Is there any way to limit what usergroups can use the commands?

I see this also... infact, where ever you put it, it cuts that bar off.

Just tried installing to a vB4 Beta 4 installation and the shoutbox does not seem to be working. I followed the instructions exactly.

I have the box showing up on FORUMHOME but it just sits there blank and with no Notice or Loading text. Typing anything in doesn't do anything.

Please advise.

--Reduced the amount of AJAX requests made

Don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but the who's online location in 0.6.5 shows the chatbox as the current location when they are obviously not on that page.

Also, is there a way to make the Chatbox appear on a page other than the forum home, say... in the member's list or some other out of the way location? For our forum, the forumhome is not the best place for the Chatbox due to a page loading issue connected with how our server reacts to the script involved in this mod.

Is the file gcbos.js in the /clientscript/ folder? Make sure it's gcbos.js and not gcbos_DECOMPRESSED.js. If it is gcbos_DECOMPRESSED.js, rename it to gcbos.js.

Testing on Beta 4 now, been having internet issues sorry for the lack of updates.

Edit:
Works fully with vB4 no edits required (to current code). Install exactly the same way.
