In what subdirectory of my used style do I have to copy the sound files?
The sounds files are in \mgc_cb_evo\clientscript\sound in the zip file and that's where they should be on your server. It's only got 2 sounds. So you need to enable them in the admincp.
The sound files are on the server - there must be another issue. The sound is also enabled in the admincp - do you have a further hint for me? I do not use the standard style.....
German Language isn't translated yet. Any volunteers PM me...
As for the sound, make sure you uploaded it and it's in the right theme folder.
Rick, I don't need a german translator
I have captainslater for german translation, he is doing it for me for years.

Please make a screenshot of the admincp options were sound notifications lies.
I must be losing my mind. I have used this mod for many years, now have a fresh vb4.1.9 that I'm trying to install this mod on and I can't get it to display (forumhome or forumdisplay, above or below). I have it activated, set each usergroup permissions, have it activated in my user settings. I've even reuploaded the product and files just to be sure but no luck.
I activated the full page chat to test, and that does work.

Custom style/template you are using that's not inheriting settings from the other?
And Clement, I didn't see a "German.XML" in the zip.

Nope, it's a fresh vB. Only "customization" I've done so far is install vBSEO. I disabled it just in case but no change. Also setting the chatbox to appear on every page under the navbar worked. Is there still a variable I could throw into the template, or was that only for vB3?
