Most of my users are still having trouble with the shoutbox loading.

Is this a known issue?

I am on the latest release in hopes of fixing the old lag issue.

I followed the instructions to the "T" best I can tell... I've tried numerous time to install, with the same results...

Hopefully this is an easy answer. How can I get the chatbox "not" to show up on a certain style. I've tried creating a new style with no parent style, hoping that the code wouldn't be injected, but the chatbox still shows up. What template do I need to edit and what part needs to be edited to remove the chatbox from, for instance, my iphone style.?

Thanks...

you probably have one or more older templates that are not including the securitytoken with the post.

look here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177013 thelast post contains the down and dirty fix.

Here is a visual tour Memorize chats formatting chosen by users in the chatbox set to YES.

1. First, I send some text with ALL defaults - everything is like it should be:




2. Then I do formating text, and I see on the input bar how text should looks like:




3. Text is showing like it should...




4. Now I back ALL to default, and I turn OFF B, I and U tags




5. After click on OK, I got THIS?! Font is bigget then it should be (you see on top DEFAULT font size!!!)




6. OK. Let see how text is show if I set SIZE to 3?




7. Hmmm, same like a step before......




8. OK... And if I size set to 4....?




9. Hmmm, text looks bold?




10. Let's turn ON bold to see changes.....




11. Yes, text is NOW bold....?!




12. BUT, if I again ALL back to default and type text, formating not chahged!!!!! All text are BOLD and SIZE 4! P. S. In this stage, this option (Memorise Chat Formating....) is STILL set to YES (I still not refreshed page)!!!!!




13. If I go to: UserCP -> User Options (on bottom of the screen), I have this Chat Options... Hmmm, all of this settings are selected here (bold, size)!?!?!?




14. HERE, I change ALL options to DEFAULT, and click SAVE CHANGES




15. And NOW, option Memorize chats formatting chosen by users in the chatbox is set to NO!!!! (page are refreshed now)!!! Now Again type same text...... click to OK.....




16. ... and voala! Text are displayed like it should!!!




17. Let's now format text (font, size, color). ALL selected formating I can see on input field....... click to OK.......




18. ... and text are NOT formated!!!




Here's something wrong
Wow What a post !!! I'll replay this once I work on next bug fixing version to find what's wrong.

Unless you installed it incorrectly you shouldn't have issue.

"Easy", I won't say that but it's feasible.

A way to do it is to look at the style issue fix in the readme. It explains you how to put chatbox on a var for forumhome.

Then just insert it only in the needed style

VBDev, any way I can add the chat box outside forum_home?

When I try to add:
$chatbox_forumhome

On another template, such as of another plugin so people can chat at the bottom, it won't show up. The $chatbox_forumhome works though on forumhome.
