I have the maximum font set to 4. But, if someone manually types in the font size, they can set it to whatever size they want.
Is there something you can add to say if it goes over xx it gets reset to the maximum number? Like if a user entered 7, and my max number is 4, it would be reset to 4?

I know, the option is just here to hide it from the select.
It was a bit complicated to check also size as I don't modify the way bbcode are handled in vBulletin so I can't really change that you know.

Yes that's a good idea.
But I must say that if automatic posts removal is active, stickied posts would be removed as command are independant from that task.

Are you sure you don't have a problem of install as it is working very well on all forums I know.
As far as I know it shall be working with the module. Have you tried to work it around with stangger5 the author of the module ? He's a very motivated guy and always try to help people out.
As stated, I don't want to use the module. I was primarily using it as a test to see if it worked comparatively with the page variable option. I am frustrated now, as I attempted to revert to the previous version and it also now displays the perpetual "Loading ..." message. I can offer a $20 donation if you can get this working for me as a page variable on the vBa page, otherwise I will likely be forced to abandon this mod in favor of another. I don't want to do this, of course, as this mod offers the best features.
G'day i am ahving a huge problem with the chatbox.
Basically I type somehting into the input field, hit enter and nothing happens.
I uninstalled, reinstalled. It worked for an hour and stopped again.
Permissions are all set correctly.
Running latest version.
Help??
*** edit*** This only seems to be happening when I turn the prompt message off...
But as far as I can see there is no problem with the header on the screenshots you posted ??
I have changed the width of the header so that it matches up with the width of the center part so it looks okay. However, prior to installing the chat box, our center area had a width of 800, its now up to 1000. We would like it back to 800 if possible!!
Yes.. im shure. On Safari, the Pulldownbox dont close
OH yes you're right. Just ran Safari on my Mac and saw that problem too

I have seen stangger5 was going to look into your problem so I think this shall be ok no ?

I am not sure that with the actual system it could be possible to make it, I think I have to add the possibility, in the chats retrieval command code, to add sql order by conditions to the query.
So you'll have to wait till a new release

This has already been reported I am trying to figure out what's the bug as this one is really vicious.

The only thing i see is the input field width, that's all that could make it behave like it does on your forum.
