Are you trying to lag the shit out of your box? 1 second? At that rate, install a seperate flaschat or chat room. I'd leave that forum if I was a member having it refresh that much.

Did you view in IE? Are you sure this is not a funky half load of the page? I've not heard of this being an error at all. Betting it's not MGC at all.

Actually, I tried viewing it in IE, Firefox and Safari on my PC as well as on my Mac. It is all the same. It is the weirdest thing. In my forum, my logos and icons do not show. Instead, I get the ALT tags showing up. That does not bother me so much as now my ACP does not seem to function. The menu shows up (barely), but I cannot select options within the menu if that option is selectable from a form "submit" button.

All I want to know is how to fully remove this mod if the uninstall options are not available. Is there a single URL, maybe a DB command that undoes the whole thing?

1. Read the docs. It says how to. Simply uninstall, then remove the files.
2. I'll bet it's not this hack as much as I'd love to say it is.
3. Do you have others that can make template mods?
4. Did you try doing a restore of the forum?
5. Do any other plugin/hacks/style changes lately? It's not this plugin.

The docs say to remove the files (I can do this), but it also says to uninstall via the "product" menu. I cannot do this because the "Go" button next to the "uninstall" command does not work.

I would love to believe that, but I literally have done nothing else to this installation. This was the very first thing I did.

How do I do this without losing my threads, forums and users?

I have nothing installed. You saw the screen cap of my "products" page. This is the only thing installed.

Instead it stays the same size and makes a horizontal scroll bar. I don't want that, I want the chat box to span to the proper width of the screen.
What do you mean by span ?

Hum very weird. I don't see how the chatbox would have made the cp style that weird !

I don't do anything with cpstyle so that's indeed pretty strange. You have just installed a clean chatbox on a clean vBulletin ?

I did nor think you did either, yet that is when it happened.

Does anybody know how to revert the forums to the factory default (totally clean) without losing my forums, posts and users?

Is there a way to remove the general chat channel for certain usergroups? Or remove it all together and use my own custom channels?

I recommand you ask for support at vBulletin.com they will certainly be of greater help for that part

Hello,

I've read all posts here and it is appreciated that the developer provides such detailed and long support to this hack.

However, I have activated two channels (staff and team) with two different icons but I can not make to show in the shoutbox. I checked and overchecked all options and all seem to be OK but still no go.
Do I have to add anything to templates, please?
