Is it also possible to limit the size of the archive - i.e. autoprune?

Auto-prune (by message date) feature already exist.
Auto-prune by max number of messages can be added, if it's what you are asking for?

Is that "Messages in last X hours - Set X"?

I would like to check your forum to see what causes this. Or someone else's forum who has this problem. Temp admin account should help. I'm really not sure what can be problem as hack uses standard vB functions to build date/time.

1. This may be added in future versions.
2. You can change it to anything you want by editing "cybcb_chatbox" phrase.

You can limit number of displayed smilies in hack options.

This is strange. Ask someone who reported problem to logout/clear forum cookies, then re-login and see if problem is gone.

No, it's "Auto prune messages older than X hours - Set X (Blank to disable)".

Sorry, in that case the option has disappeared from this latest version - it's not there!

Cipri, you're not the only one, I am seeing the logout issue as well on my board. Switched browsers, same thing. Some users are having the issue, some are not. I am perplexed as to even where to start to look to resolve this issue. Variety of browsers and ISPs are involved, so it appears quite random.

[packetattack]

Hmm, I just saw the update, I will try that now and report back on my getting logged out findings.

[packetattack]

Cyb, looks like the update you released has fixed the login/logout issues on my forums. Thanks!

Found another problem when i installed this hack on my site it works flawless for me and other admins but some members seem to have issue's with being kicked out of the site when they shout ,

Im not sure if all members have this issue or not and i dont really understand how that could affect them ,But there issue is being kicked out of the site and haveing to log back in after a shout,

As i said works perfect for all admins, and i checked the members that were haveing this problem they are not banned in shout and i also made the usergroup not able to view option blank,

[packetattack]

Renk, are you running the update that was released today?

blocking guest from seeing the chatbox. I have tried a number of ways to block guests from viewing the chatbox and I can't. Anything I should be trying?
