Still have one problem with the chatbox, only ones able to delete all messages at once are admins, super mods and moderators do not have that option even though it is set for admins, super mods, and moderators in the admincp. The only way they can clear the shouts is to select each one and then delete them.

It appears that IE7 just shows the "Loading..." message. Works fine in FireFox, IE6 and Safari.

Installed this and it is working as advertised, installed very easy on my 3.6.8 version of VB (Clicked Installed BTW).

It works very well! Nice Job!

Question: Is there way to change the color of the text when I click the "edit" button to edit a message? I would like the text to be black or red possibly because currenty its very difficult to read the text becuse of background color for style......

How can I change the color of the text after clicking on "edit" to edit the message?

Also: When you click the "Full Chatbox" button, how do you go back to the regular sized chat window page?

Thanks in advance!

Great mod. Thanks. Some users on my board are reporting an issue with the archive pages. They get an error of Internet explorer cannot open the Internet site http://forums.site.com/misc.php?=ccarc. Operation aborted. It works fine on firefox. Has anyone had this issue and found a work around?

Edit the template cyb_chatbox_archive_bit, it's right there on the second line.

I have the same issue, and would love to hear any solutions that there may be.

Now, I have an issue,

I put the table frame from my skin on the ChatBox, ChatBox Full, and Archive. It looks good, and works great. With one exception.

The ChatBox will not work on the 'forumdisplay' pages. No other pages are effected.

It shows and everything, you just can't post from that page. Any thoughts?
