In the event that such an error happened inform the administrator describing the action you were doing before this happened.

I get error msg: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare vsacb_userexcluded()
vbcms/controller/content.php(84) : eval()'d code on line 31

Anybody know how to fix that problem?

Much better than that GCBOS or whatever that laggy chatbox is called. Lagged my server like hell with like 60+ users online, poor Dedicated Server.

Only thing im recommending is:

1) Can you add a function to MSG people privately on the chat, Basically the ability to only send a msg to that person (by clickong in their name or using like /pm <username> hi)

1.2: Additionally some functions like /mute <username>, /unmute <username>, etc would be nice

2) When I had a notice up, the chatbox was above the notice, and it looked weird. how do i fix this placement


As for the way this was coded, far more faste than GCBOS

Really love this mod.

I'm curious if anyone else is still having issues with the Expand/Collapse button disappearing you collapse and refresh? I've noticed it actually loads the correct one, then changes it immediately to: ".../images/buttons/collapse_collapsed_40b_collapsed.png" and if you re-expand it loads the the collapsed image instead of the expanded one.

Also is there any way to reduce the extra padding under the ChatBox when expanded? It about doubles from when collapsed on my site.

then in vBA admincp created a new template module, using the above template and turning 'Module Wrapper Template' off.
In chatbox CP I set 'Show chatbox on pages' to

and 'Show ChatBox in templates' to

and set 'Position on Page' to 'Disabled'

I'm having the same alignment issues where the username does not align with the inputed text for that person.

Edit:
Apparently, the alignment issue only happens when there are smilies in the text. Otherwise, it comes out fine. If the smilies were bottom-aligned I think everything would be fine.
