any help please?
(this did not happen when i used cyb chatbox)

Go in the plugins manager and edit the one attached to forumhome_complete, remove the <br /> from the quotes and it should do it.

Yeah it's planned. However next release won't be before june, I am moving from location on the first week of june so have to prepare lots of things before

@VBDev: Thanks for information, the whatsonline-feature is something I can wait for.
For the refresh rate: There must have been something with caching. Now it works.
Thanks for your help

Regards

Well the module was made by the author of vBCMS itself I think so you should ask him directly.

[kensaurus]

removing the <br/> did not help.
i deleted it from forumhome_complete...
i noticed that the gap appears after the copyright thing loads...

hi Dev I'm trying to add a new channel and a image for it but i just cant get the image to show

18_cb_gen_channel_sel
18_cb_gen_channel_new
18_cb_gen_channel_nosel

i tried putting the full name and even with just 18_ what am i doing wrong ??

edit: Ive got them in every style folder i have including the image folder

I am still having problems with the language setting still being in French or whatever the default language is.

I have upload/imported the English.xml file, but that does not seem to help at all. Still seeing the same French language.

Anyone else having a hard time changing the language to English?

[Markos]

Wat part is it that's not in English ??

[Mellymonster]

Just curious if there is anyway to add a report chat button? Like maybe in the drop down menu by the name? If a chat is out of hand or what not?
