More Notification Features?

I am in dire need of the following 5 notification features to be implemented on our site. I added one to the list as well for a nonfiction when a member changes their status (using a 3rd party hack found here on vborg).

What kind of time-line are we looking at to have these new features added? How can I help to speed up the process?

• NOTIFICATION : social groups
• NOTIFICATION : User albums updates
• NOTIFICATION : IBProarcade New tournament created notification / Tournament has started notification
• NOTIFICATION : Blogs
• NOTIFICATION : Status Changed

Any other suggestions?

Uninstalled
It's a great mod, indeed but I can't keep my forum crashed anymore.
Maybe I'll install it back.

Good luck ppl with those bugs :s

I had a problem uninstalling it.
Though I removed from admin cpanel, the tables in BD stayed.
Before and after I unisntalled it, it caused problems creating new users groups.

So I had to remove the references to the chat from php documents.

[DemoniK_AK]

Uninstalled it
Something was acting up in the JS that I couldn't track down and refreshes would just stop.
That and my IE users had bad display problems...

Will check back every so often - hope you iron out the bugs.

When you uninstall this plugin, you MUST remove ALL chat files from your server (especially from INCLUDES/XML)!!!

Cheeers

[cory_booth]

On my site VB 4.1(bets) killed the chat. It opens but nothing shows.

Things working great over here, but there is a little issue in the Archives section; in the Navigation and Search windows, only two of my three available channels are being displayed in the drop-down menu. Yes, there are still three options but two of them are duplicates so my third channel is still missing from Navigation and Search; screenshot of the problem here

Also having problems with the ChatBox showing in one forum-style and not another; I'm thinking that this might have to do with the templates in one of my styles. If possible, could you show me the code for this hack and which template-names use this ChatBox code so I can manually input it? If it makes any difference, I want the ChatBox to appear at the top of the page (below my navigation-bar) and everywhere except the actual forum homepage

Thanks for any help
