I have a request! If it could pull whenever a shoutcast server song changes that would be awesome Currently using the plugin Shoutcast Status which writes to an xml file that should be readable
Well, the mod you pointed out gets lots of infos, not only the song played. And it gets updated as soon as one of those parameters gets updated not when the song changes.

Well by default I prefer having most of the bbcode not active otherwise it would be a pain to add each unwanted ones.

The chatbox uses vB's censoring one.

Can you try to make it a bit easier to understand ?

Right, however instead of pulling directly from the file you could just pull the variable from that mod for the song name? He has all the variables used listed out there
Or perhaps how easy would it be for him to modify his mod to make the entry to your mod? Just trying to figure out the easiest way

Installed this, but it seems to sporadically stop working in IE. It's fine in Firefox. Even if I don't upload any further plugins or change any other files at all, after a day or so it causes "object expected" errors in IE7 and the chatbox just hangs.
Strangely enough, when this happens it displays some messages from 20 mins ago, but not the more recent messages.
I've managed to fix this twice before by reuploading all the files, which is even stranger (not even reinstalling the product).
It's still working fine in Firefox for me, but this time I've been unable to fix the IE issue by reuploading the files. I'm now looking at possibly installing the VSA Chatbox, not sure how that compares to this.
FYI I am using vbSEO. I tried adding the vbSEO custom arguments provided here but that didn't help at all. I guess those are only if you want vbSEO to optimise the chat pages anyway, which I'm not too bothered about.
Humm, can you do a search on js files in clientscript ? For the vbulletin_version keyword.
I know this was probably out of sight and out of mind for you, but I thought I'd let you know that I used this error as an excuse to just finally upgrade my board to 4.0...
