Often my users and myself have to tip the text into the input field two times for showing up in the chatbox. What's the problem?

This occurs in latest FF and IE with latest Java/Flash installed.

No It's not, unless I register the user IP upon chat, and then add the possibility to show user ip ?

Because it's not the same file

Showthread for thread viewing, newthread for thread creation, newpost for post creation.

What version of vBulletin were you using ?

Do you specific parameters in your browser ?

Oh ok then if it's in root directory having it in a variable should work.

Give me an address where I could IM you last week so that we could try fixing it the way you want

Today's update wasn't a real update you are not forced to update boy

This is just that I changed the product files to correct a mistake (ban command phrases and settings were in it while they shouldn't have been, I just forgot to remove the ban command before exporting the chatbox product).

So you are not forced to import it again he he.

vB 3.7 beta 4

No, the problem is on all browsers. Can it be, because your mod is default in french? My users keeps reporting this as a bug

[VBDev]

No this can't be. Btw if you import english langauge file then it won't be anymore in french

But the error you shown me, where is it displayed ? In your browser error console or in the page itself ?

<font color="Red">Known uncorrectable bugs

* Menu problem with editor at bottom and prompt message in the chat input field</font>

What does this mean ? What malfunction does this cause ?

Does uncorrectable mean, you are NOT gonna fix it, or CAN'T fix it ?

It means that when the menu is opened and is a bit over the input field, then the input content will appear above the menu.

It's a problem I can't fix but that's not a big big problem, it won't mess up with your board

I have solved putting editor above chats ...

Vbdev, i have 2 question :

1. (less important ) There is a problem with command Del
   remove all chat of
   remove chat of
   When you use this commands the message prompted refers to 1 phrase (mgc_cb_evo_cmd_del_success) instead of 1 for all and 1 for 1 only message.
2. It's not possible to add a management for smiles? smile permission or a separate management for smiles from forum?

Thanks for pacience...
Ranky.

P.s.

seriously.. update almost everyday... im tired of updating this mod lol..

It's important a constant update... this mean an hack well done Which tends to perfection...
LOL...
