Just upgraded to VB 4.1.9 and my chatbox keeps loading, and when I try to type I get "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing." as an error. Ive uninstalled, and reinstalled and still get the error. Not sure what to do now.
The security token was a CRSF (don't remember exactly) but it wasn't chat related. You CAN search through the posts and I know there was a way to fix it.... But it's on your end almost certain.

Ok Ranger, my problem with the chat is that in the sub-forums section or showthreads, the whole chatbox is set under the tools and newthread button, announcement.
is there a way to rearrange this? I'ved attached a pic for a better idea
Crap, that's a CSS styles issues. You'd have to go into the template itself and change things. And my patience with coding this week is at like -20. I guess you could compare the normal skin to the changed one and modify it.

Ahhh maybe 3.0.0 is resource intense? That's what I am running.
Guess I'll wait for 3.2
Not sure if 3.1.0 was a public release. But I never had process issues. Are you on a co-hosted box?

Thanks in advance
That boing sound (annoying, I know) you can change by making your own. You'd have to do a conversion to swf but at this point, there is no multiple sound options. THAT is to be in a future release.
we were talkin in chat the other day and since lots are now using smart phones ... it would be nice if the chat could work with the smart phones ...... and then figure it would be really funny to have a 'Moaning" sounds ....LOL imagine standing in the ck out line chatting ..LMAO

Yeah defo agree with this, i just came from a phpbb forum and my chat box on that worked fine on my android.
loll good to know for your temper bud!
Well, if you ever end up with a small idea on where to check for, let me know because i tried a few things and nothing changes the position in the sub forum sections.
Could probably be a conflict also with the hack for this reason tho?!?!
See if it's fine in the default template. If it's not, then something else is causing it because on mine the default it is........ But the custom one I had to edit...
Thank you, I rather use this one instead of VSa.
Because this one has more options.
...same on my page! It's a great mod! The only issue I have is the missing sound notification if a new post is done. Iturned this feature on in the AdminCP but is isn't working. Maybe someone has an idea where to change settings or whatever......
The second thing is - does anybody has an actual German language file?

Thanks for your support!
German Language isn't translated yet. Any volunteers PM me...
As for the sound, make sure you uploaded it and it's in the right theme folder.
