Chat Box Enabled!

[MadMarketScientist 11]

By request, we've implemented a ChatBox for everyone - please check it out at the top of the Forums page.

 

We only have one 'chat room' right now but please feel free to suggest others

 

thx

May I suggest putting it on the home page, or at least the link to it, preferably in the main tool bar (Home, Forums, Indicators . . . ). Otherwise, guests may never even see it.

 

Also, why are my PMs posted to it?

My pms also look like if they were posted on the chat. What is going on?

It may be that you're the only one who can see them. I discovered a new options page in the User CP for the chat. Just uncheck the PMs option. Mine are no longer there.

Hi

 

Yes - only you will see notifications of your PMs in the ChatBox. Here are the options:

 

(Pro) Enable PMs

The Shoutbox has the ability for users to send Private Messages between themselves.

 

(Pro) Enable PM Notifications

When someone sends a Private Message on the forums, vBShout can send a shoutbox PM to the recipient.

When I click on "Forums" the Chat box comes up.

 

(Appreciate the facility btw)

 

Is the link corrupted?

 

Can not access "Forums"

 

Cheers

Is this still a problem? I can't replicate it ...

No - it was only me.

 

I noticed at first that the chat box opened when clicking on "Forums" on the tool bar.

I thought that I had landed on the "Chat" page again. But when scrolling down I saw

that I was indeed on the "Forums" page.

 

I can live with it, but can not see the use for a chat box that everyone can see.

I can use Skype for that, and it is private.

 

Might as well just stick to using the threads the comments should be in anyway.

 

I have disabled the ability for others to see when and to whom I send PM's too.

 

Thanks MMS

1. create your own chatroom and invite users to it! use the 'blue ballon button and invite button' on the ChatBox toolbar

 

2. or shortcut "/createchat myroom"

 

3. and to invite people "/chatinvite user"
