MARK AS INSTALLED to get support and updates.

[Strike-Force.ne]

Very nice, easy to install, and works great.

I've noticed one thing when it shows the New messages since your last visit:, when I go anywhere on my site or refresh the page, it brings it back up even though they are not new since my last visit. While it's not a big deal, it does fool me into thinking there are new messages.

A feature I would like to see is the option to choose between stacked or side to side of the windows. I say this because the current config almost doesn't offer me enough space because of how my forum is laid out.

Also an audible alert (that can be turned on or off by the user) when new messages are made.

I apologize if this has been asked before but how many members can "chat" in this at a time?

Thanks!

[Terri]

I'm so sorry to have to ask this question - I really feel stupid, but I can't find > Plugin System > Manage Products. I can find AdminCP with no problem, but I don't have those other files/folders. Would someone please be so kind as to point me in the right direction! Thanks so very much!

It's located on the bottom left menu column. It should be third from the bottom listed as Plugins & Products. This is assuming you are either the root admin or have that type of admin acess if you're not.

Thanks so much for the reply! I finally found it!

So far my members are really enjoying it!!

[jalmz]

i hope that the author of this mod can find a way to show this wonderful chatbox in the arcade...
