Ok and error is ony showing on index.php ? not other pages ?

What have you exactly disabled ? only the chatbox through option or the whole product ?

If not the whole product please try to.

yes error only shows up on the forum homepage and not on other pages
i disabled the whole chatbox product and it still shows.

I guess this is not a chatbox error issue.

great hack thanks...as i recall in the previous version there used to be a little x icon next to every chat line to quickly delete it. i know this has been replaced by a drop down list, but shouldn't there still be a little icon so that we know where to press?

thanks again

[aranthorn]

Anyone else not able to get the /announcement working?

edit:
My bad, it just wasn't parsing an apostrophe '

UTF issue possibly?

[Dark Cynicus!]

No seems not. To find out which product causes this error, try to disable one product at a time and you'll surely find the one who is messing things up.

The deletion is available from within that little dropdown menu so there is no need for a little x icon.

Btw now commands are independant from the chatbox so this wouldn't be a logical thing.

Oh strange, I'll have a look at it. Apostrophe should be ok though, I'll ran a test.
