Chat Window/Box with scroll bar not displaying

I mentioned an image so I placed the link to the image I was referring to. You can also go here to see what I mean even if not registered you still will see the difference.

Thanks for any help…

Yes easy fix: in the settings custom CSS field, find or add the following selector:

ul#sac-messages {}

Inside it, declare a height for the chat box, for example:

ul#sac-messages { height: 300px; }

And remember to save the changes.

I did. Thank you. How do I make it look like yours in the Pic though? It looks so cool and fuctional. Mine, it now scrolls but no scroll bar and it scrolls into the name and message box where yours is all neatly on the side. I am so sorry to bug you. And especially sorry I am not very good as a programmer in this stuff anyway. I am learning ever so slowly though. Thank you again.

Ah yes, sorry I forgot you also need to add “overflow: auto;” to get the scrollbar to appear, like so:

ul#sac-messages { height: 300px; overflow: auto; }

Let me know if that works!

Yes, Thank you so much it does. I know there is a read me file somewheres is there other items to add to it as well? Like for the input fields to be on the side instead of bottom? and Color? Wow your pic is really neat looking but this is definately fuctional. Of course now it has an error that wasnt there before I will try it in firefox to see if it works any better than ie.

Is that IE8? Honestly I haven’t tested in older versions of browsers, everything should work in current versions though.. I can look at IE8 for the next update and see if it’s something that’s fixable. Thanks for the feedback.

Please check the latest version of the plugin (20130712) — it’s been completely rewritten and many bugs have been fixed. Closing this thread on that account, please feel free to open a new thread for further questions, feedback, or issues. Thanks.
