I just updated my site to 4.0.1. No problems with GCBOS, still running well.

[kylek]

Same here, still working after the upgrade to 4.0.1

[utahraves]

I am having issues after installing 4.0.1. I had to revert my templates because of an issue I was having trying to figure out what went wrong... and when I figured out what was wrong... it says LOADING but that is about it.

I just put my IE8 into private browsing and it worked. lol this vb4 is really hard on my server

[CFodder]

Have a few of questions:

1. How can we put the chat/message under the username/time, and
2. How do we get rid of the # in front of the time, and
3. Would like the latest chat/message to be at the top, how coudl I do this?

Suspect both of these would be an edit in the GCBOS_class.php, but not sure where.

Now a fix of sorts, if you want to change the time display for each shout, you need to edit the following line in gcbos_class.php"

$time = vbdate('g:i', $timestamp, false, false, true);

Change the g:i to the time format you want. For example we changed it to h:ia, which gives time as 5:52pm
