Opera is not a "standard" browser. Check in both IE and Firefox. Look in the error console. It's gotta be templates.

Ok got my problems fixed.....

The Loading problem was fixed by modifying

var SECURITYTOKEN = "0";

and deleting the "" around the 0!

So it looks like:

<code>
var SECURITYTOKEN = 0;
</code>

That fixed the loading problem for me!

the chatbox says its constantly "loading"
And when I type something in and press enter this error shows up:

Hi,

the chatbox seems to work, but there seem to be problems with the IE.
You can't close the box, and if you click the BB-Code and the smilies, you can use the functions but errors are shown at the button left hand (a yellow warning triangle). As mentioned above, we can't close the box at all. I don't have any problems with FF and Opera. Can someone help me with the problem? I use vB 3.7.4and the Chatbox 1.1.0.

Claudi

I had to translate your image since I don't speak Turkish but I think I figured out what it is you found...LOL

The chats running horizontal in Firefox and not displaying in IE was caused by "Add Template Name in HTML Comments" set to yes? I don't have it installed the moment to test it but that makes sense...I did have that enabled. Great find!!!


Edit: I tested it and that was it!!!

I added a screen shot for us non Turkish speaking members.....Thanks again!!!
