You may edit messages by double clicking on them (If you have permission to do so), delete messages by clicking on the '#' in front of your messages, send a user a private message by single clicking their name, or speed up/slow down the speed messages are typed at by pressing the 'up' or 'down' arrow keys on your keyboard.

I like this suggestion and I'm sure my members would appreciate a built in editor. :up:

I put the chatbox on my home screen... now anyone who is on the main page shows up as using GCBOS instead of "viewing home forum" .... lol

[marecek]

is there a way to speed up process of loading posts? Right now it takes few seconds before page loads and the last shout pops... it can be quite annoying if you set longer shouts history

Works on 4.0. Is there anyway to change the box title from "GCBOS" to something like "Chat Box"

iso 8859-9 not supported

I have a problem.. In the Site Name / URL / Contact Details in the AdminCP, I've changed the Forum URL from http://xxxx.xxxx.com to xxxx.xxxx.com (without any http or https) so both http and https can be used.. How ever, this breaks the chat box completely with "Loading...." again. Even changing:

<script src="/clientscript/gcbos.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

to

<script src="http://xxxx.xxxx.com/clientscript/gcbos.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Doesn't work... Any idea's?

Are you receiving error messages? Does the box show? Do you have permissions set properly?

Wow really? You can't say how it doesn't work? That's like calling into help desk and just saying my computer doesn't work fix it.... Tech support cannot read minds.
