Dev- are you saying I have the chat too big? or am allowing too many chats to be shown? what is it i have set wrong allowing this to happen exactly.
Thanks!

No I mean that the height is a fixed size set in the options.
So if a smilie is too big the problem you stated (which is not really a problem) will occur.

Have you tried through the options in the little menu ?

i think he means that the little menu doesnt show up in the archive (only in the chatbox)(delete...ignore..etc)
only the pm option show up
my new ideas:
First thing the Defult channel for the usere
what channels the user want to be inform about (for new shouts)
i think we need an icon for the chatbox rules, we can input our own rules (it will be better to be simmiler to the bbcode icon)
the last thing is when the user isnt allowed to use the chatbox (like he/she doesnt have enough posts) he/she still can see the chatbox (to be motivated )

I won't do a per user option for that.
What I can do is add the possibility for the admin to select if user should be warn in the channel creation system ?

An additionnal option to choose wether user that don't have enough posts/posts per day shall see the chatbox or not when they don't reach the criterias ?

2/ i mean the users have an option to what channel the enter by defult (now the go directly to the general channel)

umm i was also thinking about showing it for the users who doesnt have enough posts overall.
No I mean that the height is a fixed size set in the options.
So if a smilie is too big the problem you stated (which is not really a problem) will occur.
Well, I had it set to 200px tall. and 25 maximum number of chats. so you can scroll back and read the last few without going into the archive. And it works fine unless some smilies come, then it throws it off. There is always a up/down scroll bar... But when some smilies are there, the chat doesn't line up the last post correctly so you need to scroll down to see it.
If i have it set to 200px tall, and 12 maximum number of chats. there is no scroll bar, and it works fine. That's what I was asking about... shouldn't we be able to have more chats to scroll back and have the chats line up?
Thanks!
