Very frequent I get this message...

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.]]>
The chatbox is emty but...

When I do F5 (refresh) it will go away. Its mostly at random.

Any Idea?

@Valter:
nice job!

But could you please focus on using your own php file? Using plug-ins is quite an unclean method...

InsomniacP · #**224** 02-09-2010, 10:37 AM

I have this installed, and just updated to the latest patch and eveything is working fine I have given this MOD 5 stars and nominated it for MOD of the month...

Great work Volter! you have followed this up with instant support nice to see coders working free to this standard!

Regards,
Paul

enoobz · #**228** 02-09-2010, 11:56 AM

Yups.. cannot promote to article.. even cannot create article.

Retracting my MOTM nomination for this Mod until this problem solved.

Riccardo83 · #**229** 02-09-2010, 12:18 PM

I get this error when creating articles, had to disable plugin, since without creating articles mz site is useless.

If you all read a few pages back he will be working on the CMS Article error. He just needed admin access to see the message and work with it to get it fixed to someones site.

mfbmike · #**231** 02-09-2010, 02:00 PM

Thanks tons for the update.

{vb:raw vsachatbox} is now working on my site www.digitalsportscene.com and allowed me to place the chatbox underneath my espn bottom line widget. Previously I was unable to manually place it and it was stuck on top and didn't look right.

Thanks Valter.

Oh, and I am also not getting the CMS errors that others are mentioning.
