I really want to use this mod. I didn't have any install problems or anything, its just that sometimes it just sits there on "loading", especially if you navigate "back" to the FORUMHOME page from some other page. The little "circle of dots" just runs in an infinite loop. A page refresh usually clears up the problem, but why is it happening? Another way to replicate this error is to go up to the address bar, highlight the link and hit enter, or to click on the "Forums" Link in the navbar.
Another quirk... Why does the chatbox "jump up" on the page when it actually does finish loading? -> Related ... If you click the refresher in the chatbox, the loading goes away and the chatbox shows chats like normal, but the chatbox doesn't "jump up". This is why i think it might be a bug.
I tried the latest version, and then the versions before it. Same issue. My hosting is HostGator Business Class. I wouldn't think that would be the issue.
BTW: I wanted to point out that I HAVE HAD NO OTHER ERRORS. The product works fine 75% of the time, but that other 25% (at least once per session) I get this problem with the loading...
1 : Well if you had scroll to remove a shout then it's normal the chatbox stop scrolling automatically. Is it what you did ?
my latest posts are at the bottom. After deleting f.e. the latest post at the bottom, the chatbox stays at the top of the chatbox and doesn't scroll to the bottom any more...

2 : You were having the chatbox totally scrolled at the bottom and then posting an image stopped it from scrolling ?
It doesn't really stop scrolling. But it doesn't scroll completely to the bottom, so that you can only see a part of the image that you have posted. If you want to see the image completely, you have to scroll a little bit manually...

Well, for the image I think it's because the image is not totally loaded when added into the chatbox and thus the chatbox scroll but to the current displayed height of the image. See what I mean ? So the chatbox is not able to scroll totally.
Unfortunately, it seems impossible to me to overpass this issue.
For the delete issue, I think I know why, I am adding this to the bug list.
