Hello

Can it be that you can insert in this chat no pictures [img] Bildurl [/ img] or url
I get no images displayed

It does not work for me bbcodes

[audzilla]

THanks for this mod! It seems to work perfectly - except for one thing.

I've got a usergroup with regular-user-level permissions, and I've set the color of their icons to yellow. This usergroup is set to not override display options.

There's an admin-level group with their icon color set to blue. This usergroup is set to override display options.

Anybody who's in both of them shows up in yellow, but still has all the privileges of the blue admin group. The lower level group is overriding the icon display for the higher level group, regardless of group-wide settings, and I need it the other way around.

Anybody have any advice?

Thanks!

I'm very interesting in AddonChat X:

http://www.addonchatx.com/

Is there a projected date for vBulletin 4 integration?

[dknelson]

I have the same question. I'm running VBulletin 4.2.3. Looking for a new chat solution now that 123Flashchat seems to be gone. I see that you asked this question the first of July though so I wonder if this is the right solution anyway.

[dknelson]

I did get a response to the message I sent them on their site. There is not a solution for integration at this time. I was told that they plan to do it but there is no timeframe right now.

What a waste of time..
