everything seems to be running fine except for 1 small issue.

I can't seem to get the sound notifications to work. I have them enabled in all areas. In admin settings and in profile settings.

any help is much appreciated.

#1 no quick fix ? like maybe increasing file permissions on the sound file or something ?

#2 Also, is there anyway to find out the IP address of unregistered / guest users in the chat ?

#3 no word censor either in the chat?
