did any one test the £ and the % to see if it works im still having probs with them if i type them in and hit enter they will disapear and then i cant type anything else till i refresh the forum
OK I dunno what the deal is but I have unintalled and reinstalled EVERYTHING like 4 times now and I keep getting the same error over and over everytime I type a message in the chatbox and hit enter, rather than display the chat it takes me to a new page and says this.

There ain't such possibilities. But I could do as for the ban command, would like that ?
Having an option to stop users having admin/mods on ignore would be very useful I feel, so yes that would be a great addition when you have time of course. Thanks!
Ok then give me the url of your forum along with test account plz (admin rights would be appreciated).

Really ? Where you using an older version of the chatbox before ? (If yes you should refresh your browser cache).

You are using vB3.7 right ?
Yes I was using 0.5.0 on 3.7.3 PL1, I tried clearing ALL my private data including cache, cookies, saved passwords, authenticated sessions etc. I even tried using two different browsers and they both do the same thing. Any other ideas?

Can you please send me by pm your admin account info and forum url ?
The save bbcode and smilies status problem might be an individual problem. It only acts this way on the pc I mainly use. Another pc does not have any problems with it on IE7.
Funny is that the behaviour now changed after I have deleted all temp data in my browser. It won' t expand those lines any more, but collapses them (save status turned on of course).
Anyways, this setting is not very important for me. I can live with collapsing those lines on page load.
What bothers me much more, is that I cannot figure out how to adjust the chatbox to vbadvanced portal' s side columns. I hope the other user tells us how he got rid of the horizontal scrollbar on IE7.
And how do you change the display of the bbcode line? It does not line break in IE7 and therefore stretches the whole portal.
Here is another issue. Does anyone experience the following problem? If you delete a chat and the chatbox is open in another browser and get refreshed, that browser will not update the chatbox correctly. It will replace the deleted message with an older message. I have also deleted older messages through the archive page, then I was presented 3 old message of another user on top of the message list.
I hope you understand what I mean. To experience it, you basically open two browsers, have more total messages than the maximum displayed amount in your chatbox, delete a message in one browser and see what happens in the other browser after ajax refresh.

All special characters on my keyboard display fine. Since I do not have ? on my keyboard, I could only test it with copy and paste and it displayed correctly, too.
Here are the characters I tested: !"?$%&/()=?`?^?@?~?\}][{|???ߣ

I don' t think it is a good idea to create an external forum for the chatbox. You would need to keep an eye on both forums (this topic and the external forum) and you might have to deal with cross posting. If you leave the whole discussion here, there are better chances that frequently asked questions can be found in this topic and that users who have installed the chatbox assist in supporting the mod.
