Do you have modified chatbox templates ?

How can I fidn out if they are modified? I didn't modify them by myself.

Take a look at the screenshots. The only modified template seems to be the one for the vBCMS portal site.

Could you guys tell me which options you have changed for the chatbox display ?

Especially for the editor, shouts position and shouts display (a screenshot of all your options could help me find the option which is making this bugging).

I just took a look at the templates and there are no template modifications any more.

Hope, you can find the error.

Just saw your knows bugs list:

Quote:
[Medium] Under IE, some users are reporting shouts to be displayed one after another without linebreak. Cause currently under search.
Firefox causes this error, with IE our users can't see NO post in the shoutbox. They have to click on "Archives" to see the posts.
