How do I get rid of this mod? I uninstalled it and deleted every file I could find. It still shows up under group permission and now I get an SQL error anytime I try and save any settings in there. I suspect because MGC is still trying to write to tables that are no longer there. Please help!

Yes they are in there, Do you know what templete to edit for this problem?

Thanks Dave

The little menu arrow is not part of the mgc directory images. It's a vbulletin default image.

You're sure it's in your style ?

How do I create the commands to ban users, chat announcements, and private chats as in the screen shots? Is there a manual?

Any suggestions on how to easier install is welcome.

Each command can be installed separately. There is a readme in the commands directory of the zip file that explain how to install a command

Read instructions carefully, they state that you must remove files before uninstalling the product.

The easier solution is to import the product again, then remove the chatbox files (especially the one from the includes/xml directory) and then remove the product.

It's in there and even replaced the down9x9.gif with the default one from vb.

VBDev · #**1358** 05-18-2008, 09:28 PM

I don't understand what is the problem ? The image is not showing or the chatbox is not showing ?
