Well, I do have custom templates. But it doesn't show on the default.
I tried editing the plugin but couldn't find the code that's listed in the readme.

Hey VBdev, I checked her forum out. Everything is set right. Did a full uninstall, reinstall.... Only place it doesn't work is on the forum home. It's not even injecting code into index.php. Any thoughts?
Another good news today ! I have improved the chatbox performances as suggested by a user a long time ago.
Only needed chats will now be retrieved upon refresh. Currently, all chats were retrieved at each refresh thus slowing down the refresh when lots of chats are displayed in the chatbox.
This should drastically increase the speed of the chatbox.
I still have to manage edited chat and solve a javascript blocking issue but that should be good
I think I'll release a new version of the chatbox next week.
second im runing the chat but also im runing the Left side column on forum home only and ill like to make the chat dimensions as the forums so it wont put my Left side column under the chat.
Is it possible to let the chat load in collapsed mode?
Does the chat run in inactive mode, when collapsed?
Please consider to add vbExperience integration.
