I made sure to upload the English language.xml
These are settings content not phrases so that's normal.
You have to put your own text in those boxes.
In the next release I'll attach the translation of the default values so that you users can work less haha.

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.
Time is showing correctly for me, have you changed the timeformat option of the chatbox ?
Yeah I know I forgot to change the version in the chatbox, but no biggie

You are using same browser as your users ? That's not really possible.

I"m having this exact same issue..how would i go about fixing this.
The problem with that is that I don't know how that {IF} thing is parsed.
Is it a custom variable or something coming along with a plugin ?

For the chatbox ? No there aren't any.
It's based on bbcodes vB parsing method so if you have one for your posts and so on, I suppose it should be active for chatbox too.
Ah ah the 2.2.1 was released 1 day after the 2.2.0.
Did you forget to update the copyright information at the bottom for 2.2.1? I have updated to 2.2.1 twice now and the tag at the bottom still says that it's 2.2.0.
My product version in the admin says 2.2.1, just not the front page.

When i test my board I test it in several browsers and they all come up the same...registered user see whatever is opposite to the settings. [I.E., firefox, chrome, and opera]
How do I check on the if thing {IF}
Instead of seeing the images i see submit query and the image url is forum/{IF}/misc/menu_open.gif
I will purchase the branding free option if someone can tell me how I achieve the following....
I need it so that just the chatbox gets launched in its own window (without anything else - no forum header, logo, navbar or other VB stuff), say 640x300px in size, via a single link to launch it.
