Bugs Found

I have instaled this in a new installation vBulletin 4.2.0 PL1 and find two problems or bugs.

1º Problem - The install pack dont have icons so i resolved with this help:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...postcount=2339

2º Problem/Bug - The chatbox Moderators can view IPs
If i choose to not show IPs to Mods in options vbulletin to prevent the mods to check IPs, this Add-on dont have any limitation to this and show the users IPs in:
vsa_chatbox_dropdown
vsa_chatbox_archive_bit


To resolve go to style manager and remove this code from: vsa_chatbox_archive_bit and vsa_chatbox_archive_bit

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I hope in future you add an option to remove the options to checks IPs from users.

Good Addon

Best Regards

Question

its possible put two chatbox onto forumhome? but to different user groups?

So we can monitor the content and not have to type the same screen that the users of the forum.

Any help is welcome

No, this chatbox doesn't have an option to show different boxes to different groups. In fact, I don't recall seeing something like that for any chat boxes (but it's been a while since I was looking).

Actually, MGC Chatbox Evo has the ability to create usergroup chat tabs which is only visible to specific groups.

Yes, in the Style Vars change editor_background. But be aware that it changes other bits of the site too.

Maybe you're getting no support because you don't read what's right in front of you, i.e. the post right before yours.

No support regarding my theme I purchased not the shoutbox.. I didn't get chance to read that because I had to go to work and I just posted the question straight away and never read anything.. Thanks for pointing that out though.

That's not uncommon. People create styles to work with default vb, and have no idea themselves how to make them work with all the different modifications. Sometimes including updates to vb itself.

I love the chat box, only issue I have is:

I have a dark background, the chatbox works fine but when I type the text in the textarea, by default, the text is black and I can't see what I'm typing until I hit enter. Once I hit enter the text is there and white by default which is fine

Hard to know if your typing something wrong.

Where might I find that font setting..exactly?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Almost all the text appearing anywhere in vbulletin can be changed in Phrases.
