Hello, great work on the new chatbox! I have 2 things I'd like to bring up. First, some people have reported being randomly booted for inactivity in approx 2 mins, when the setting is 8 mins. (firefox and IE) it's not a consistent though...
Also, I see a few questions about something similar, but not an answer- the times are off... It seems to be set to eastern time, no matter what we have our profiles set to.
Oh what you mean is adding a prompt in the text field that would disappear upon click on the input field to warn them that they shoud input text in that field ?
Exactly what i wish for
Yes the page reloads dfor few seconds before it get posted
Do you think you can give me a eta if or when you canmake the commands?

Really ? I had tested the inactivity and it was working. Could you ask your users to test a bit more to see if it's something that is repetitive or not ?
About time, look at the bug list this one is listed

Yes I can do the command, when, perhaps this weekend but not sure.
About the ajax, the fact that the page reload means that the quick reply is not ajax powered (thus disabled by the option the vb staff stated you).
So it seems that they are no clean solution to make accents works
Had you tried with other chatboxes, did you encountered the same problem ?
About the text in the input field, I add it to the todo list.
Another issue that's happening since the last version.. sometimes the messages appears out of order, an user shouts 5 or 6 times and when another user shouts after the first user, their messages appears like he posted BEFORE the first user. Even appearing with time and date correct, the messages are messed and out of order.
There is an error in the clientscript mgc folder. It's named mg_cb_evo_cmd when it should be mgc_cb_evo_cmd. It was driving me nuts this small issue, couldn't get the commands to work. Still, VBDev could you get this great mod working rigth in opera? That would be great. Thanks.

It's happening a lot lately.
Really, even with good times appearing ? :|

I have looked at files and it's indeed named mgc_cb_evo_cmd, where did you find it not well named ?
