Ok, my bad, i have it working now. I also would like to know how to remove IP address from anyone but the admin, or just remove it all together would be better.

IP of the chat's author displayed in the menu on the left to users who can manage the chatbox
Thanks, Ranger. But I was looking for code that would allow my mods, to manage, it, but I don't want anyone to be able to view IP Addresses for privacy issues.
To manage the IP? I don't understand. You can't "manage" the ip. If you don't want anyone to see it, just goto usergroups and make sure manage chatbox is set to no. Anything other then that, and it's outside the functions of the chat.

I think what he means is that he wants to give his mods the ability to delete/edit all messages, but not view the IP addresses of the users.
The chatbox should just pull permissions from the usergroups menu in vbulletin instead of doing it independently.
I know that vBDev is on a well earned holiday but I was really hoping someone else could help me with my problem. I've uninstalled my shoutbox (removed all files and uninstalled product) but now I have installed it the new version and everything works fine except for the inactive mode. When it gets inactive after 10 minutes, you normally have to click on the green arrows to get the text back. However, when I click on the green arrows, I get to see the following:
Isn't really correct is it? Looks pretty darn ugly hehe. When I press F5, it gets back to normal. Does anyone know how to fix this?

OH. Manage but NOT see the IP's. If manage is on....so is IP.
I'm sure if VBdev could add that as a seperate tick box, bot not sure you would want to remove that from a manage function and isolate it. I wonder if that can be adjusted in the VB settings themself for the usergroups. I think it might be. But again, that starts falling outside the chat schema.
