For images, surround link with IMG tags.

When you are not active in the ChatBox you are logged out from it to save server resources. There is a note about this in status field.

To login/logut from the ChatBox click on online status icon in ChatBox.
To change inactivity logout settings for ChatBox go to product options.

ohadpartuck · #**2403** 06-03-2012, 10:05 AM

is there a special btn to automatiically add those tags? (for my lazy users..)

Termure · #**2404** 06-03-2012, 12:36 PM

any answers to my question ?

Valter · #**2405** 06-03-2012, 12:48 PM

Termure, edit stylevar editor_background.backgroundColor.
Change bg color to something brighter as you have dark forum style.

ohadpartuck, no as ChatBox is not image gallery. It may be frustrating to scroll message area to view the whole picture. It's only 100px in height and is used to post short messages. They can always add a link to the image or type tags manually if they really need to have their pictures displayed in the CB.

Style Variables > Forms > input_background
