This is why it says to do a backup BEFORE you do anything. In case the person installing ANY plugin messes something up or doesn't follow directions they can revert.

The solution is simple. Edit your config file and disable plugins. Something else you did is causing that error.

You have to activate commands autocomplete, this is an option.

I recommand deactivating the chatbox for the mobile style, it's not meant for it.
Use the disable in certain styles option in display options.

You have to activate the url bbcode and autoparse option in the format options in the admincp.

Just one :erm:

--Edit---
Nevermind, I hardcoded left padding and it shows as expected now..
Thanks!

ordered the paid version. Spent the day getting my host to install ioncube. Now waiting on a license file?

[VBDev]

SgtSling, this thread is not made for discussing paid version stuff.
The website is there for that purpose.

I have this installed, and it works fine. Apart from having tabs in the shoutbox once someone sends a PM? When this is attempted, it stays in the same channel as the rest of the shouts and doesn't open in a new tab. I have no idea what is wrong, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
