but it is still need translation to Arabic, alessai why not help us for this version ? i want to help others but i don't know French language. Only french frise !
My members and I have noticed that our forum 'freezes' while reloading the chatbox. If I set it for 2 seconds, it freezes every 2 seconds.
Any suggestions on this?
Maybe you have it set too high? I would think every 2 seconds would put a huge strain on resources, especially if a lot of people are viewing the ChatBox at the same time.

I had it set at 60 seconds afterwards, and it still froze everytime the shoutbox updated.
I understand about the time. Thanks for putting this whole program together in the first place!
I tried to create a channel. It wouldn't let me do that without creating a command as well. I called the command "test". When I typed in /test in the chatbox .. nothing happened, except that the message "/test" was posted.
I am not quite clear on what channels are, though I think they are basically different chat rooms... such as "join chat for discussing crazy stuff" or "chat for talking about why dogs are better than cats".
I am not clear on what commands are supposed to be, but I think they are things that happen when you type in /command... like in IRC, typing in " /me gives a high five"
would output
"Keyser520 gives a high five".
I also think, again not sure, but think, that a command would let you switch channels, too.
Am I on the right track? What am I missing?
With the last version, you are not forced to create a command, the command creation can be done along with the channel creation.
Have oyou installed the last version ?

My question: where are the forum styles directories ?
thanks for any help!
It depends of the styles you have installed on your forum.
