Check the configuration of your style to see where the misc directory for the style is, images are probably not in the right dir.

How to delete all the links into sql of EVO ?

[Aaron O]

After I upgraded from 0.5 to 1.0, the chat box doesn't load on my vBulletin 3.7.3 Patch Level 1 version message boards. What gives?

You have to follow the uninstall instructions of the readme file correctly

All the links into sql will thus be removed.

Check that you have correctly uploaded all the files and that you haven't any chatbox templates modified.

Hi guys !

First I want to congratulate VBDev for this great hack, it's nearly perfect !

Nearly because I noticed a little bug : after the installation, I couldn't access to my forum. After many search, I find the source of the trouble : with Firefox (and Opera also I think), people who belong to an additional group can not access to the main page of the forums. Indeed, there is this alert :

Encoding contents error

I permit to translate my post in French, because my English is so bad and because I know that VBDev is French

--------

Apr?s installation, je me suis rendu compte que sous Firefox (et sous Op?ra aussi je crois, si mes souvenirs sont bons), un membre appartenant un un ou plusieurs groupes d'utilisateurs additionnels ne pouvait pas voir le hack, le message d'erreur suivant apparaissant :

Erreur d'encodage de contenu

La page que vous essayez de voir ne peut ?tre affich?e car elle utilise un type de compression invalide ou non support?.

La page que vous essayez de voir ne peut ?tre affich?e car elle utilise un type de compression invalide ou non support?.

Veuillez contacter le webmestre du site pour l'informer de ce probl?me.

Ce soucis est assez g?nant tout de m?me.

------

Thanks in advance


[EDIT] I have found a second bug : the unselection of checkbox to not display the choice of the font, the color and the size and the buttons for put the text on bold, italic and underline is ineffetive.

--------

J'ai trouv? un second bug : la non-selection des checkbo pour ne pas afficher les listes d?roulantes permettant le choix de la police, de la couleur ou de la taille et pour ne pas afficher les boutons pour pouvoir mettre le texte en gras, en italique ou en soulign? ne fonctionne pas.

I installed the non-evo version and had loads of white page problems. Does this version cause problems with vbadvanced?

Please try uploading files again.

Re-uploaded the files but has made no difference, still page not found.

Check the addon at the bottom of the first post. The is a mod which allows you to use the chatbox with vBAdvanced. Not sure if this is what you are after.
