Works great i don't know what vbulletin team is doing . I like this chat version notification system only if developer could add this :
Profile message for user notification
Own thread notifications : who has posted
It would be great i know its a big ask but if developer could do this . as lots of vb3 guys waiting for such stuffs and don't want to move on vb 4 just because of its notification system or some editor stuffs ( simpler the better)
I hope VBDev doesn't get mad at me for this...haha.. But Send him a PM with your suggestion. FULLY DETAIL YOUR REQUEST AND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR! He hasn't been here in a few weeks so he might not see this. I have him on Google+ and his forum so I talk to him now and then...
The next version he's having a few issues with some code so it's slow progress...
Do we have anyone out there (coders) familiar with the auto complete in 4.1.x?
I'll keep ya guys posted and try to offer some more support.. Just can't for a few days. Just had dual knee surgery and my couch is looking more comfortable than my chair..
every time i try to install the chatbox i get the problem below.. i have the newest vb im pretty sure.

I can't get this to work, once installed the chat box just displays "Loading..." then when i type in the chat it doesn't appear, it seems to be stuck on loading all the time. I'm on VB 4.1.6. Any ideas?
What is, "Ne Pas Afficher"? I selected the English language!! This is my first mod to install on vB. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong. This text is located under Display position on the forum.

My users nor I (Admin user) can't change their font/color in the chatbox ? I can't find the setting to switch it on or off, and the only color in use is the default one set in the usergroup settings? Anything i'm missing ?
I've tried it with inputting the color or font directly using bbcode, and that works.
Is it only me or sound option is not working
That is in chatbox options there is option for user to turn on or off sound notification....this option is not working for me
just tested that, choosed no for sounds and sound is on
