To be honest, it's a mobile platform and the chat isn't realistic on that.
You need more info too. Are they all using iFail's.... Are they all using safari? Did you try it in Dolphin browser? If it's only on a few and all on the same device there is your answer.
I know though, for a fact it works on the iFail's because my forums chat works on my phone.
I wasn't trying to have it on the mobile style... The vb 4.x had the default mobile style that didn't show the chatbox (so it seemed) so after your post... I went into the chatbox options and told it to not put the chatbox in the mobile style... that solved the error. apparently some how the mobile style was referencing the chatbox somehow, enough to give some devices and error, and on others just not show the chatbox.
Thanks,
Andrew
I've been playing with the options and when I set the Hide Refresh Display option in the "Configuration of the small size version" to yes the chat only displays "loading" and nothing else.
When I set that option back to no then the chat works again. I've repeated this several times and the result is the same.
This should explain (but not solve) many of those "loading" issues reported
I will continue to update this thread with findings as I go through a shakedown of this addon.
You can,t be serious...This is the easiest Mod to add to a site.
Dont bag it when the problem is most likely you...:down:

I can't seem to find where you toggle off chatbox in mobile style. Where did you do this please since I have the same problem as yourself in the mobile version.
If anyone is in the same boat as I was in terms of that mobile browser error you can fix it by disabling the plugin and then re-enabling it under your product manager page.
It shouldn't be calling the chat in the mobile style. Good catch.......
I'll see if I can replicate and I think the mobile style uses new functions so VBDev, I think if statements or something for the style might need updated.
