hmmm im admin on mine and i see it ok dont know about anyone else lol im the only one thats chatting on mine just now lol

[Skyrider]

nevermind, works all now, thanks!

You might wish to edit this though:

- Go in the Plugin manager of your admincp
- Edit the "Chatbox display on forumhome" plugin
- Replace : $search_text = '$forumhome_markread_script';
- By : $search_text = '$chatbox_forumhome';
- Then, go into the Style manager and edit the FORUMHOME template
- Put the $chatbox_forumhome var before the $footer var

The "search_text" is no longer valid as it's no longer in the php code.

Currently, it's now:

$find = '$forumhome_markread_script';
$brb = '';
$bra = '<br />';

Also, when I select the who's online button, I see a huge box and showing 0 online:

Users in the chatbox : 0 user(s)

That was perhaps a problem of cache from a previous vBulletin version.

Have you correctly set the permissions of your chatbox (usergroup ones) ?

I don't see why your admins wouldn't see while your members does.

Please post a screenshot of your usergroup settings for admin.
Check that you don't have edited chatbox templates (if not revert them).
Check that in your usercp you don't have set the hide chatbox option to yes.

[VBDev]

Now that the new version of the chatbox is out I was wondering if all of you would you be interested in the creation of a forum for the chatbox ? An external one.

[Skyrider]

VBDev, please check out my post above. I've edited it.

Look the bug list I saw that just before the release so haven't corrected it

Seems ok to me. Do your admin users are only admin or do they belong to other usergroups ?
Have you tried setting the same permissions as your other usergroups ?
