I've followed the directions to add the chatbox to the arcade and was unsuccessful.

Anything else I need to look for.

I am experiencing this as well.

Also, I am having the issues of adding the chatbox to pages such as my USERCP.

I'm having a hard time getting the shout box to display on other pages as well, like the casino, arcade, usercp...pretty much everything other than the default ones.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated

There's a bug, when someone's username ends with a ' browsers report unterminated string constant errors.

About the PM in chat, what makes you think it doesn't work ?

Have you check that you are using the right syntax ?

And the chatbox stops working ?

[Skyrider]

I really wish this chatbox had the option to view IP's of guests for admins, and able to ban the specific IP temp.
