It seems that the chats in the collapsed chatbox won't be refreshed.

Can anybody reproduce this?

when I click on smilies, help, archive, etc I get a page not found. The directory it is trying to access isn't correct. Its going to domain.com/forum/... I need it to not put the "forum" directory there (domain.com/...). When I upgraded to 3.8 I moved it form the forum directory to the public_html directory. It appears to be pulling that from somewhere else however. Any ideas?

Hi, I've been using this since my site was started. It's by far the best chatbox available imho....

Recently updated my Arcade to the latest version along with the latest version of this chat hack. And since then I cannot get the chatbox to display on the Arcade page or any other page except the forum pages. I've followed the instructions over and over with no joy, and like I say I've used this before without any problems at all, it was displaying on the arcade page with no problems.

I've looked through almost this entire thread and I've seen others having similar problems but haven't seen the solution to this yet.

Your help is greatly appreciated and thanks for your fine work

Just the one specified, the other chats don't have a username/name column in the database so no issue

I'm using 2.2.1 and I have vbulletin 3.8.1.
These are css errors I think ? But not dependent of myself as this the yui internal css code.

Don't worry this won't stop your forum to stop working though.

It's default within vBulletin, perhaps you don't have it in your style ?

I think I already gave that info to someone here in the thread, didn't I ?

Well I think it does as it retrieves username with the fetch_musername function using displaygroup as of where to get the username style.

No there isn't.

Thanks!
This is in the request list, it needs some tweaks to the way popup is created with YUI, this is why it has not already done.

But it's in the todo list.

I think you have not modified the bburl option of your forum when you moved it (it's very bad, you should fix it asap bud ).
