Quick question...With the channels I have the option to notify if there is a new message (not with audio) but the icons don't seen to change? I thought they were supposed to blink or something...or I thought they used to? Or am I crazy?
I would have posted over at forumcoding but it seems to be down
Well to have blinking icons, you have to have created blinking icons (means : animated gif).
And you have to activate the option.

Send me admin access to your forum so that I have a look.

works top mod
Well part was in english and part in french unless I forgot to put both
RSS feeds by the system are not displayed in the chat area, normal posts are, not sure if this is a bug, it may have been mentioned before too much info to read through.
Is it possible to have RSS feeds shown in the announce tried it in its own colums and not working.
Well RSS feeds are not working in the same way as posts or thread. Chatbox is not intended to be posting RSS feeds notifications.
Anyway I can add it to the todo list and see what I can do in a next version.

For me, I had to deactivate my notifications about new threads/posts because all I get now is databases errors in both cases!
These are the errors I get when I reply to a messages or create a new post:

Finally, when using quick reply, it shows a message like I'm making a duplicate message! (and no, it was not a duplicated messages that I was doing) What's that? (See picture)
vbdev: Could you have a look at my forum please?
Fixed in the new updated version (import product only).

So basically the script just update all chats to put the info
Resolved the issue, was a little bit confusing though. Why not make this auto run as part of the 2.3.0 product file?
Well because if I put that autorun which needs to be outside product (due to the need of spliting the steps to avoid timeout) I would have ran it at the end of the 2.3.1 install code.
But if I do so, install code will cause problem with next releases.
If you are experiencing loading issues then it must be because you haven't upgraded correctly.
Are you sure you did follow the steps correctly ?

Have you got non reverted chatbox templates ??
I asked you a question about usergroups but you didn't answer! Is it usergroup colors or usergroup chats color !! ?
