4.1 - "Loading" for me too... If you type in the box, it does update the box and then displays the conversations. The problem is that once you refresh you're SOL.

I actually donated to this mod a while back. If it's still supported, I'd be more than happy to send another donation with hopes that a few of you might follow me. 1-2 5 $10 or more dollars might give the dev some incentive to support this great modification.

Le probl?me viendrait quand vous avez selectionner

Afficher l' heure dans la chatbox sur oui dans l' attente de la correction du bug selectionner non :up:

****************************************

Here is a small solution to this problem

The problem would come when you select

Display the time in the chatbox so on pending correction of the non-select bug :up:


Sorry for my english

I'm also on 4.1.0 now and getting loading all the time. I've turned off display time but still see no notifications or chats.

Guess we'll have to wait for an update.

Even a full re-install doesn't seem to work, mugh.

[VBDev]

Hey,

I know I have been kind of a ghost lately, life has been rude for me with the broke up with my gf and haven't yet finished cleaning the situation as we had an appartment for rent and the delay is 3 month...

In 3 weeks my life shall be cleaned and will be able to see to the future.

I'll then come back on the scene.
