Anybody can help me?, thanks and sorry for my English.

This error is strange.

Are you sure the chatbox is installed ?

Ok, The error is in a Table of Database, I reinstalled that Table and All Ok.

Thanks.

Improvement suggestion:

smilie pop up: give it the same look as default smilie pop up.
Meaning add the phrase "Click a smilie to insert it into your message." below page title and organize smilies in categories.

Right now you are unable to determine which category they belong to and you are not able to change smilie display order by changing the display order of the smilie categories.

im installing MGC Chatbox Evo into 3.7.4

in my styles directory do i just enter the folder titled 'images'?

do you know anything about the following instruction

2/ Upload the content of the "Images" directory in each of your forum styles directories

does this mean everything in the 'images' file?

MGC Chatbox Evo>images>misc>?????

Green, sorry about the delay. My daughter and I had a pretty bad cold. I just took a few days off and didn't check anything on the computer.

You goto your /misc folder for all styles, copy the mgc dir into that. Say your site is www.turd.com (and that's where forums load) and locally on the server say it's d:\user\jewboy\turd.com

You'd goto d:\user\jewboy\turd.com\images\misc and in the zip, you'd goto the /images/misc and drop from there. Meaning, grab the mgc_cb_evo folder and subs and drag it to ur d:\user\jewboy\turd.com\images\misc , and doing so for any other styles...

Turd.com hell yeah man that's my favorite site. LMAO

Haahaha!

For sure your points are all valid - just - if someone wants to backup, AdminCP -> Database Backup and then just selecting the Chatbox tables.
I just want to say it's maybe not required to invent the wheel a second time if already everything's there.
If you backup only the Chatbox tables, the resulting backup won't be that large - just - people would manually need to do it.

This should be exactly what you want, isn't it ? :)

In case of a complete data loss, backup would be that installing the Chatbox again, getting the tables created and then re-import the Chatbox Tables Backups - everything without a complete DB import.

Oh - and - I really never had a large timeout ;) I'm personally using a Master -> Slave replication on a very small backup server and from there again to my local home network.

Back to topic - like said - Backups of the Chatbox can already be done without doing a complete backup of the board DB via AdminCP, adding such a feature would maybe result in a more complex script and we all know - the more complex something is, the more hard it is to have it clean of any hidden bugs.

But - if the developer wants to add such a function, no problem as well :)

Are you sure your Database is ok and that the install process went fine ?

Looks like this table is completely missing or gone. If it exists, maybe do a "Repair" run
