? Hard to understand you dude

If you don't have access to php.ini, have you tried asking your host ?

sorry my english is bad i am greek.

i can't have access php.ini and host does not allowed to make any changes from (host) server side.

[VBDev]

Have you asked your host to know if ionCube can be activated ?

Bitwise install is not necessarly on server side, it installs through a php script so even on shared host it could be installed.

Ok boss, installed in my test to see how it works and got small bugs here and there.

The sound button is not showing
Input type editor is cropping down after reload and writing not being colored in it....all white and can't see what we are writing
Main text field not displaying chats, only loading... but works after writing a text ( that i can't see because of the above)
Dojo not working at all and can't select any style ( could this be because of full modified skin...by me?)

Add a text whit error after installation was done but couldn't read ...too fast to see

As for the rest, it seem to work fine

Sorry for bringing bad feed back but we will surely find those minor bugs
I will go on your site and give some $$$ for your work bud

Cheers

None of the local loader links work, maybe you have to be a logged in as a member?

Any way I will have to wait and hope to see if Ipower will upgrade, unless you come up with a backwards compatable solution to older versions. For your info IPOWER's servers run Zend Optimizer version 3.2.0.

@VBDev

One last thing i noticed is that the menu options when you click the down arrow next to a user name do not work. like "remove chat" for example if you click it, it does nothing

"Through a loop"... Just trying to be a little funny.

My users love the chat box. It's probably the only mod on my site that the users can actually see and particpate with.

I will be sure to send another donation. keep up the great work.
