Sorry, so confusing how the page title is different than what you click....
mgcchatboxevo click on manage commands then click "go" on the far right of PM line to edich with usergroups... but I think default is all of them anyway
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.

Thank you i have done that
I also see this Chats sending between defined usergroups (Team)
Do i need to enable that
Also when you want to have a private chat with a member where is the option to do this
No, the team thing is something different, we used it for moderators for a little bit but ultimately disabled it as it wasn't used enough to warrant being activated. You use the arrow to the left of the username and select "send private chat to...." There are commands you can type out too which you can get more information on by clicking the question mark button on the lower left of the chatbox. Here is what it says about PMs (check it out though, it covers more topics....)
Quote:
Command /pm
To send a private chat to an user, you can do it by using the menu on the left of the chats or by using one of the following syntaxes :
/pm uid userid your_message : Send a private chat to the user identified by the userid passed as command parameter.
/pm uname "userid" your_message : Send a private chat to the user identified by the username passed as command parameter.
/pm your_message : Send a private chat to the last user to/from which you have received/sent a private chat.
The images of the chatbox doesn't seem to work. I've uploaded them in the correct parts of the style (in images/misc/) but they appear broken. When I grab the image URL 1.1.1.3/bmi/ inserts itself in front of my forum URL.. any ideas?
