Can anyone help me understand why something like this doesn't have the ability to be coded for a forum sidebar block?

I don't think there's any reason why it couldn't. Valter just either doesn't have the time or inclination to do so.

LuDawgs · #**2045** 12-21-2011, 05:28 PM

I don't know about that. Seems like if it were simple to do, it would be a feature that these types of chat solutions offered as an option in Admincp.

DAMINK · #**2046** 12-24-2011, 12:58 AM

Would it be possible to ad the option to sort by most used word?
For no reason apart from humor.
My site has well over 100k shouts and the more stats i can pull the better.

Has anyone else had an issue with their forum being hacked while using this mod? My forum has been hacked and defaced twice in two weeks and the hackers claimed the chatbox was how they got in. I've since deleted it and have had no further issues, but I miss having a chatbox. Just wondering if there was a known security issue.

Thanks in advance for your help!

oh sweet jesus..

i guess i better disable mine then until there's a fix for it. >_<. I hate it, this is like the second plugin that's been having hacking issues.. It sux though, because I like this chat and the advanced forum rules plugins / mods...

Videx · #**2049** 12-27-2011, 10:49 AM

Yours is the first report of a possible problem. Are you sure you were running the latest version?

Odd the hackers would be so nice as to tell you how they were getting in so you could lock them out. That's not normal.

I kept seeing "guests" in my chat when they had no perms to get there. I checked it and they got smilies. But I was getting a lot of db errors on 4.1.9 and saw your post, so I uninstalled and installed the MGC Chatbox Evo and it's working.

I'd rather not take a chance with hackers. Too scary for me.

Alecsmith · #**2051** 12-27-2011, 04:44 PM

@FreakyG'sMom - I have been using over 2 years no problem found till now no hacking off course. Check How to Secure my Forum

I don't think any hacker will tell u easily how did he hacked
