a lot of other usergroups.

Thanks!

How do i change the background of the chatbox?
I would like to have a clear (white or light gray) background.

Edit:
I found a solution here, but that is not what i was looking for.

What I wanted to do was a half transparant background in the chatbox, so that you can still see the image of the forum AND read the text.

I believe the Stylevar named "blockrow_background" is the one that impacts the background color for Chatbox VSA.

We are broadcasting our sim races on our CMS pages. I would love to use the VSA chat in that area (see here for demo).

Does anybody know how to make it work on CMS pages?

Hippy · #**1681** 04-09-2011, 04:17 PM

for some reason even if you remove the Show ChatBox on pages (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations option it still will not show in the CMS..

shows on every page on vb for there. ..

sorry m8
