I have set the max. allowed image per shout = 0, so that it will be set via Message Posting and Editing Options. In Message Posting and Editing Options it is set = 0 ie disable; yet my member can only display 2 of the same image (smilie) or 3 of different images (smilies).
I am an admin so the problem doesn't apply to me.

In the permission setting these member group were allowed 4 instance permission and 4 BBcode permission ( these 4 at the beginning of each line):

can view shout, can view archive, can shout, can edit (instance permissions)
and
allow basic bbcode, allow colour bbcode, allow size bbcode, allow font bbcode (bbcode permissions)

Not sure how to fix the problem of these limiting smilies! Please help.
 
To make sure I understand you correctly: certain non-admin usergroups can still use smilies in spite of the "max images per shout" settings being 0?
 
Yes they can still use smilies normally in thread - post , ie unlimited, but they are limited number smilies in the shoutbox.
 
I've made a potential hotfix to /dbtech/vbshout/includes/class_dm_shout.php, could you please update to v6.2.5 and let me know if this works for you?
 
Thank you Fillip H..
To update to this new version, do I need to remove the old version then reinstall the new one? All the upload files will have to over written the old files?
 
There's no need to remove the old files :)

You can simply upload the new files with overwrite, and import the XML file with overwrite enabled as well :)
 
I have updated to the 6.2.5 but nothing change with respect to the smilies.
I increased the max. images /shout to 5, the shout took much longer to display but eventually it was the same with only 2 smilies.
I have another question, is there a setting that I can change the font size, the font is too small which members have found it's difficult to read.

Hi Fillip H.,
Is it possible for me to download the older version 6.2.4?
The loading of my homepage is noticeably slower than before ..
Thank for your help

I'll re-test this when I have time :)

Adjusting the font size is a Pro-only feature.

You can do this by choosing a different version in the drop-down menu.
 
Thank for replying.
Followed your advice I updated the vbshout, problem is you only know it after installing. In my case, rather fixing the problem, it slows the forums down.
Can you tell me where is this dropdown menu? I looked inside admin cp > setting or vbshout setting and couldn't see any drop down menu which I could select back to the old version.
If you can let me download the old version I'd be grateful.

The shoutbox has stopped working and showed message "Loading..." only.
It had happened once before and I have to reinstall Vbshout again for it to work!
is there a way to get it working again or I have to reinstall the add-on?
Thank
 
The browser consol reported some thing about the vbshout but I don't quite understand!
I cleared all the cookies and history + update Firefox but the error remained. Internet explorer showed the same error "Loading...".
Is there any fix or I have to reinstall the vBshout?
 
You might want to post the contents of the browser console here, that's why I asked :)
