If you want certain usergroups to see who's online in the chatbox then give them the right to the chatbox. This is to specific sorry.
I ask for this function, for those boards that have their chatbox available for sponsors / VIPs only. Your chat box is ideal for drawing donations. More members would want to make use of the chat box if they see that there is activity in the chat box. If they can see activity, then more members would sponsor/donate.
Any other solution to show activity in the chat box would also be very welcome.
i have a problem with the archives and the full page link not working. When i try to see the archives or the full page mode the chatbox disapears and i get this error at the top of the page
Sheesh. I have like 100+ hours into helping people in this mod and it's not even mine. Ya people need to breathe! I get just as fed up when something doesn't work, but finding the issue helps VBdev too..... If I didn't spend so much time on the loading issue, I'd never have known the mod_security was one of the reasons.
PM me ur site info and a test admin account if you want me to look into it... .If you got it working, let us know too.
I am sure it's something simple but I have the ChatBox up on my forum (v 3.7.2) and it looks great but when I type in the text box and hit enter or click go the text doesn't appear in the chatbox. Any clues?
