EDIT: Removed all and uninstalled, then re-installed same effect, disbled for now.

What are the exact symptoms ?

Not sure what you meant ?

You are talking of chatbox CMS widget ? It's not included in default release, it's an aside product.

[Zabulus]

PMs are showing up blank, you have to tab back and forth between the user and the main channel to see what was said.

If this was a known issue I apologize in advance.

Here you can see a sent PM



And then the users tab is blank (All my users are reporting this issue)




*** EDIT *** One user with Chrome reports PMing works normally for them.

Also have the same Firefox \ IE issue. Cannot sticky msg, admin functions etc.

[LuDawgs]

I don't even get a tab when I PM. Just says To then the persons name. It's private, but a new tab doesn't spawn.

[LuDawgs]

When ever I slap someone, it tells me that they slapped me

[LuDawgs]

Ok, got it. Yeah, I can get the tabs, but I have to go back to the General piece to see it. Same issue as above.
