I am trying to figure out how you edit the default room. I see I edit the rooms that I have inputed, but the default page does not show up in the vchat room control. I just don't want a room that says default.
Thank you, it works great and we are already enjoying it. No members have liked this post.

Anyway to kick auto-kick idle users, since it refreshes every x ammount of seconds, it keeps them as 'online' in the current minute. Probably bad for bandwidth & is a pain.
Also, anyway around the bug relating to the # of users online? No members have liked this post.

Excellent!
Very sweet addition! Got one question though. At the end of the instructions, there is this last thing to do:
Go to your Admin CP, then go to the following area: Scheduled Tasks -> Add New Scheduled Task Fill in the form as follows: Title: vBChat Auto Prune Day of the Week: * Day of the Month: * Hour: 0 Minute: 2 Log Entries: Yes Filename: ./includes/cron/vbchat.php Well, I don't have this setting to choose from in my admincp....what to do?

I made the mistake of attempting to upgrade from 1.0.0 to 1.1.1 using the upgrade script (1.1.0-1.1.1). I did not seem to have a problem when running the install script even though it was obviously it is the wrong script. Anyway, when I update my "vBChat Options" I get the following database error:

The bug on the forum home showing who's online is really bugging me (shows I am only one online, when there are others online). Any way to fix this?

I just installed this and although a room is created when I enter one, i'm never forwarded on to the next page or given a confirmation. It looks like it takes, and i can even join the room - but even on the join room page, when i select the room and click to get there, the page still never refreshes. Is anyone else seeing this? It looks like all my templates are there - what gives?
Is there a way to turn that clicking refresh of the page sound of from IE globally (like so all my users don't have to mess with their audio settings?) this is a great mod - thanks. my only suggestions would've been to add a global phrase for vbchat so the word 'vBchat' could be changed throughout the navigation and chat pages and maybe provide a little more control on where the smilies are coming from. I have some smilies that are really tall (like a BS Flag) and when those happen to show themselves, the chat window is pretty much one line. Where is it pulling the default smilies from? is there a way to control this?

I shudder at the thought of messing with mySQL tables knowing what I did the last time. OOOPSIES.
Thanks for an awesome mod, however - really cool. No members have liked this post.

There is a security hole in this hack!
If a person logs into your forum, enters the chatroom, then logs off, then clicks their back button they can post in the chatroom and it doesn't show a member/user name. If you refresh the screen then you see the No Guest Access message. No members have liked this post.

About the blinking/refresh thing. I ran PHPMyChat for a while, and as far as I can tell, theat uses a similar refresh system, but it doesnt blink. Anyone know how they got round the issue?
