Ain't a bug man, when minimized the chatbox show last X chats (X being a parameter).

Can this become part of the next release so I can be lazy?

The problem is that if I put this, on other pages of the site or on different installation this could lead to a margin uneeded when chatbox is on top of a page.

Vb4 question: How do you turn it off in CMS as in Home ?

[dankreiner]

Looks like you uploaded the files in the wrong directory.

Go over the readme file again, and read carefully which file to put where.

[dankreiner]

so how do we put in this in cms in 4.0.x
