Ok and error is ony showing on index.php ? not other pages ?

What have you exactly disabled ? only the chatbox through option or the whole product ?

If not the whole product please try to.

Problem with invisibility, I am always invisible on my board but, in the chatbox I can be seen, is there a way to fix this so I can post a comment in the chatbox and not appear online if I don't make another comment for 1/2 hour while doing other stuff on the board?

Thanks

[adnedarn]

VBDev- will do, thanks.

Queball- already on the Version 0.0.0 reported bugs list above look at the top of any page in this topic ans scroll down toward the bottom to see the current bugs list.

I don't get you, what do you mean ? Do you mean it's long to install ?

This is due to the new command system, this system would allow anyone with some php knowledge to develop their own command so that's in a way pretty cool IMO.

I can not find an option to move the who's online in chatbox to another tab, like channels.
Is there one? If not then it's a bit sad because the display of who's online within the chatbox at all times increases load, and takes spaces on every page, while if its setup inside a tab etc, it would be imo better

There is no option for such behavior.

I could add a button to do so like it was on previous chatbox version but this require a bit of work so this won't be in the next release which I want to release quickly.
