Well I don't know will have to dig because I use yui for popups and it does manage the whole thing itself.
I don't have a quick how to right now will have to check yui notification. I note it in the todo list.
Appreciate for ur comment but is that a permanent solution to this problem?

Seems to work though. No one that has done that has had it come back.. at least till the "real"(?) fix comes out.. better than getting the error all the time LOL

Oh ok cool, the notifications those are the things that show up in the chatbox saying that a new post was made or a new thread was created right?
yes--If you have
Quote:
NEW Separate SQL query for the notifications
By default, the notifications are considered as chats in order not to add an additional query at each chatbox refresh.
By activating this option, notifications will be retrieved from a separate query allowing you to separately set the number of displayed notifications.
set to yes (default is no) the mod is necessary from my understanding.
When You Edit a Shout all the Most Recent Shouts from the Edited one are not Displayed and the ShoutBox Stays on "Loading" those most Recent Shouts; that don't change even by pressing the "Refresh" Button.
Only Some Minutes Later the ShoutBox decides to Display the Changed Messages and the Newest Ones (from the Changed One).
Is curious because for Unregistered Users (Only the Can See ChatBox Option On), the Changes can be seen immediately.
I Hope you can Detect and Fix that Small Bug.
I liked all the other Improvements, Thank You For Sharing this Great Mod.
