When an 'unknown error' occurs this mod sends you to smilies. Not much help, but at least you know an error is occurring.

NHForum · #**2743** 06-20-2013, 12:53 AM

Ok,
I have it installed. I can view it on my PC in IE & Chrome as well as several other users, and it appears to working fine. We are running VB 4.2.1. My Wife can not see the Chatbox on her PC. She is also an adminstrator of our forum with full permissions. Any ideas why she can not view the chat box eithier in Chrome or IE?

Edit: I logged in under my user on her PC and the Chatbox is there???

Also I have two Chatboxe bars showing up instead of one. Both give a token missing error when expanded in in regular view, but show previous posts fine.

Edit2: Second strange phenomina, The chatbox only seems to work when either of the two chat bars is set to full view.

Anyone have help with this? I only searched posts since 4.2.1 came out.

Plus we seem to be getting 2 showing on the forum? only one works mind...

Try adding to your additional.css - found this at this link.

Code:

#vsacb_messagearea{background-color:#fff2d9;}

This is for the bg color only. I don't know why you're getting two chatboxes.

This does affect all post editors for me, so if possible, i'd like to find another way to adjust the background color of 'only' the chatbox. I tried the solution that involves editing the additional.css template, but it does not work for styles that are created in the admincp. Any thoughts on why that is?

screenshot is being attached,any suggestion plz?.

My site's having a similar problem after we moved our forum files to different directory in the FTP server. It seems to have several causes, based on what I've read but as to the fix I'm stumped as well.

Kirk93 · #**2746** 06-26-2013, 03:54 PM

How exactly do you get it to show in one forum only?

I've selected the option and removed "FORUMHOME" from the template option, and I've changed "index" to "forumdisplay.php?xxxxxx", and whilst it does display on there it comes up with an error;

A couple of my users have been having the issue with Chrome not scrolling properly. It only seems to be an issue with the input box and new messages at the bottom. If I put the input box and new messages at the top, it seems to fix the issue.

They are using Chrome Version 27.0.1453.xxx

iraqiboy90 · #**2748** 07-05-2013, 07:36 AM

not sure if this has been mentioned before but;
I have cloudflare configured, and I edited the class_core.php file to make the vbulletin see the real IP. Everything is reporting the real IP, except the chatbox.
Is it ignoring the class_core.php instructions or something?

ps, I'm on shared hosting

justicechick · #**2749** 07-10-2013, 02:21 AM

I'm not sure if the problem is with this mod or if its with the New post on high score mod but when an arcade game highscore is posted in the chatbox for some reason it shows that the post came from another member and not the admin. Ive looked and found no place that that would be changed in the admin panel.

Hi. I have the same question. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

XeGlive · #**2751** 07-14-2013, 06:39 AM

I've tried changing the background colour of the chatbox, in Style Manager > "Your Style" > StyleVars > blockrow_background, but no matter which colour I choose, it's still white. Anyone able to help?
