View the screenshots above. It's not like it's going to be much different.

How do I activate commands? I have enabled everything in usergroups, also the auto-complete for commands, but it does not work. Commands not working, auto-complete not working ... I am running vb 3.7

[Been Told]

Admin CP -> MGC Chatbox Evo -> Manage commands -> next to each command you have a drop-down list with "Enable" and "Quickly edit command permissions".
Edit the permissions, then enable the commands you want.

It works now. But how can I change the normalfont - settings? I need to adjust the font size and padding etc.

[Been Told]

Just put this in the template additional.css:

.mgc_cb_evo_block .normalfont {

    /*your font declarations here */

}

I have a question,

The link that is displayed when someone posts a reply in a thread is not getting the "&goto=newpost" attached to the end of the link so it is currently taking them to the top of the page when they click on the link in the chatbox.

Any help fixing this?

don't get that myself ... it is the URL only under the post discription .. ck in
adimcp >>MGC Chatbox Evo>>>>Chats formatting

also in admincp>>usergroups>>usergroup manager>>(example) registered users

make sure both have permissions to do what you want ..

[Last7Studios]

Its not that its not showing up in the chats, it is. The link that is posted is just not correct that is all. It is showing the thread, not the newest post in the thread.

Tried installing this, but, the admin control panel is not English. I can't read anything. How do I change the admin control panel to English?
