Yes I forgot to say that but firefox does strange things with cache and if you don't refresh it chatbox could stop working (wrong js file in cache).



You have to make a full refresh of the page. See in the list



Oh yes small bug I am attaching the corrected functions_mgc_cb_evo.php here and to the main thread.

Thanks for this new file. Updated earlier, and those who were complaining about it said the error went away... how come it only effects some people?

[VBDev]

It certainly depends of the different users browser cache configuration.

[cheat-master30]

I don't understand how that would cause an effect, any extra information? Because about half my forum said it happened, half said it didn't.

[Nakadai]

Working well thus far, thanks!

In the archiv I can see the messages, but the function to delete it will not work. There is a message "Error on the side":

Can you help me to fix this problem please?

Because half of your users had the old javascript file in their cache and half hadn't that's all.

Oh !!!! Seems like I forgot to modify after the command includes into the code of the chatbox. Shame on me

I am sorry you'll have to wait for the next release to make that work again.

However, you can use the tick boxes and the remove shouts button in the archives to remove chats so it's not a big problem it can wait till I fix it

[Deimos]

Thanks for the update, the errors are gone
One question for you, or anyone, how do I delete individual chat messages with this new version?
Before I'd click the little arrow and choose "Delete this chat"
The only option I see is to delete all, or delete by username/userid, which is a pain when all I want to do is delete a single chat comment.

Any of you have problem writing "!" and "(" in opera?

[Saint_ago]

I'm getting some delay in chats display.. anyone is having the same problem?
