hi there, bit of an issue.

I have both alt.1 and alt.2 set as the same colour: white. I dont require alternating colours on my forums, it looks messy.

I love that hack however with both alt1 and 2 set to white i can't see where the chat window starts and where it ends as everything is white, so it's hard to type into.

Is there anywhere i can set the background coliur to the text entry area independently, or any way i can get at the code to maybe give it a border or something so that it actually looks liek people can type into it?

Cheers,

Hi, best mod on my site ever!
I have a problem though, when I set the Users with post count less than X can not view ChatBox - Set X to 50 new users and users with less than 50 post still have access to the chatbox, what can I do to fix this?
Thank you

I installed this (which was nice an easy) and it was exactly what I was looking for!

However, I had to remove it instantly because it seemed to affect my adminstrator settings.

I didn't have a lot of time to see everything that it changed, but I noticed that when I had the ChatBox installed, I was no longer able to Stick/Unstick posts when creating a new post or when editing old posts.

Any idea what happened here?

Feature Request: Provide an option to NOT show the "Refreshing Messages..." text.
I can confirm and 100% agreed, this annoying too much users...
