Remove:

alert("Ajax error: an error has occured in an ajax request of the chatbox, please report your admin")

Are the other ajax features like quick reply working in your forums?

Yes , every thing is alright.

Well the Ajax error you had is strange because you only should encounter this when using vB3.6 ! Are you still getting this error ?

Yes I'm!
This is my first time I install this plug in , I Update the vb version to 3.8 2 days ago.

In your AdminCP under MGC Chatbox Evo, Input field size
Diminish this value if you have problems with the chatbox size with your style or if you simply want to change this size. (In pixels)

Drop the number down until the scroll bar disappears

I have a problem with the scrollbars with some of my members - not me personally since I am on a 24 inch widescreen at 1680 x 1050... with another monitor right next to it...

and another admin is also reporting the ajax error on the latest version of vbulletin...

I'm getting this same error. Can we get a fix for this?

The screen displays "Loading.." if you use firefox. I was facing the same issue, but used IE and didnt get "Loading".

Solution -

I was getting the error because of the "NoScript" plugin used by me, to block advertisments.

You will need to allow the yahoo server site .

Is there any specific address to allow in the Firefox?
