With the 1.0 version ?

No, with one previous version. I'm not using the latest one as it has some issues that may be quite annoying at times for the users.

I think you should edit the mgc_cb_evo template.

Yeah but I don't have any board online. I think I did fixed it by the small correction.

Hum ?! The chatbox doesn't has anything to do with the js/downloader.agent virus.

I don't think the chatbox is causing that at all.

This virus is a downloader trojan inside a javascript file. But there ain't such thing in my mod... I think you have been infected by something else.
