Thanks VBDev! I do have one more question. When I entered my email within the chatbox, the chatbox displayed:
[emaiI]xxxx@gmail.com[/emaiI] (replaced L with I).
For some reason it also shows the email tags around the email through the chatbox, while allowing link & BBTag is enabled. Is this a bug, or can do I have to enable something else?
How many chats are you displaying in the chatbox ?
I am planning on develop something to avoid full refresh of a chatbox each time and thus diminish the load.
There is not that many users, the refresh rate is 30 seconds, and there's only 5 chats at a time being displayed.
The chatbox is on my arcade pages, so there is likely to be a large number of page loads. Why would mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php be transfered on every page load? Shouldn't it be cached by the users browser?
Typical if you have more then one usergroup assigned to you. Make sure the group(s) you are in have rights to it. It's a permission setting most likely.

Chats gets retrieved upon page load but for 5 shouts in the arcade, it seems a lot for just that.

I think it would be nice, yes . Maybe an option also to copy/pasting the email when you select the email. I do have another suggestion for the next release though. Is it possible you can add a function to search for chats of a specific person or specific words? And also a "search" function to show all the latest posts of when you last visited.
