I am having this same problem where the chatbox doesn't show new messages (Messages are only shown in the archives), is there a solution?
Also my admin options are in french. I have uploaded the lang file. ?
Is this beta software?
You need to try clearing out all your cache, cookies, temporary internet files and everything just to be sure. I had the same problem and clearing my cache fixed it. :up:
Hey Andrew have you noticed that there is a problem when a user clicks on a buncha of smileys in one chat? Like if someone clicks on like 20 smileys in one chat (doesn't have to be 20 I am just using that as an example) after so many of them they will start to get broken up.. Check out the picture below...
Can you fix the problem with the noparse tag? It doesn't seem to work in this shoutbox. It just completely ignores this standard vBulletin BB code flat out and formats the text or whatever anyway.
Which noparse tag ??

I deleted the tables associated with this program. STILL errors.
THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE BEWARE>>> I HAVE WASTED 3 hours of my time deleting and restoring forums.. INSTALLER BEWARE..
Yes please stop saying stupid things like that...
This software ain't beta, it's just you're not following the uninstall instructions correctly.
It's stated in the readme file (yeah I know reading is hard ...) that you have to remove all files and then uninstall the product.
If you're still getting that error it's because you haven't removed all files and especially the ones in the includes/xml directory, which is why you get that error each time you go in your usergroup permissions.
I have written a readme to help others and the instructions are pretty clear. It's up to you to read them correctly (which should be what you always do as a carefully admin).

Hum that's strange, this part is using vBulletin default smileys parsing.
Do you get the same problem if you do the same in your forum posts ?

Yes it shows the same thing in the chatbox as it does in the archives. I have tried this using my default style and it does the same thing as well. Have you tried clicking on a bunch of smileys and then submitting the chat and see what it does? It does it even if I click a buncha of different smileys or just the same ones. Everytime I do it, it always screws up the 8th smiley and then the 7th etc. Kinda weird.
