installed, everything seems fine, but the chatbox is not displaying. I looked to see if it was active and set to display and everything seems ok. I even created a channel and set permissions to all users without success... vB 3.8.5 here any ideas?
@all :
Come'on guys don't hurry on me I am porting the stuff!
I have currently reached a point where the chatbox is working again. I have still templates to port to vB4 coding way and also find out what I changed from the 2.4.0 to the 2.4.2 version as I have lost files... Then will come the time to checkout the bugs and add perhaps some functionnalities mainly related to vB4.
One point to note is that the chatbox will be compatible with both vB3 and vB4 versions
I'll start looking for beta testers (serious ones for intense testing) in the coming weeks.
Great to hear that a VB4 compatible version is in the works. Still the best chatbox out there for vBulletin IMO.
Old news.

Usergroup permissions. I know for a fact it works on php 5.3

Have you checked the php logs of your server for error ?

It's not fully supporting vBAdvanced. I have to dig into that since a long time and never really took the time. I'll check it out in the next release which will be compatible with both vB3.8 and vB4.
