I have the shoutbox installed too. So I disabled the shoutbox plugin and then installed the the Chatbox but it does not show in the forum. I have five skins and two of them are updated at rev 3.7 but stil nothing....
These two: the shoutbox and MGC Chatbox could not co-exist?

Back to it not working on the one forum. It's buggy still as it works on some, and not others. It's definitely worth the wait because this developer does respond and takes a lot of advice and uses it... So I'll stick with him for now.

This hack works perfectly for me on Firefox, but my IE users cannot see the chatbox... Anyone know why that is?

Hope you had a good holiday! Mine is working fine now - i did the changes suggested by Stangger5 and everything is working well. We had "securitytoken" followed by a bunch of numbers after each chat for the first couple of days but that has mysteriously disappeared!! And the chatbox also mysteriously appeared on my Arcade page, which I had been trying to do for the past month!!!

I'm not sure what all happened, but its all working well now so we're happy!!!
