Yes i had this at zero and all the shouts and history were deleted, ive deleted this now and box is empty, is this correct (seems to be ok so far)all shouts still there.

Then I'll have to modify it a bit, this shouldn't have removed all shouts when set to 0.

If anyone wants to see it, I will activate it for guests...just let me know.

If you look at firefox error console, does it shows an error ?

That is all it posts to the box.

Also, just to make sure that I hadn't done anything wrong on the install, I did a full uninstall and reinstall of the product and all related files.

It also never stops spinning the refresh icon and IE throws a javascript error

Line: 746
Char: 3
Error: '0' is null or not an object
Code: 0


If you want or need access to my server, just let me know...

hello,


can we still recover the automatically removed chats from the archives?...is there any way?...thanks...

Once it's removed, it purges from the db. I'm almost positive, so you can't recover something that isn't there anymore.
