It might be because you have notification addons installed.

You got to disable them too.

Let me know if this is on your radar to fix, otherwise I need to revert back to an older version

Thanks again! Great Mod

This is on my bug list but I won't look at it before next week.

I agree, it looks simple. The ID of the forum where I want the chatbox is 6, so I entered "6". No matter what I put in that field, the chatbox doesn't appear anywhere. Reading through posts, I'm starting to wonder if this might specific to the version of VB I'm running? (Presently I'm testing it on 4.1.8).

[VBDev]

Have you activated the option to show on forumdisplay, it's a mix of the two that makes things work
