I went to that folder, uploaded all the images in /images/misc, and when I installed the chat, I see the chat box but without the images. How should I fix this?

And my 2nd question: How do I put the chatbox in the CMS page? Is that possible?

[Skyrider]

Hyper, use internet explorer to see the dead images. From there, right click on the image and select properties to see where it's trying to load the images from. FireFox has its ways to remove all the dead images so that's rather annoying.. Hence I suggested internet explorer.

We're trying to manually place the chat box in the ad_loction_ undernavbar option to show on the forumhome, fourmdisplay and showthread pages but it's not working.
Did this stop working, all we want is to play the chatbox under the navbar on the forumdisplay pages since if there are subforums, it gets placed in the middle of the page...

[CardMafia]

Maybe someone can help me here My current site I use a different chat box system but this one seems to possibly have a lot more features than my current one. One main feature I am looking for is the ability for my members to ignore other members chat if they wish to is this possible with this lite version? and can anyone explain that has this currently what the difference is between the lite version and their paid version? I thank you in advance with any help you might be able to provide.

thanks

I am also looking to see if anyone is able to do this.

Could someone who has this installed try to create a chatbox widget?

The example website does show the chatbox on the sidebar.

[DarkArmada]

I've tried search but it's hard as "pm" is too short.

I've disabled all notifications etc but when PM'ing members, the pm still shows in the main chat AND in the PM tab.

2:56pm  	 To <SuperFonzy> 	 LIke this 
2:56pm  	 From <SuperFonzy> 	  features?
2:56pm  	 To <SuperFonzy> 	 huh?

The above still shows in the main chat window as well as the PM tab with that member. Is there a way to stop it showing in the main chat altogether?
