Is it possible to display the chatbox in custom possitions then just the default above and below? Is there some code I could paste in where I want to display?
For exp: I like the option of displaying on forum home below but not exactly where the default position is, i want it a bit lower because it slightly make my template look broken as is. Where can I find that code to move it a little but still be able to control it?
This is not "a whell known" problem, most of the users are having it working.
Only users that have it not working complains
And by the way man keep calm and keep the bold font for you ...
In 2.x.x versions I have moved the whole javascript to yui to be compliant with vBulletin that's all.
If you are having loading issue that could be due to anything, and saying "Ho man I have a loading issue and bla bla bla this is bad bla bla bla" is not a way of resolving things out.
Most of the time it's a cache refreshing problem and if I am saying this each time it's because most of the users don't read the previous posts ...
Anyway, please send me by pm a test account to your forum and I'll have a look.
I also need ftp and admin account accesses in order to see what could cause this.
VB, I apologize if I offended you. I am just frustrated because I never had such a problem. As I mentioned, I used your product previously with no problem and had been very happy about it.
I read all pages and I found at least 10 posts stating the same problem. Then I wanted to register to http://www.forumcoding.com/ and was not accessible this morning. I have this problem from about two weeks and I tried everything.
I noticed that when I post a chat, it does not appear, if I try again it tells me "a chat in progress" but if I try to post again after 10 minutes or so, it displays both chats, so it is inconsistent.
Thank you very much for the offer, I will send you a PM with all the info required shortly.
Can someone please help me with the above request? I really would want to know if there there is a way to move the chatbox.
That I think is addded up top (go look), or it's part of the branded free option. But let VBDev verify. He's looking at adding it to the side. But you gotta give him time to reply bro. Not only does he make/support multiple products and support them well, but he's also got a life too.

I've been using this product since he released it (before the EVO one) and if you read through the pages of posts, results happen. But you can't expect results from a post like yours. "It stopped working" helps zilch bro. Did you get any errors? If you start up firefox error console, do you see any? Does it not work for just a few, etc etc? See what I mean.
If it just stopped, maybe someone changed usergroup permissions. It's looking more and more like vb 3.8.1 is causing the issues.

They all mean, to slow, to big and full of Bugs.
The best testet Version is 1.5 here.
Runs on 3.8 xxx easy an fast. And displayed in online.php an other sides. Simply, the best one
You are comparing something that's been out for how long, through how many revisions to a totally new re-coded chat? He recoded this from the ground up, give it time. Nothing is bug free. I've been on 2.10 and I've stayed there for a reason. I've learned from being a Network Admin, you don't install the latest until it's been tested and out for a while. I'd revert to 2.0.2 or 2.1.0 before 1.5.
By people reporting bugs/issues, gets results. Do you think builds before 1.5 were stable and fast?
Not sure why, but for some reason the down arrow for the Actions Menu, that was previously appearing to the left of each username in the chatbox has now disappeared.
I've verified permissions, and even my administrator account can't see it. Everything else works fine, and commands can be carried via typing them (/slap, /pm, /ban, etc), but that handy Actions menu has gone. Not even a box with a red cross... just nothing at all.
Any ideas?
