I just went to your forum and i see that you have different styles installed. That could be the cause of this. You need to add the chatbox variable in all your styles in one of the templates.
I'm not sure if this might fix it, but its worth a try. Also, i don't know exactly how to do it.
Maybe if VBDev shows up again, he can tell you.
me ? my site ? How do you know it , I only install the default style for VB4
I think that the problem is that the Js seems to be bugging as you stay stuck in loading stage.
Could you trace with firebug the JS queries which are performed to see if you get any error ?
If you don't know how to do it, please send me a test account to your forum by PM.

Well my first question would be : have you applied all bug corrections linked in the main post ?
Hi Guys,
I am sorry support might be a little less responsive currently, I have lots of works so few time for vBulletin.
Anyway, I plan on releasing a new version of the chatbox by the end of the month at most.
Cl?ment
Can't wait! We appreciate all the hard work

Thanks so much for the help
Should check with your host and they should be able to provide you the location of the error logs. Usually they're in the root of your main user login.
I had issues with chatboxes destroying my shared host...had to move off to dedicated hosting (well chatboxes weren't the only problem)
