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.

thanks it is ok but now GCBOS Loading...

[Quarantine]

I'm having the Loading... problem too. Already included the two hooks, gone through the installation instruction multiple times.

This quick fix doesn't solve it too:

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

I'm using vB4 Gold and 0.6.9 version of this plugin, if it helps.

[icemann]

This shows up in IE8 as just loading and not at all in FF 3.5.6, I've disable EVERY mod I have installed too.

[Freddy.k]

Thank you very much

[icemann]

Showing up in FF now but just says Loading........I did everything to the letter I think. lol

Nice one Jordan. Regards, TomSpit.

I have no idea about the last two, but apparently the first one can be fixed like this ;

voila both plugins now play nicely again

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? Really need some help with this.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates i've been busy with one of my other projects. Im just preparing my site for the upgrade to 4.0Gold PL1; because i have been distracted lately i plan on releasing a maintenance release to the 0.6 series, this includes a new method of displaying the chatbox that _should_ fix all of the display issues and conflicting mod's if i get time i may fix the depreciated errors as well

Got about 20 mB left to upload then i can start testing


New version (0.6.10) is now live, please follow the instructions in the README file for instructions on how to upgrade and install the product.

[icemann]

Still just stuck on "Loading..." for me.
