Anyone else have the archives function on left ???
Also, I cannot get this to work with firefox. Any idea how to fix that?
What do you mean with archives on the left? At my current setup, above the chat there is a link to the archives, and the archives itself is a full page. Don't really know what you mean.
Firefox works fine on my computer, does the chat work for you with other browsers? If not, is your FireFox updated to the lastest version?

It works in other browsers just fine. Seems like firefox is the culprit for windows only. 1 member has it working good on firefox on a mac.
See attached image of what I mean by archives and how the chat dosent appear.
Start reading near the top. I only did a quick search.....I think 2.4.2 might have issues...2.4.0/2.4.1 should be golden though...
Ranger187...
First of all...thx so much for the help...you da man!
I uninstalled 2.4.2 and am now using 2.4.1. Again, I'm on a vb 3.8.4 board and the 2.4.1 install went without a hitch. Thanks for making the recommendation.
I only have one issue that needs to be addressed, though. It seems the tabs are not working on 2.4.1, like they were on 2.4.2. I have posted at forum coding for help, and will post here, as well.
The attached images chatbox1.jpg is what I see after adding a new channel. I do not see the tabs like I did with 2.4.2, in the attached image chatbox2.jpg.
Are these tabs specific to that version of this mod, or should they also appear in the 2.4.1 version? If so...can you guide me as to what I need to do in order to get these tabs to appear?

Yes sir, I'm almost certain the tabs are new to 2.4.2 but if you read the changelog or what's new file, it should say exactly when it was added.
