Bozza, I replied to this. Upgrading you need to remove all the commands. Read the readme file again. It's kinda confusing I think for a new person sometimes including the channel commands one. If you need help PM me info and I'll be glad to help out and try to resolve it.
Ozzy, I'm assuming it's vb 3.7.1 per your sig. If that's the case, everything should work and sounds like the same issue Bozza is having, or it's simliar. Did you have any commands added or was it just the chat itself?
Just the chat. Have never figured out the commands lol.
We now have refresh set at 60 seconds, however if its 60 or more.. it doesnt update automatically.
Ow sorry Ranger187, didn't see your reply. Thanks again for mentioning it. However, it still doesn't work for me. I deleted all the commands and the team channel. After installing all of them again, I still don't see the channel icons at the left.
We really need the team channel back. Any further ideas? I bet I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what it is by myself...

Seems like a timing glitch of some sort.
If you have added no commands and it won't refresh which it's using AJAX something else is up. Can you pm me a test account? Or run FireFox console and post the errors you get.

Do the first thing most would do. COMPLETELY uninstall the product. I'm also talking going into ftp, removing ALL files uploaded. Make sure there are no templates for the chat anywhere. Then reinstall newest without any commands and see how it does. Also read the current bugs at the first post. I remember there is a team issue.
I have read the instructions in the command folder over and over, I have removed the chatbox and all files with it along with all command and channels files, then I re-installed as new however like before the del command is not working for me.
I can delete individual chats but I cannot clear the entire chatbox with the del/all command like before.
Does the del/all command still works with 0.4.0 or has it been removed? there are no list commands to use I only found out about the del/all command because VBdev told me.
Thanks Again

Question: Is it possible to set the max characters entered, or the max image size posted to the chatbox? One of my users pointed put that the text does not wrap after a certain point, but massive pictures are able to be posted.
This product has many problems, I uninstall this product.
Thanks
The sun is hot, I no go out. If you can't pose a reason for it, ur comments are wortless

No, this product does not as it's a shot, not an actual post and kept in a seperate location in the db. That will be up to VBdev if he sees it as something worth coding. I know I'd not enable that simple because it takes away from posting to begin with.

Jon
Add a navbar link to full screen and link it to the php file.

The text will wrap if there are spaces in it. However if a user posts something like :
For images, there is no specific management of the img bbcode in the chatbox, it relies on the vB one.
I won't make something separate so unless you install something on your vBulletin to do so you won't have it in the chatbox.

My advice is the same as yours Ranger187, I won't do that coz this is a chatbox not a full forum software
