cbox alteration

Hello,

I'm in my administration panel and just activated the cbox which now apears under the logo and website name/description. I've noticed that it only appears on the home page though. Is there an option somewhere that allows me to make sure that the cbox is viewable regardless of which subform they are in?

I assume cbox means Chatbox, if so, no there is not, with the standard FM Chatbox. There are other chatbox's that you can substitute with css and Javascript that will allow you to do it everywhere. It is called Avac Web Chat or AWC for short.

So the direct answer to your question is: No you there is not a way with the Standard FM Chatbox to make it appear in the sub forums.

Hope this helps:

You can use the chatbox widget.

That does not really let you chat from everypage though, it just lets you see who is in it and the recent messages. It is a fairly useless widget (in my opinion).

The widget is a simplified way to do it though yes.
