Besides the problem with IE (you can't see shouts) we noticed another problem.
If the shoutbox is available in vBCMS portal the pop-up windows for new PN does not appear any more.
If the shoutbox is deactivated or it's on the forum site, the pop-up window works great.
I have followed the readme instructions and uploaded the files / done the language thing etc. But how do I use the admin panel to actually install / import the shoutbox? I'm very new to the software so aplogies for the simple question.
Thanks, Rob.
PS - does the shoutbox auto update after somebody posts a message?
Hi
Go to the Plugins & Products section of the AdminCP then select Manage Products. At the bottom of that page you'll see an Add/Import Product link.
Yes it does.

In internet explorer, my members click the smilie face to bring up the first rows of smilies, they click on the more button and the rest of the smilies come up.
However when they click on the smilie they want to post, it won't post it in the text box.

I have a similar problem in Firefox 3 with the smilies in the 'More' window, while the ones displayed in the line under the text box after just clicking the smiley icon work fine.
Can anyone who has it working and likes it please explain to me how the "Users in the Chatbox" feature works? What settings can I use to make it actually even CLOSE to accurate?
I can have 10 people actively chatting in it, and it tells there is no one in there....and the opposite is true as well. I have the refresh settings set fairly low, so there is not much time delay.
I'm having an issue with my install of the latest version.
I have it so the newest posts display at the bottom, but the chat box doesn't seem to scroll down as new chats come in. If that explains my problem well enough.
