thanks vbdev.. so far i only have problem that all messgs appear at the same time after some seconds.. I mean its not 100% live.. I had vsa chatbox before.. and that shows each messg as soon as press enter.. DO i have to work around with the configuration or something ? other than that this is perfect
I've found the plugin in VBAdvanced 4.0.0 that causes the issue by adding too much space beneath the chatbox if placed in the forum beneath the Navbits: Integration Output global_complete
Now to work out why?
FYI, just to be safe I actually just updated my entire board to the newest <4 version (3.8.5).
The problems still exist.
Humm, can you do a search on js files in clientscript ? For the vbulletin_version keyword.

Yep refresh time. But normally when you chat they then get refreshed.

Well as I already said, no vB4 CMS widget for now so can't help

Is it $mgc_cb_evo_var ?
Well it's both vB3 and vB4 thread as there is no more vB3 thread
That youtube tag is a bbcode ? If yes then it shouldn't work in the chatbox as it's not in the tags list.
Unless this tag is added in another way than being in the tag list array which wouldn't be such a clean way.
Well, I just added it as an embedded html code via custom BB codes. I am quite sure it works, but it doesn't appear anywhere as an option.
Really, we don't have a problem with the Youtube tags, it's the insipid autoplay option that's terrorizing users. In forums, I just replace the string "autoplay" with "xxxxxxxx" or something and that stops it from happening. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a built-in wordfilter here (and if there is, I can't find it).
