Nevermind I just uninstalled it and installed something else

[RedDevil]

Can I add something to the wish List, on some chat boxes you can specify individual members not allowed to view chatbox No in settings

[ibeteck]

Is there a way to adjust the refresh interval?

I have another problem with chat notifications.

When you click " Answered in thread : Shoutbox Updated "

in the chatbox, its senting me to a completely different post, usually get message

"No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

so I have had to turn this off until its fixed.

The above setting will indicate if mod_security is preventing some AJAX requests from being submitted to vBulletin. If this shows Yes then you either need to disable mod_security or change the AJAX settings with the vBulletin Options and disable Problematic features.

I can still try to disable mod_security... Stay tuned...

If, NO and NO, then everything look OK..... I have that problem, and after fix my chat working OK.

Thanks again for great hack!

@VBDev
And what's about this bug? I still have this problem (chat ver. 2.2.1) I know it's not critical, but does you see it at all?

Thanks
