thanks found it after i made the post! but now i think there's is a problem with the AJAX refresh...

for some reason the actual chat stops refreshing... users have to manually hit F5 to refresh chat. You still see AJAX refreshing but the chat never actually scrolls until u collapse chatbox or refresh whole page

Can you check it out? Its really hard to explain what it does....

Might be due to a current javascript known error.

This shall be fixed in the next version.

Because you didn't read the readme which tells you how to uninstall it avoiding this.

Hey vbDev....I can reproduce this error on my site anytime you want:

Quote:
SQL error in thread/post notification when moving a thread (Can't be reproduced)
The only way I can copy a thread or move posts is to go into admin first and turn off the new thread notification in the chatbox.

Oh ok, well what i did was decrease the auto refresh rate to about 7seconds and now the chatbox works way better. I also disabled inactive mode. I believe most of the functions are now working properly!

thanks again for this mod.

Feature Request
* Disable sound button
* Add actual Channel name next to channel icon or Channel Drop down

Ack, I still can't figure out how to get it to show up on my board

The only errors I get (tried different styles) in FF error console are:
Code:
-md5hash not defined
-Some sort of a Skype error (if (str.charAt(i).match(/[^;=!@#$%^&*()_+/\\ ,.~`\"|:-]/)) break;)
Which are present regardless of hooks

>.<

You mean a temporarly disable sound ? In addition to the one in the usercp ?

Channel name can be shown in the chatbox header, there is an option for that.

These are not chatbox issues, the issue might come from your style not being uptodate ?

But you should rather ask that to vB support coz this ain't chatbox issue.
