I installed mine, everything works fine, except for the images don't show up for the chat box. Can someone please tell me the correct directory path to upload the images to? Thank you.
can one limit users access by making them make say 2 posts before accessing the shoutbox?
You can setup a "probationary" usergroup, and an auto promotion after x amount of posts made, and then just limit which usergroup can see the chat box.

i was hoping that i could just put in a number somewhere so users make a post/posts to see the chatbox everytime they come on within 24 hours.
The usergroup method you stated above, would that only apply the first time for posts then after that they wouldnt have to do it anymore?
Its just users are not posting much anymore and just chatting in the box, id like more posts to be made instead of my forum just being a chatroom.

Yes. I have a new members usergroup set up to where they cant see the chat box until the post 5 times. At which point they are automatically "promoted" to a full members usergroup, with chat box permissions.
*shrugs*.. Installed latest version on my local PC, works just fine! (Same database & files as the real forums) and if I upgrade it on the real forums, it keeps "loading ..." again.
