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.

Please can anyone tell me how to remove the type write effect?

I don't mind it on new shouts though, just not when it first fetches them.

Ah. This bug is clearly with me then! I also didn't notice the option right above that to just turn off new topic alerts entirely. Thanks for the reminder.

Before I install this, can I add this to a totally separate page? If I build a page and add it to a template, will it work?

so that's a problem for everyone

My biggest Problem is now that because my board is in german language the code settings, means that the transformation format don't can handle signs like ????

When I typ ??? for example I become : ÄÖÜ
The other things I figured now out how to disable when they are not needed.

New version supports the letters, Hans.

My problem now is the Time. We don't use dates like 7:30 pm, we're writing 19:30. For the next version it would be great to have a configure option for that.

Thank you !!!!!

BTW, just upgraded to vB4, this is working just fine.

Can't wait for the updates though and the removal of the "typewriter" effect.

Thanks much for your work!

I'm having the same issue on a clean install of vb4suite

[cbiweb]

I'm getting reports from one of my clients that the chat is randomly filling up with the HTML source code of the page it's on. I saw this happening myself a couple nights ago, so I completely ripped it out and reinstalled clean. Now it's happening again. I'm running vB4 and the most recent version of this add-on. Any suggestions?
