Richieboy67: That uber sucks. That's why I never allow more then 20 groups EVER on any site I run.
The avatars in the chatbox works great! But for some reason when I private message someone, I suddenly see "avatar" as text. here's an example:
See? The avatar works fine, but when I PM him the avatar URL changes for some reason.
His Avatar URL: xxxx.com/customavatars/avatar2004_3.gif
Has changed to: xxxx.com/customavatars/avatar2004_1.gif
When I PM'd him.
Well lets add this to the todo list, I will work on that next week during my holidays.

Does anyone know why this is or what I can do? I'm a newbie
Do you have a default vB skin ? Have you tried different positions ?

Pleae anyone take a look at this pic. i have put grey boxes around all the info in member postbit to tidy them up using the <div class="bppostbit"></div> tags
Problem is i cants find the code to do it for number of chats for this chatbox. Anyone have any idea where i can find this. All other apps i use eg itrader, experience create their own postbit template where i add the tags, but this mod doesn't
they get this error the when they INITIALLY type in a message and press "enter".. then the refresh icon just keeps on loading and then if u try to type in another message, it will say "Error : A chat is already being processed, please wait."
Error : A chat is already being processed, please wait.
Getting the same error on vB 4.0.5 brand new install, was there ever a fix?
Any help is appreciated, I get this error as admin.
