Just noticed that after changing my forum template the drop down boxes for the chat all show white - unless you hover over the area and then you can see the text - this seems to be for the font size, color, and family drop down boxes. Anyway to change this or fix it without affecting the color across the forum platform? Thanks.

Let me try to break it down for you. I used some page titles and not what you were supposed to click....

In your admin control panel.
1) On the left find the category MGC Chatbox Evo.
2) Click on manage commands and make sure PM option is enabled (click drop down)
3) On the left find mgc chatbox evo
4) Click on command options
5) click "go" next to pm (quickly edit command options)
6) click the boxes next to the usergroups you want to use the chatbox. (save if changes are made)

I think that should get it running.
