You may edit messages by double clicking on them (If you have permission to do so), delete messages by clicking on the '#' in front of your messages, send a user a private message by single clicking their name, or speed up/slow down the speed messages are typed at by pressing the 'up' or 'down' arrow keys on your keyboard.

I am now getting the following errors everytime I post a new thread:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/michael/vfrworld.com/www/html/forums/includes/class_gcbos.php on line 128

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/michael/vfrworld.com/www/html/forums/includes/class_gcbos.php
Line: 128

I even tried disabling the new functionality "Alert on New Topic", and this error still appears whenever starting a new thread. The thread itself posts just fine.

REQUEST:
Add sound notification on new chat / alert.

Sincere apologies if I'm somehow missing it, but I am not finding an answer in the README. The only line I see that seems applicable says:

-Navigate to vBulletin Settings->GCBOS set the forum restrictions to disable topic notifications or disable them by selecting no

I tried setting "No" for "Display an alert on a new topic" and that did not resolve the issue.

You should be able to change this within the AdminCP "Date and Time Options" settings. Could be wrong, but I believe the chatbox uses the same timer settings as the forum.

The include for the gcbos script is still missing the type attribute

PHP Code:

<script src="http://instantjump.com/clientscript/gcbos.js"></script> 


Should be

PHP Code:

<script src="http://instantjump.com/clientscript/gcbos.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
