Inactive mode feature for server load optimization
One "bug" i have experienced is when the inactive mode on load is active. I click in the refresh button and the security token error appears (in both IE and FF). Don't know if is only me or if it happens with some one else.
I personnaly don't receive a security token error. However there was a small bug in the condition in the template which made it not working.
very same problem, i deleted the menu drop down, and it worked in firefox, but not ie, but if i dont delete the drop down menu, it will be right aligned, and works perfect in IE
I'm not sure what you mean by you deleted the drop down. Which drop down are you refering to? Mine doesn't work at all in IE (except for archives) and displays the chats horizontally in FF.
Not that I haven't likely broken it, but is there a particular plug-in area or global setting I can see to determine what is preventing $mgc_cb_evo_var from working in my arcade pages (I did the requisite modifications to the global parameters, the list of other pages and the insertion of $mgc_cb_evo_var ) and also the WhosOnline page (online)...?
I've even tried to add it to the FAQ page (added faq to List of the other forum pages as well as $mgc_cb_evo_var to the area under the navar in the template...
Where would one look first for signs of the cause?
May i know what it is? I could try and see if i can correct it.
In the mgc_cb_evo template there is a "<else>", it should be "<else />".

The only thing that could cause a problem is the globalization of the mgc_cb_evo var in the arcade template building function.
Hello, I just installed this mod and it's great! I have a stupid question though regarding commands, none of mine seem to work. I've read through out this thread that the "command permissions" must be enabled, but where exactly do I do this? I've looked under "usergroup permissions" and under all five "MGCChatboxEvo" sections found under "Vbulletin Options" and I cannot find where to allow permissions for the commands.
