You are the only one to experience that. Is autocomplete enabled on your forum for the chatbox ?

image names ar

18_cb_gen_channel_sel
18_cb_gen_channel_new
18_cb_gen_channel_nosel

i tried putting the full name and even with just 18_ what am i doing wrong ??

edit: Ive got them in every style folder i have including the image folder

You have to put images in misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels and they must be gif files.

Then on the channel creation page just input 18_cb_gen_channel and that's all.

I have upload/imported the English.xml file, but that does not seem to help at all. Still seeing the same French language.

Anyone else having a hard time changing the language to English?

Only remaining parts are options but you should be editing them so no biggie.

Adding this to the todo list if not already in.

Try editing clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/mgc_cb_evo_functions.js. Search for e.get('firstchild') replace this by e.firstChild.

Yes this is a bug I corrected in the next version.

Well what you pointed out meant that you can import chats from other chatbox. Imagine you have Cyb Chatbox installed or any of the listed ones, then you could move to my chatbox without losing your old chats.

Yes this chatbox has a notification system that warn about new posts/threads (and can do other notifications too in the branding free version).

[kensaurus]

nvm. disabling auto complete didnt work. i just live with the gap then, its ok thanks for the help, you are very efficient

I'm sorry I see a bug list in your very first post but no way to fix them or a hyperlink to a fix.
In the next one admin screen shots. Please where is the fix?

Thanks

Hey VBDev, here' s a suggestion:

A special box for private messages that notifies you of new messages you get from people. , this way people won't miss private messaged.
