I typically have about 200 users online at any given time

Na, mine isn't even close to that number............I am lucky to have 7 or 8 member's on at one time. Even luckier if i get more then a total of 50 users/lookers in one day.......

Is this working on 3.5.4?

yes

How does the inclusion of a board "instant mesage" service affect the activity of your board? Has their been a drop in activity due to the emergence of a separate venue of communication between members, or has activity actually risen?

mine has stayed about the same, but when a user is online and want's to talk or ask a question in private, then the pager system work's perfectly. If you want to send something to someone whom isn't online, then the private message works, because they will recieve the message when they log on......the shoutbox work's good for those that are chatter box's.....i think it is a great asset to our communities, and seem's to keep member's at our site's longer........

I ran into an error.

Installation went fine, but users, including myself, were unable to find a reply button on the instant message boxes. I've triple-checked the settings, including the usergroup permissions, and nothing.

Where do I mess up?

[Tulsa]

Under each user group

Can Use Allow Reply Option When Paging Another User

2nd to last option.

[Tyegurl]

okay my first problem is i don't hear a sound when paged...secondly some of my users don't get a message per say....its a page message but empty. any ideas?

3.5.4 and vbad latest version...

[cayote]

Checked and rechecked all my edits but it doesn't work.

I see this in upper right: Pager Messages: Unread 2, Total 12.
But no messages show up in inbox. Sent items DO show.
So...it's doing something but not actually sending the messages. Any ideas?

Thanks

[croportal]

hm...its now working with 3.5.3

[jazde86]

Whats up with the scrollbars in "Send Message"-Window? Where can I "put it throw away"?

Thanks for help.

[AMFMaree]

The only problem I have found is that on the forumhome page under where it says private mesages.. the link to the Pager is..when you click on that it just brings you back to the index. What could I have done wrong?

[dead7]

I've searched this thread, perhaps if I missed something regarding my question anyone could point me to the post#.

I've been tinkering trying to get the pager JS on forumhome in its own JS file... any ideas on how I can do this or what it may require to be done?

Thanks.

Make sure that the sound file is in the correct place, Turned On from ADMINCP/ vB Pager Options, and from your Options.

I'm not sure if I got you, but vB Pager does not use any JS file, everything comes from the templates!
