Yes yes I will correct in the next version. I have noted it.
And what about the fix for the loading forever Chatbox? It's now being reported that many people have the same problem. Slow connections make it very hard to use the hack.
Firefox 3.0.5:
- After deleting a shout, the chatbox doesn't scroll automatically to the buttom.
- When posting a (big) image or a (big) smiley in the chatbox, the chatbox also doesn't scroll to the buttom.
1 : Well if you had scroll to remove a shout then it's normal the chatbox stop scrolling automatically. Is it what you did ?
2 : You were having the chatbox totally scrolled at the bottom and then posting an image stopped it from scrolling ?
