Another issue that needs correction is that if user who is able to see the archives and not a special channel , he can still enter if he knows the channel ID by entering it into the url.
So have to remove Archive for all members as well.
Oh so you meant I would have forgot to put a condition to check if user has access to the channel if he enters the channel id in the archives manually ?

Sometimes the problem might come from the upload, files might haven't been well uploaded (some users had roblem with filezilla)

Yes. Although they are not able to see the drop down at the bottom of archive page letting them chose different channels, in the link(browser) where it shows channel number, days, and page, they could just enter a different channel number other then 0 and go to that archive.
Can you please answer my question... I am feeling a bit ignored since its the third time ive had to ask and still have not received an answer. I really need to be able to display the chatbox on my blog pages... HELP PLEASE...

I am not really sure if it is the browser or plugin related. But before I upgraded vbulletin to 3.8.2 and MGCchatbox to latest version I had autocompletion of often used chats drop down to choose from. Similar to what is now possible with commands.
Is that removed now from the plugin or am I missing something else?

Oh damn ok, adding this to the bug list, thanks for the report.

Sorry I though I had answered you.
You have to look at the vbblog php files and search for the value of the THIS_SCRIPT define at the top of the file.
Put the found value in the textarea of the acp dedicated to the display of the chatbox on other pages. Then activate the show the chatbox on defined pages below the navbar.

Nope it's there, you have to activate it. If there aren't any command activated you won't see it though

Feature Request: Maybe the current time displayed in the chatbox so users can get an idea of when last chat was made.
Problem: The symbol "%" shows as "%" when entered into the chatbox. Whne going into edit menu is shows back as "%". Maybe its because i have the BBcodes turned off andit doesn't parse special characters?

Well that's not a bad idea, I could do something dynamic.
