Well i looked for an "idiots guide to installing your chat box" and couldn't find one.. Instead i keep getting a forum with the entire embed code wrote out and displayed instead of the chat box.
 
I tried creating a catagory named chat with a forum and the html code in the description as the xat site advised with the same results.. Either i'm a complete idiot (probly the case) or I seem to be missing something here.. Anyone know what i need to do to install the chat box to the forum i've begun to create. :?:

Hi, this is a short instruction on how to install external chat box.
1. Go to AdminCP > BBcode > create a new BBcode
BBcode usage:
Quote[chatbox][/chatbox]
HTML replacement:
Quoteput your chatbox code here
2. Go to Forums administration > put the above BBcode tags into the forum descriptions.

That's all. If you have any questions please let me know.

Yeah like i said I'm a complete idiot at these things.. :-? what your saying is to put [chatbox] then the embedable HTML code for the chatbox followed by [/chatbox] in the bbcode usage box. And then the plain embedable html code into the HTML replacement box.? I tried that, it accepted the bbcode but i can't see the chat box anywhere.. :confused:  I know i know.. I'm a code idiot LOL but this is my first time attempting to learn this and i'd appreciate any and all help. If it helps the embedable code for the chatbox is

I think it is not showing up because you are missing the closing tag. Please try to use the following code and let me know if the problem is still there.

Well... I copy and pasted the "code" you rewrote for me, yet it still does not show up.. At this point I feel as though I'm a lost cause, It accepts the bbcode but doesn't display a chatbox anywhere..

Hello, I too am a novice at making websites and the html code, is there anyway you could possibly help me setup the xat chatbox on my forum, too?
