I'm really diggin' the chat usage from my users however, besides the ability to force a sound on the other end - a more useful oddity unrelated to the actual function of a chat would be a smilie chooser for those of us idiots that have in excess of 500 smilies...
Could the Showsmiles function potentially display categorically like the smilies manager... (Number per page per selected group) or something?
I would never make the mistake of installing this again. I am stuck with it installed, even though i am not using it, as i uninstall the product, delete the files and STILL i can't edit my usergroups. I had to reinstall it all again to be able to edit my usergroups.

Hi there. That's such a shame as it's been a decent mod. I've had tons of luck going into the Admin area, locating Plug-ins & Products and selecting Plug In Manager. Once there, I set everything (really, everything) to inactive and begin turning on one element at a time leaving my suspect program until last. (It helps to have another window open to refresh and attempt minor usergroup changes with)
Eventually, you'll locate the exact hook and I think you'll be good to go after you get it to that point.
I'm guessin' you're referring to the Smilie Categorization question?
Just installed the Smiley Category Hack for the primary display within the message editor and it performs perfectly however, I'm not so sure it would be a simple feat to accomplish the same task with the chat popup..
Well, "simple" being a term apparently relative only to my experience...
And it's up to VBdev as for the smilies. It should be an addon, not a base feature.
No doubt. It's nothing to do with the actual chat function but they're having a good time with it.. and the smilies make it a tad funny to watch too.. Thx
