Any differences between those users in term of rights in the chatbox and so on ? (Style, ...).
QUOTE]

Hi - sorry for not answering this sooner, I've been on holidays. No, there's no difference in terms of rights to use the chatbox. And it happens intermittently to the same user at different times - sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't! In fact, I'm in an internet cafe right now, and it won't work for me, but it works fine all the rest of the time for me.

If you would like an administrator account to look at our site, please let me know and I'll pm you the info.

Thanks!!

If it works one place and not another, it's cookies, or the server.

I have a suggestion for this mod which I love. I know you have a couple of add ons like the me and delete commands and others. Would it be possible to create an add on to this that would let users know in the shout box when they receive a new private message like if I was chatting in teh chat box and I receive a PM I see a message in the chatbox saying that I have received a PM. Just a suggestion.

[VBDev]

In the next version, PM will be shown in the channel they are sent in So I think it's ok no ?

I am not talking about the private message chat. I am talking about when you receive a private message in your inbox. You know you receive a pop up saying you have receive a private message from..... I thought it would be a nice feature to add that a message would display that you have received a new private message in your inbox. Something like "skywalker2208 you have received a new private message from.....". The only reason I bring this up is because sometimes members don't know when they have received a new private message because the page doesn't refresh only the chat box does and members tend to say hey skywalker2208 I sent you a private message. Get it?

[VBDev]

Oh ! No sorry I won't do that it's fully outside of the chatbox scope honestly.

For me it's not a chatbox functionnality.

Not sure if I am missing it but would be nice to have a button for selecting all the chat boxes for quick erase
