Thanks you

Seems like you had an error in chatbox install. Would recommand you to uninstall and install it again.

Regarding bbcodes, have you uploaded the images directory to your style misc image directoy ?

i have not uploaded anything all i did was install everything

[DAMINK]

I am wanting to use image names in replacement of the current names or html markup.
I can do this forum wide using the replacement variable.
Only problem is the chatroom does not display them correctly.
Its able to show them in the online bit breifly until it refreshes then it just picks up the original name again and not the replacement variable like below.



Also when you look through the Archives of the chatroom the image names appear ok. It seems its only in the actual live chat area its not appearing?



I would really like to be able to have this work.

How can i change the color of the text input box on my vb3.8. Actually, it is white and i would change it to black.

nevermind, figured it out

Hi,

I am getting the security token issue. I did a lot of research, but I can't find any answers. Essentially, I changed my cookie domain to be /, and now I can't view any chat logs on Firefox, or send any messages. But IE works perfectly.

What could it be?

Thanks,

[tbworld]

A general thing you can try is to clear your browser's cache and cookies, if you have not done so already.

Yeah, that is not the issue. I tested this with three different computers.
