Hey I don't want to search through 410 pages so sorry if this has been asked before but I have a simple problem.
I set my "Number of days before automatic chats removal" to 30 and every day all the chats are removed from the chat box and archives and I don't want that! This just started to occur. I removed the script and totally reinstalled it from scratch and it still does it.
I want to keep my chats for a good month before they are removed...but I can't seem to find out how or why its removing them! Thanks!
you said that before sorry and there is 9 versions and I cant see any that just say BF so I dont know which one you mean.. I thought that meant NBF so Im using that but in the list I just dont know which one you are talking about please can you tell me the name of it so I know which to re-install so I may use it
sorry to bump but please can you tell me as I want to get this sorted

Aren't they just hidden ? I'll look into it as I think I did experienced that once.

It's not available here but on the website you see in my signature.
Porting is done,I now have to fix previous reported bug and add some features before going out to beta (next week).
I am not sure that I'll add all functionnalities in the upcoming version as I want to release it soon.

Hi Clement,
I hope that you'll fix problem with displaying chats when oldest are on top, and editor box on bottom.... And for everything else, we will wait next versions of chatbox I'm glad that you find your time to do this... Thanks!
I don't think so 0.o
If they are hidden how do I "unhide" them.
Well in the archives, you have a select dropdown to show chats from yesterday, 2 days, ...
I checked the cron and it seems ok.

Hi, i'm having a few poblems with this.
I uninstalled this due to wanting to upgrade to VB4, it looked like it uninstalled ok, but after upgrading to vb4 I looked in the group permissions and all the chatbox settings are still in there - so if I save anything in that area it bugs out and gives me a database error. So that it means I can't save any user permissions at all for anything on my site. How can I remove these?

Yeah the archives seems to work when I select past days; the chats will show. But anyway to keep the normal chat box full of past chats without them being removed everyday? Thanks for the help!
