I have put the uptodate translation of the chatbox in german, you have used it ?

In that case, have you tried with english langauge ? Perhaps the issue is on that side.

Yes, the german language is the problem! No errors with the english language.

Getting what ? I don't see anything.

Apologies.

I thought I had deleted my post.

That last quote, was the beginning of a post containing huge array of database errors. Which crashed the forum. We got it fixed, please disregard that last message.

Please can you confirm, the last good working version of the chat prior to vb3.8 version.

So that we may download and start over.

I am having major refresh issues with the 2.3.2 version. Most of the time the refresh stops working after a minute or two, or doesn't work at all. (It IS enabled!)

I upgraded from 2.2.0 (I also made sure to run the upgrade script as well.)

I've also switched back and forth between running the YUI direct from yahoo and from the server, but still having the chat get stuck on the "Loading..." screen or stuck on the chat screen without refreshing.

Is there a way to get the chatbox to display on the vbBlogs homepage and members blogs?

[princeedward]

hi....really can't make this chatbox to my site vB3.6.8. also the language can't upload it...due to wrong version....can anyone help me on this please...

[yotsume]

Doesn't the directions say to check the ignore language version when you import the language xml... HINT HINT I think you missed something in the directions.
