Is there a way I can get the older version of this? Before it had the log in / out area. The colors redisign, and the other useless stuff?

Its causing a lot of lag and slowness now compared to before, and my members now hate it.

Hey, I am having a problem on where the time color is the same as the background. (Made my own style) and I want to know how to fix. Maybe change the time color?

Most all the updates have fixed bugs, so I doubt you'll have much success with an older version even if someone sends you one.

Since you haven't asked for help or given any details, there's not much I can suggest. It may simply be that you're allowing too many people to sit in the box for too long and that's putting too much strain on your server. Try lowering the idle timeout.

Well I can list the problems, and my site has less than 100 users. So its not a lot of people on the chatbox. 30 messages in the past 24 hours... unless thats to much for this mod? lol

• * The chatbox now has a scroll bar in the text area, you can scroll left and right 1 pixle.
• * After selectin a color, most users can not click the typing area, and have to refresh
• * After sending a message, it takes up to 2 minutes before its shown in the box
• * Sometime messages wont show
• Can't remove the "font size" drop down. Even with no size listed
• Can't remove the searcg box
• * Sometime the chatbox wont load, stays blank and can't post anything

* All these issues started when I did the update. I had no problems before.

Skreech94, it's 'Shade' color.

EcoCav, Revert product templates. You are using old templates with your edits, while latest versions are needed to have product working properly.

That sure sounds like either an overloaded server or interference from another mod. Have you been monitoring cpu and have you tried disabling all your other mods? I mean, I'm having none of those issues, and it looks like most aren't, so you need to do some troubleshooting.

Oh, and by all means revert your templates too.

I disabled all mods 'cept for this one. Same problem. I check everything before posting here. Thanks Valter, that seems to have fixed the loading issues.

How can I remove the log in/log out, the horizontal scroll bar, the font size, and the search messages? These are useless to me on my forum, and just get in the way and look tacky. I keep the chatbox open on my phone (as do many members) and we get logged out all the time. Its pretty annoying. I didn't see anything in the settings to disable or remove these options.
