Today I upgraded to php 5.2.12 and the chat no longer appears in the chat box. I see the "Loading.." but after that I just get a blank screen I'm on RC5 also.

When I go back to 5.2.11 everything works like normal.


The text i typed into the box when I was on 5.2.12 shows up in the window on 5.2.11 so its accepting the input but just not displaying anything on php 5.2.12.


EDIT: Never mind its working (luz)

Is there any way to disable topic reply notifications?

Does this update resolve the messages displaying slowly, which you mentioned in your changelog was resolved in RC1 but never showed up fixed in RC2?

I don't like the scrolling effect.

The shoutbox displays in the window, yet it contains no messages.

I went to the Unregistered / Not Logged In group, and set the permissions to:
GCBOS Permissions
Can View GCBOS
YES
Can Talk in GCBOS
YES

This has been FIXED with the latest version of RC5




NEW BUG FOUND.

Unregistered / Not Logged in users are unable to send messages, even when the permission has been set to YES under usergroups.

Sort of. In Options deselect "Alert on new topic". However, PM alerts will still be shown.
