I still have the problem when you become a warning message. For example, in quick succession to posting the message was supposed to come, this one can not read and so is dictated by you. Only thing I can now make even more?

Yesterday my website got suspended. When i asked why they said me that there was an attack to the host from my website from the url: /mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php. I thought that was what makes the chat being always connected so i downgrade it to the version 3.2.2 and no more problems. Is there any solution for this? Or its a bug with the reconnection of 3.2.3 and i should keep using 3.2.2?

Anyone know how to make:

That I can put anywhere, I don't want the whole statistics thing.

I've installed it on vbulletin version 3.8.7 and currently testing it with internal stuff before buying the branding free version and releasing it for all users.

Currently I have the command/action-box issue, that was reported several times in January/February in this thread. So in Firefox and Internet Explorer all the action available pressing the down-arrow-button are not working. Any ideas, where this is coming from and how to get them running?

I beg your pardon but the url you shown me is a screenshots of options from 3.0.0 (YUI is not used anymore).

Well that one is certainly because your text is white all over the forum.

The only possibility would be to tweak the css code.
Edit CSS Templates > mgc_cb_evo.css

Add at the bottom :

div#mgc_cb_evo_dialog_content {
color: black;
}

I am sorry but I didn't understand everything.

What did your host meant by attack ? Did he mean many calls from your site to the file mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php ? What's your refresh rate ?

In 3.2.3, I have implemented a mechanism that checks if an ajax calls timeout to refresh the chats in that case I launch a retry that could come from there but I need more info from you.

What do you mean by "being always connected" ? What do you mean by reconnection ?

That would need custom coding.

This is odd because another user reported this for 3.8.7 but wasn't able to reproduce it myself on my 3.8.7 setup.

Do you have any specific feature active ? PM in tabs ?

I have vbseo, "vB Tournaments and Ladders", "Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics" or "AME - The Automatic Media Embeder" and some other small PlugIns running. What is strange:

Commands/Actions/links on the forumhome and in the fullscreen-mode are not working 100%, but on the archiv-page at least the link to the users profile and link to all messages from one user are working, modify message is partly working, the others not.

Would really like to get this mod running

Oops

Well, I have activated

• FullScreen-Mode
• A 2nd channel
• Automatic chat-reload
• Show time in chat
• Count Chat message in database

Bbcode, smileys and mostly all other features are off. So its really a basic version, I guess.
