RE: Chatbox for ACR forum
Oops, looks like i didnt do anything to help with the vote. Personally, i dislike having 2 tabs open just to have chat on, but eh, having the chat only on the homepage makes everything simple

I think the shoutbox should have WHOIS support (in IRC). Also, the font size should be a bit larger, and it should have an easier way to PM someone.

Best regards,

What should the WHOIS display? I already thought about that but had no idea what to display x.x

Textsize can be done, i'll do it then with all the other security updates that are in dev.

And I already find pm easy, /msg <nick> <message> or /query <nick>
What did you think of then?

I would like to have a "time bot", you know, something that adds the time of the message in front of it (fe Teamspeak|Skype).
Or if you like it more mybe a bot that posts the time every hour?
Unfortunately I'll be on holiday for some weeks tommorow, so I can't do it myself Sad .

In IRC, /whois will run a WHOIS and return that user's IP, but the chatbox users should have their privacy respected and only display half the IP.

Also, I forgot about the messages. A scroll-bar would work better and be more user-friendly than two buttons.

@Sorunome && all: I'll be away on holiday for 4 weeks tomoroww. So I cannot care about the chat box. I will reset the FTP password, but if you manage to send me your private key per PM I'll add you.

(It is a useless voicemail box I always wanted to try out Tongue)
I also have found a freehoster that seems quite reliable and gives all neccessary stuff, so lets see if it works now first.

//Edit: I see you just did that ssh stuff, seems I have to keep that host for a while, not shure if I manage to give them their money before tomorrow...

By the way, adding scroll-bars can be done with 1 line of CSS:

Find "#mboxCont" and add "overflow:auto"

RE: Chatbox for ACR forum
I added a option for the scrollbar in the options.
I also updated it so that all known security glitcehs are fixed (don't worry, the ones before were *only* being able to read anybodys pm)

RE: Chatbox for ACR forum
The provided scrollbar doesn't work very well. Just remove the buttons and use the CSS I mentioned in the previous post:

#mboxCont { overflow:auto }

Really, don't try to reinvent the wheel. If you use native scrollbars, it'll automatically support the mouse wheel, page up/down, etc.

RE: Chatbox for ACR forum
But IMO the native scroll bar looks ugly.
And believe me, I already got that feedback a ton of times (that the scrollbar isn't working) and that is only because I forgot how a native scroll bar acts x.x
So yeah, a fix is in the ways!
Also: there's also been a hot discussion on the mouse wheel and an agreement that there will be an option for that, defaulted to disabled.
