CB is executing queries every X seconds to get new messages. This is done for all users viewing CB. This may increase server load a lot in some cases. They are sometimes leaving their computers for a while, with forums opened, and then queries are executed for nothing. Why not kick them to save some server resources and bandwidth? This is why automatic log-out. And they are back online with single click.

You may wish to set log-out interval to some higher value? Like 20, 30, or 60 minutes, or more...?

I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to change the background of the chat window (not the text input field)

I've searched through all the pages now and can't figure it out. Have tried adding background-color:#dfdfdf; to various places but no success.

Any help would be much appreciated

Hello, how would I be able to change the color of the font? My background is dark and the black text does not show up. Thanks.

A language pack made the time not show in the chatbox, it only shows the time when I have the chatbox displaying in english, where do I go to fix this? I already tried re-uploading the program and doing the upgrade, but this didn't fix it.

I figured it out. In case anyone else have the same problem, it's located under:

Style Manager > "Your Style" > StyleVars > blockrow_background

We have a pretty good database and are using the original code you have posted.

Any other ideas?

Can anyone give me an idea on how to remove the items in red?

I don't need a font size drop down, even I change the setting to have no font sizes, the box is stull there. I also don't need a search... they are tacky and in the way.

Also there is now a scroll bar in the chatbox. No its not becuase of a long sentance. The only thing typed in the chatbox was "hi". How do I fix this? Its doing it on all 4 skins, including the main VB one.

How can I get this to appear on another page such as a .php page I created myself?

Edit your language, make 'Locale' field blank, then remove all '%' from time/date format settings.
