Hence there is no real work around.

I'll be implementing a smart bot but no right now.

Waiting for your work . Good job and thank you very much

I see 3.0.0 was removed as well, I've been watching by as this new version has progressed, not sure I'm going to make the jump yet.

[VBDev]

Yeah as there is no encoding anymore thought it was useless to keep the 3.0.0 here.

[Skyborg]

Just installed the new version.

PM:
But have a display error, wrong Username/s will be displayed.

Just see my screenshots.

[VBDev]

There was such an issue sometime ago but never found why and thought it was fixed.

Can you please report it useing project tools on my website plz ?

Updated my shoutbox to 3.2.3 today and then ran the the update of vB to 4.1.11.

Now click my link and look at the shoutbox.

It has the New Posts Private Messages FAQ Calendar Community Forum Actions Quick Links right below the smilies.

I tried reinstalling the shoutbox and I got this error - An error occurred while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned: Bitfield Collision: credits_cantearn = allowvideos

This error now also shows up under AdminCP -> MGC Chatbox Evo -> Chats formatting -> Choice of the formatting options which can be selected in the user control panel

EDIT: Found out it was a conflict in my custom skin.

not fixed with this version... (
