Did a search in this thread and nothing turned up unless I missed it...

Installed this on a VB 3.7.2, it works fine, but when enabling the PM tabs function the box disappears and it looks like this:


Turning off the PM tab feature the box returns to normal functionality. Is there something we're missing here?

Outside of that, one of the better plugins made. Good work.

You have to go into your "User Groups" and enable it for the user groups you want to see it.

I have searched & searched & see others are also having an issue with commands dropdown links not working.
Has anyone solved this issue & would be willing to share your information?

Look in the chatbox help, if you have enabled the ban command.

Are you referring to the down carat to the left of the bubble next to the name? If you click it, it does NOT show, right? Try this, click on the carat, and scroll down. You might see the box floating in the middle of the page somewhere. If that is the case then you need adjust some of the CSS for the chatbox.

You need find the div 'div.cb_vbmenu_head' or a dive in that 'Actions' block, and adjust the element position:absolute; to position:relative;

That worked for me when I couldn't find my dropdown either. Cheers!

Thanks for your reply... the css is not the issue, nothing works when I click anything in the dropdown, after clicking lets say, Report Chat" the drop down just closes & nothing happens... this happens wit every link within the dropdown.. Not sure why... I see others are having this same issue also.

I don't remember having this issue with last version.

===============================

VBDev..... We are running the live version on mgcproducts on php 5.2 I think it's time to have it upgraded to php 5.3 because this issue is too large and replicated among a lot of people now.

I am running PHP v5.3.13 and it works for me....

Just a thought, the people with php 5.3 do you have short open tags on or off in the ini?

All the bases are vb4.x
PHP 5.2 / 5.3

VB3 will have calls and functions not found in PHP 5.3 due to VB changing the code.
