Now, you've added the Quote BBCode to the features. Can you add the Code BBCode too, please? Would be very cool to have the same BBCodes from vB in the Chatbox.
Well the problem with those two bbcode is that there are so so ugly when displayed in the chatbox...
I am adding them but I won't provide any modifications of the way their display is built.
I will be adding quote along with code then.
Why I am not having the same bbcodes from vB in the chatbox is because I want users to independentely activate bbcodes. And honestly some bbcode have nothing to do in the chatbox... (Like quote or code...)

Awesome mod! Thx.
Refresh your page no remaining english shall be there.
It is counting our total posts in the archives not what was in the last 24hrs... I'm still hoping you will think about lessening the time frame though It would allow for better flood/spam control for those of us that want to limit that.
Thanks!

Hi! First, let me say thank you for this great shoutbox - very nice work!
I have a question though..
I have width set to 100%, but the message box never fills the screen (I have tried 150% etc, and although the width increases, only the same percentage is available for use)
I have attached a screenshot.
VB 3.8.1, MGC v2.1.0 - same in FF and IE7.
Any suggestions to make the box fill the page would be appreciated!
Are your templates all fixed or normal ones? Fixed always stay the same width. Is this your first install for the chat, or did you have have it and do an upgrade to either the chat or vbulletin?
Not sure if this bug listed is what you have (which is already fixed for next release): Forum left to right align not taken into account. Scroll up top and you'll see the list.
But I'm sure VBdev knows more.....time to eat.....
I have a same problem, and not just that characters.... ALL special characters not showing, and after that I must refresh page to send any other message.... Characters not shown (some of them): ?Đ?ČĆ?đ?čć and NOT working with ? and %... maybee some others....
Any idea? Where can be a problem.... All charachters (?Đ?ČĆ?đ?čć) working on forum posts with no problem....
Thanks in advance, and congratulations for this GREAT mod.
I have the same problem. My forum is using UTF-8 character encoding, but all "special" characters are not displaying in MGC Chatbox Evo...
