- Announcement in the chatbox

I think this is easy to add and useful options

Also,
- New thread and new post warning in the chatbox (in separate column OR inside other chats)
- Adding chatbox channels

would be also very useful options?

THANKS M8!!!

Hello Valter... Did you want to conisder to put this in next versions of Chatbox?

About this - if I use one skin (black), and someone use different (white), we have a problem. First, I will write with lite text color (white) and another user with dark text color (black). Can you do this - when I write with STYLE DEFAULT color, that text show on default skin color (on dark skin, text will be white, and on white skin text will be black!). Just custom text colors are displayed in choosen color.... This will solve many problems. Also, you can separate default color - maybee put it on top of color pickups, maybe text "Default" beside....

Thanks m8!

(littel explain in serbo-croatian:
Mozda nisam bas najbolje objasnio pa u najkracim crtama oko boja

Problem je ako su skinovi potpuno razliciti (tamni i svetli) i ako se u Chatbox-u pise defalt bojom, najlogicnije je da se taj tekst i ispisuje defaul text bojom za taj skin, pa ne bi moglo da se desi da se poruka napisana na svetlom skinu ne vidi dobro na tamonom i obrnuto. Takodje, u color-selecoru ne bibilo lose da se ta default boja posebno odvoji u potpuno posebnom redu na vrhu - preko koje (ili pored koje) bi moglo da pise DEFAULT. Mnogi tu prvu boju i ne konstatuju i ne primecuju kao default boju izabranog skina. HVALA UNAPRED DRUZE!)

That was actually one of the first things I tried, Videx...modifying that widget to work with this chatbox. Didn't have any luck getting it to work myself, perhaps someone else can get it going.

Any compatibility issues with 4.0.3? I've been holding off upgrading my board to see if there were any problems to be aware of.

Works great!!!!

Is there any way to change the background color of the text area?

dbigras · #**995** 04-13-2010, 04:16 AM

For some reasons, ever since I installed VSA Chatbox, I see TONS of people on my site, but I think they are phantom connections because they are all in the Chatbox Archive and it affects my stats.

Can anyone help me out changing the ChatBox title? And I looked through the settings couldn't find anything for unregistered users maybe let unregistered users chat.

Videx · #**998** 04-13-2010, 11:14 PM

Change title: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=399

I dunno about guests posting. What would you use for names?

Hiding your chatbox from unregistered users should do the trick. it sounds like the search engines are crawling all over it.

Videx · #**1000** 04-14-2010, 01:56 AM

I dunno about that. Guests are allowed to see my chatbox, but right now not a single one of anybody is viewing the chatbox archive. I think it's some sort of odd server issue.

I've been digging in the code for a couple of days now and still can't find this myself. Anyone know?
