Ah neat mod but I really hate the thing at the footer...screws up the style...

Where can I go to remove this?

I have installed this but do not see an option for sound. Is it in this mod and I am just missing it somehow?

Hi,
I Tried to change the backgroud color by adding
#vsacb_messagearea{
background-color: lightgray;}

but it looks like it set locally in the element itself.
looked for the element with no luck..

anyone?

other than that, it's a sweet plugin, thanks!

I have the same issue so had to uninstall.

Multiple Attributes - I worked around this by doing the following:

Since my SPAN statement looks like so:
<span style="color: #F1A010; font-weight: bold;">
and not <span style="color: #F1A010;">

I went and had a look at the plugin code as follows:

admincp -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> VSA New Reply
&
admincp -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> VSA New Thread

The coder uses preg_match - whilst I know nothing really about coding as such, I applied a bit of logic and expanded his preg_match a little to match how I multi-attribute my Usergroups.

So it looks like this BEFORE:
preg_match("#<span[^style|>]?style=['|\"]?[^color:]color:[\s+]?(.*?)[;]?['|\"]?['|\"]?>#",$usernameopen,$newcolor);

More or less I needed modify the match as stated below
<span style="color: #F1A010;"> [change it to]--> <span style="color: #F1A010; font-weight: bold;">

To do so would add this code somewhere (well after the color style ; semi-colon to be exact):
?[^font-weight:]font-weight:[\s+]?[^bold]bold[;]


My Final Code:

preg_match("#<span[^style|>]?style=['|\"]?[^color:]color:[\s+]?(.*?)[;]?[^font-weight:]font-weight:[\s+]?[^bold]bold[;]?['|\"]?['|\"]?>#",$usernameopen,$newcolor);


So to be clear, here's the before and after:

BEFORE
preg_match("#<span[^style|>]?style=['|\"]?[^color:]color:[\s+]?(.*?)[;]?['|\"]?['|\"]?>#",$usernameopen,$newcolor);

AFTER
preg_match("#<span[^style|>]?style=['|\"]?[^color:]color:[\s+]?(.*?)[;]?[^font-weight:]font-weight:[\s+]?[^bold]bold[;]?['|\"]?['|\"]?>#",$usernameopen,$newcolor);
