Hello,
first I want to thank you for this nice AddOn.

I changed the skin and all works nice, but I have a problem..

When I set in the setting "Logged-out by default" to NO, me and some other users are logged out by default and some other users aren't. When I set it to YES, me and some other users are logged in by default and some other users aren't. Can someone help me?

BTW: My Chatbox:

Just keep in mind that this changes all input boxes, not just the one in the chatbox.

Is there anyway not to change that? I mean just change the input text window and not the background input.

Or just tell me how I can deactivate/disable Login. I don't need this feature.

Love this add-on! Just installed it. Very happy.

Delinquenz · #**2488** 07-24-2012, 02:56 PM

The author does offer occasional support, but yours is more of a mod to a mod question so you may not want to hold your breath.

You may have better luck figuring out what's causing the original problem. That could be a technical issue on the server, but if different clients respond differently it could also be a client issue. Try a different browser, clear cache, check security apps, etc.

I'm on a shared server so I'm configured as a shoutbox, logging people out fairly quickly before they load us down.

But I even can't find the problem, why some users are logged in by default and some not when I activate/deactivate the setting "logged out by default". I need a solution. My forum is still small and I minimized all server load and optimized my vbulletin. I don' t think the chatbox will kill my server.

This chatbox is really better as the MCG one, because it takes so much server load (that's at least what I'm thinking) The only point I want to change is the login system. Else I like this minimized chatbox. But the chatbox login is for me useless. If my server load is too high, i will rent a new, better server - this is no problem. Would be awesome if anyone has a solution.. at least for my problem..

PS: Sorry for bad English, my English isn't really good.

€: My Coding skills aren't even "sooo bad" .. My Forum... I changed the template of the chatbox. And it doesn't even is just me, with the problem.. I think much users have this problem.

Just set it to some high value, like 1000 minutes?
