thank you.

No problem.

I think you haven't installed all the products or that you have installed the product before putting the files ?

well i went he the "new installation" i can double check i missed something. is there a place i should start my investigation?

Yup:
- First check if both bitfield_mgc.xml and bitfield_mgc_chatbox.xml are in the includes/xml folder => If not, then add them and reinstall the chatbox
- Then go in your admincp in the product list check if there is the MGC chatbox and the MGC bitfields products => If not, then upload the missing product.

This should cover your problem.

for some reason my box just loads.... and loads..... and loads....

Have you uploaded the js files ?

where does this file go
"templateedits-mgc_chatbox.xml"

it is just in the main chatbox folder

This is if you want to do the automatic template edits with the TMS system of Andreas :)

If you have his product installed, with this xml file, template modifications are done only by uploading this xml file. (Instead of having to do them all manually).

Got a bug to report. I never noticed it on my board. But installed a chatbox on friends board which is not English but in Ex-Yugoslavian languages like Croatian,Bosnian etc.
And this happens when someone tries to use a special character letters from that language like:
A shout containing those letters is not displayed. Nor error received. But afterwards messages that don't contain them can't be posted either by that member, they get an error:
"error: please wait some seconds before sending a new message".

After that logging out seems to help to loose that error.

never mind.. got it.. !!! thank you for all your help!
