    The chat is correctly displaying everything except the text. All messages and
    PM's included. When you highlight-select everything, there is not text, like
    it's just being... "eaten." Any advice or fixes?

    Some additional info:

    You can see random quotes (welcome messages, etc.) but when users try to chat
    all you see is their name with no message text following.

    The default installation did not work because it was stating CHMOD errors.

    So it's working or not?

    If still not working, I suspect it's related to this php server bug:
    http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43227

    Check your error log in site's cpanel to see what errors you get. If it's
    mbstring related, then your hosting should be able to fix it by upgrading the
    php version.

    Let me know.

    I had the provider upgrade the php from 5.2.2 to 5.2.12. I reinstalled (the
    installer still failed stating there were php errors trying to chmod some
    files, so I had to manually install).

    After manually doing the installation successfully. I can login and go into
    the chat. When I type it would look like this..

    03:01:21 > Welcome to our chat. Please obey the net etiquette while chatting:
    try to be pleasant and polite.

    should have text after it, because I had typed something. It isn't a color
    problem, it is like the actual text that i am trying to post doesn't have some
    type of permission? Random quotes will display correctly. . For example.

    I've seen this behaviour and the only fix is on hosting hands, only them can
    change the php versions and settings.

    You really need to hunt for the error. Did you check the error log? (in your
    site admin area or cpanel, there should be a log of all the script generated
    errors). That would help look up and hunt the reason.

    PS: send me a link to your chat though.

    There doesn't appear to be any error log, only access logs unfortunately with
    fatcow :(

    I have access to the php.ini if it helps.

    i see you in the chat, but as you can see theres just no text hehe. Its really
    strange. This is the updated php 5.2.12 too.
