I reinstalled the chatbox (I'll try doing that again) and its not a specific style (doesn't work on default with all other hooks disabled).

NEway, thanks for the fast help ^^

((Yeah I know the errors aren't chatbox issues, sorry if that was misleading. I just posted them b.c I think you asked if there were any console errors from FF earlier))

[Celebutopia]

I tried installing this and all I kept getting where db errors that stated the following:

Well as I have said many times : read the uninstall instructions !!

[RedGTiVR6]

I'm sure this has been covered before, but with 293 pages, it's a little hard to keep up!

I've got this installed with no problems currently other than the fact that a number of the settings are still showing up in French. Any ideas how I can fix this?

I made sure to upload the English language.xml

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I've noticed that the time isn't showing up correctly.

For instance, right now it's 7:33 PM, but the time is showing up as 7:1 PM on the Chat box. One other minor bug, the version still states 2.2.0 in the bottom of the chat box, even though it's listed as 2.2.1 in the products in the AdminCP.

[fukdawrld]

I have 2 issues:

Ok i have a very strange problem. It seems whatever display order I have my chats on is opposite for registered users. If i have it set to "newest first" my admins, mods, supermod, all see it as newest first...but my registered users see it as oldest first???? Any Ideas?


The other has been asked in this thread a few times but with no clear answers:

Or at least whatever string is including that variable for the image output is getting URLENCODED too soon. Again, I don't know where this is happening, but I'm trying to figure it out.

UPDATE
-------

Ok, I found the exact cause now, it's my custom theme. It has a custom variable called {IF} (Images Folder) which translates to "%7BIF%7D" when it's URLDECODED. So somewhere within this mod I'd guess that it needs to check/process the replacement variables when building the images folder variable ($stylevar['imgdir_misc']). I have no idea where that might be or how to do it though.

------------
Ok, I found what the problem is, just not a solution yet.

I searched this thread and found one other person with the problem, although no solution was posted.

The problem is, somewhere the text "%7BIF%7D" is getting inserted into the image URL paths. I've done some searches and cannot find this text anywhere.

I"m having this exact same issue..how would i go about fixing this.

[Ranger187]

Me of all people should know, but VBDev or whomever, is there a resizer so if images are posted, it restricts them to a certain size (settable by usergroup) or whatever?
