That's great thanks, I've managed to get it to display on the Showthread & Forumdisplay templates, but I've also noticed that the Post New Thread button is displayed above the Chatbox & if you have any sub forums they are displayed above the chatbox as is the New Thread button.
I really like the MGC, but could I suggest you simplify it slightly as there are so many settings it's hard to remember everything you've changed, plus if permissions could be added via the settings menu rather than via the Usergroup Manager.
I've also noticed a few minor vbugs lol sorry if I'm being picky. The text entry field doesn't change, I've set it to 600px but it's stayed on 200px there were one or two other things but I can't remember them off the top of my head.
Anyway great work VB-Dev I look forward to future releases of the best Chatbox release on the VB scene.
My forum is made up of many private usergroup forums (companies), which I have created a channel for each. The problem is users forget that they are in the general channel and begin to discuss issues that should only be discussed in their private forum or private channel.
Thus the need to turn of or disable the general channel.
Activating the Automatic Update not working properly, you have to press the refresh button so they load the talks, how could I solve this problem, thanks
When I switch to french language, the date displays as %20/%08/%2010 %0606%Aug
That's because you set the Locale as false in the vbdate() call (set to true by default)
To fix that I replaced all (except for archives where you merged date and time, so locale is not necessary)
Do you mean that you see the color names as shown on your screenshot and that the dropdown doesn't show color lines as it does on some windows machine ?
Yep - in IE, it shows the colors.
Quote:
If so, it's normal, Safari and Chrome doesn't support the background-color css style for select option. There is nothing I could do about this unless I recode dropdown list and so on as it's done by vB for their dropdown list (but I don't have the time to do so sorry).
