Oh boy what a bad idea THAT would be. My members post about 100 messages a minute in my shoutbox. Wouldn't be my favorite thing to wake up to gmail saying "100 new messages" lol.

What you can try is changing the chat text field of the mgc_cb_evo_chat table to utf8.

How can I remove this?

What I need to know how to do is how to remove the MCG ChatBox Evo Custom Permissions from the UserGroup Administration page. I reinstalled the addon and then uninstalled it and I still have this at the bottom of my usergroup settings: http://www.screen-shot.net/ss/664945965867.png

How do I get rid of it?
Well your admin should have read the uninstall instructions ...

To remove this error remove the cahtbox files from the includes/xml directory.

Check your filezilla options, the other users where using filezilla too and had problems.

Try removing files and then upload them rather than overwriting.

If in Admincp, we have chat as Newest First, in chats display ( i think it is )

Then when we collapse chat it totally collapses, as it should.

If we select Oldest First, which is our users preferred choice (Chats display order)

Then when you select minimize ( ie collapse chat ) the chat collapses and then pops back out to about 1/2 its original height.

Even tho no one is chatting.

Ste
There is no total collapse unless u set the chats in collapsed mode to 0, otherwise the editor dissapear but the latest X chats appears.

1. I just type and read messages, and this was happened!?!?

3. Others replys also have some problem (you can see that I must scroll down slidebar to see a full message)




4. This time I just click on any other custom channel, and then return to General channel, and this problem NOW is corrected!




BUT, sometimes this procedure not helps Sometimes, I need to refresh page, sometimes I must close browser,...... I still cannot find reason for this problem..... I just type and read messages.... and sometimes this problem shows.....

I think you have your vBulletin for testing, and maybee you can set input field bottom and older first, and test your chat for a long time.... Maybee, try to test it from time to time couple hours (do not close browser)..... Maybee you'll see this problem?!

I just want to tell you that your chat version 1.5 don't have this problem with this settings!!!!
Issue is when you have a smiley posted in a chat alone. In that case the inner height of the chatbox is not updated correctly by the browser and thus the chatbox doesn't display it correctly and an offset is appearing.

I haven't found any way to get over that sorry.

Check readme ...

You have to remove the chatbox files (especially in the includes/xml directory).

This is the one of many times I am repeating this...

In your old ver. 1.5 everything was OK.... I hope so that you'll find solution for this version. OK, in pic#1 is posted just smilie, but on pic#2 answer is just text and pic#3 text+smilie and again it's not display chats correctly. Also, this problem is not display ALWAYS?! I believe in YOU and Your skils (I have use ver. 1.5 for a long time and everything was working well), and You need just enough time and a little luck to find a problem...... Good Luck!


Thanks in advance m8

Yes but between pic#1 and pic#2 you haven't refreshed the page so the chatbox inner height is still known as wrong in the javascript.

And I can tell you that I already searched quite a few hours on that issue ...
