The update checks for pages that have the "id" of the switch mode button on and disables the chatbox. It was the best i can do until i redesign the template for GCBOS. Its fixed for me so in theory it will work elsewhere.

Well that may be another problem when GCBOS is used as a shout box widget on the main CMS page, which is where it is working but also killing my Switch Editor button. My GCBOS is also located on my Forum main so if I install this update it will work in neither place?


What I find off if you look at my site is that I have the GCBOS shout box on the main CSS where it is apparently killing my SEM button. I also have the chat on my Forum where it has not effected my SEM button.

Have a look at my site and you will wee what I mean.

In theory the new update should fix it, since when it detects the SEM it disables the chat. I will take a look at your site though and see what i can think off.

How can i make this chat box thinner ?

So its half the width it is already

cheers

[kfrosty]

2 questions.

Tried reading through as many of the 65 pages as I could but giving up.

Can you config this so different users text shows up as different colors?

Also, how can you clear the text in the chat box. Say a conversation is over and you want to remove everything?

[swiftor]

Hi GCBOS won't let me remove it.. I get the following error:

Can't DROP 'gcbos_color'; check that column/key exists
Error Number : 1091
