Admin Forum:How can someone enable personal chat hacks on a wiki?

I'm the founder and admin of a wiki and I have no idea how to enable chat hacks for it. It's driving me nuts.

I read this blog: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:PlasmaTime/Chat_hacks_-_how_to_enable_them

then I went here: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:WildloughRhulain/global.js

and I totally blanked. When there's a lot of code I have no idea WHAT I'm doing. I work in visual mode all of the time, the only "source code" I know is the "add link" button.

Can anyone help please? I don't want to do the wrong thing and mess it up.

Yep, that should be right. Now you just have to refresh your cache. Fang ³  12:28, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

How do I refresh the cache? I'd need a step by step walkthrough on doing it. Did I even add the right code? I pasted this:

importScriptPage('User:Monchoman45/ChatHacks.js', 'c'); importScriptPage('User:Joeytje50/ChatPMs.js', 'c');

 * As long as you copied the coding from that blog post, it should be fine. Fang ³  13:23, September 17, 2012 (UTC)



Same for me too... Added into both the global.js of community wikia and wikia.js on my wiki... Ctrl + F5 and Shift +F5 but nothing happened when I open up the chat... I tested the feature with : /clear.

 * Hi, to enable your chat hacks script, because of the upgrade, you now need to open up your web console, (Chrome: CTRL SHIFT J FF: CTRL SHIFT K) and add in your chat scripts and then press enter. -- Plasma  ( Talk ) 14:41, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

I opened the console and I see this:
