I edited my message and did not realize you already reply to my past questions.
However, please take a look of these problem.
#1- The chatbox keep saying "loading". All my previous chat transcript are available in archive but on the main display, nothing shown. Just a plain boring "loading" text.
#2- I got this when trying to update the counters. "You must first activate the user chats count in order to be able to update the counters". What does it mean?
So, can anyone advise me on what should I do?
VBDev?
*You can see it on my site in my signature.

The javascript loading is a bit slow at startup, try setting yui files to be loaded from your server rather than yahoo server in the chatbox options.
The default fonts in my chatbox are a lot bigger than the standard fonts used throughout my site - how do I go about adjusting them? I can see you've got classes set up, is there any place I can alter the CSS definitions? In particular I want to adjust the date/time font

Your chatbox is not visible to anonymous so can't have a look.

It's an option you have to activate, check the chatbox options.

There is an option to set wether chats shall use the normalfont or smallfont css class.
For the date/time font, you have to edit the mgc_cb_evo_chatbit* templates.
Edit the posbit and postbit_legacy templates and add:
Why you don'T use template Hooks for instance postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts?
Or better put a set of options in admin panel with Radio buttons allowing to choose the place where everything must appear without any template editing - vBulletin is so kind to put so many template hook everywhere....
By the way After Updating I got that avatars and usernames were not visible. Chats themselvs and userids were correct, but everything was looking terrible. Attachment 98080
I decided to re import my chat database, using import script and now it looks good. )

It's because you had not followed correctle the install instructions
There was a script to run to get them to show.
