I'll point out that YOU ARE BEING RUDE! Seriously. Get a grip on yourself. This is just a mod and they are just developers and they don't do this for you. And if you are talking about the paid version, then take it to his site. But stop being so rude to people who offer you a modification for free. They don't owe you a thing here.
Since you jump in without knowing facts, then apply an infraction to me, maybe you should know all the facts. I'm one of the beta testers for the developer of this mod. I also helped him with it. And he also hasn't replied on his forum. But thanks for thinking you know what's going on. Give yourself an infraction now. Have a great holiday.

Has anyone gotten a reply on the main forum? I haven't seen any activity at all including from AWcoder who claims he's taking it over...

I'm pretty sure that's in the advanced options. I can't tell you because I'm not running it atm. I could check one of my other forums later, but each channel has 3 icons. normal, dimmed and flashing. That's how you can tell if there's an update.

Hi, I just installed and everything seems ok. How do I activate to show up on my forum? I see the settings in admin area but don't know where to get it to show on the forum page.

thanks

Technically there is no premium version of this mod. Only a brand free version that is paid for. But either way a simple roadmap would be nice.

okay, so ive scanned through all 392 pages of this discussion and i still can't figure out why avatars are not showing up next to people's names in the chat room. only users with no avatar get the icon with a ? that shows. all other users with an uploaded avatar just show up blank or with a "submit query" text just before going blank.

im running 2.4.2, and vb 3.8.4 PL 1. ive reinstalled several times and did all the steps correctly, im sure of it. can anyone help?

"Submit query" means you didn't install it correctly. Are you sure you copied ALL the files and images over? If you have multiple themes, you have to upload the image dir to all those themes....

Can you provide a link for me?

I'm sorry I'm not down to search through over 300 pages to find an answer so hopefully someone is nice enough to provide it soon after my post ^^

I want to know how I can change the position of the chat box besides the 3 given options "Above Forums" "Below Forums" "Do not Display"

I would like to mess around and try to get it right above the "What's Going On" Section of my site.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
