I know, the option is just here to hide it from the select.

It was a bit complicated to check also size as I don't modify the way bbcode are handled in vBulletin so I can't really change that you know.

But I must say that if automatic posts removal is active, stickied posts would be removed as command are independant from that task.

As stated, I don't want to use the module. I was primarily using it as a test to see if it worked comparatively with the page variable option. I am frustrated now, as I attempted to revert to the previous version and it also now displays the perpetual "Loading ..." message. I can offer a $20 donation if you can get this working for me as a page variable on the vBa page, otherwise I will likely be forced to abandon this mod in favor of another. I don't want to do this, of course, as this mod offers the best features.

Do you have any idea how I would be able to create this through the use of the command system?

I have changed the width of the header so that it matches up with the width of the center part so it looks okay. However, prior to installing the chat box, our center area had a width of 800, its now up to 1000. We would like it back to 800 if possible!!

I am not sure that with the actual system it could be possible to make it, I think I have to add the possibility, in the chats retrieval command code, to add sql order by conditions to the query.

So you'll have to wait till a new release

This has already been reported I am trying to figure out what's the bug as this one is really vicious.

The only thing i see is the input field width, that's all that could make it behave like it does on your forum.
