remove commands if any... Double check
Remove the XML via plugins.... As in UNINSTALL
Remove files....

If it doesn't work, you mucked something up that has nothing to do with the chat.

Feature request; Tachy goes to Coventry support! (you know, that cool global ignore feature!) Or a similar "global ignore" feature for the chat.

You've still not fixed the issue regarding the page navigation in the archives.

I'm having this issue as well. I tried removing the PM command in the chatbox but it persisted. I disabled the chatbox and tried to PM someone, the PM pop-up appeared.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance.

Please once installed test that the chatbox display in forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread still works and doesn't fire any error. And also test the chatbox display on all pages.

If that fixes it I will release it officially.

Sorry! I was on vacation this past week.

I'll take a look at this over the coming week.
