Maybe I did do something wrong but un installing most mods means simply going to product manager clicking un install, with this it didn't work and broke my forum.

Uninstall instructions :

You must carefully follow these steps if you don't want to screw up your forum when uninstalling the chatbox.

1/ Remove the chatbox files from your forum directories
2/ Uninstall the MGC Chatbox Evo product
3/ You're done with the uninstall

Lets get a few things straight bud.....

First off, you should be doing backups of the database to begin with. If not, there is nobody to blame but yourself for poor administration. Of course that's also how I learned way way back when I first started with VB. I installed all this crap, had no experience with it, messed it all up, had to start over. Learn from your mistakes. You claim the chat messed it up, I'll challenge you to prove that because I'm 99% certain it was user error. The chat makes it's own tables, and doesn't affect vb's. Somewhere, somehow, you probably did a boo boo and you admit it by saying you just clicked uninstall and never read the readme.

And for your second reply. Uninstalling mods doesn't simply mean click uninstall. Almost every plugin/mod comes with a readme. How did you install the product if you didn't read that file? Because in that readme is the install info and uninstall info. Don't get me wrong, I hate reading those long ass files sometimes (more then a few lines = long haha) but the developers make them for a reason and I also messed up the chatbox and had forum errors way back when I first started using the earlier mgc chats. The time it took you to post your reply , is the same time it takes to read the uinstall info.

Do yourself a favor. Start doing db backups with any changes. It's so worth it in the end. It gives you more flexability.
