I searched on the forums here and as well on Google but couldn't find any info. It says the lite version is supposed to notify you of new messages in each chat tab but for some reason it isn't doing that.

I use Chrome and this isn't working but I know other members use other browsers such as IE and Firefox and the feature isn't working for them.

I did have the shoutbox files go corrupt about 1.5 months ago when the forum crashed but I had cleaned out all the files and re-uploaded them all and the chat is working fine except the notifications.

Under the Plugin Manager window in the ACP I have disabled:
New Blog - Add Notification
New Blog Comment - Add Notification
New Thread / Post - Add Notification
New User - Add Notification

I'm wondering if any of those being disabled are affecting the tabs not showing new messages when in another chat window?
 
It's not an exact science to detect messages in the other tabs, and it's not something I've been able to reproduce. Maybe your skin is using a different highlight stylevar so that it appears like it's not notifying?

Debugging it is pretty much impossible so I don't think there's anything I can do about this :(
 
Thanks for the quick response!

So a possible solution is style highlighting. I know you said it's hard to debug but maybe any other clues as to what could be the issue? Is it AJAX that is responsible for checking and sending the update to the tab?
 
Yeah it's AJAX, it sends the list of tabs and receives back the last message date which it compares to an internally stored array.

There's really not many more clues to it, which is why it's hard to debug.
