I have a strange problem... When the popup appears there isn't the OK button to close the popup. Every popup has this problem, both due to flood and due to empty chat etc..

Here is a screenshot of the problem.. I have already tried to reinstall it, but it is the same and I tried to install previuos versione like 2.3.2 and 2.4.1.. Same problem..

How can I fix it?

Hello
I have the following problem with the chatbox 2.4.2

I sucked and how the addon already downloaded all the data via ftp from the server.
Then I installed the add-ons.
Now I get the following error message:

I know what you mean! I'm attempting to make it work myself.

I have a little problem, Since recently (I think today, I have no clue what happened to make it change) I am receiving the warning

"Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php on line 420"

All I know is that this error occurs when you join certain usergroups and for each usergroup I join that has this problem, I get a line of this same error.

The code in class_misc.php around line 420 is:
// 2 - Member group test
if (!$hasaccess && !empty($this->registry->userinfo['membergroupids']))
{
$found = 0;
$ugipds_array = explode(',', $this->registry->userinfo['membergroupids']);
foreach ($ugipds_array as $index => $ugpid)
{
if (in_array($ugpid,$command['usergroupids']))
{
$hasaccess = 1;
}
}
}

And more specificly, line 420 is:

if (in_array($ugpid,$command['usergroupids']))

I realize that this error is caused by a modification (the chatbox), But even so, I hope you will be able to help me because I don't want to install a different chatbox nor do I want to remove my usergroups.

This error appears to only occur for people who are in a custom usergroup.
And it appears to be only on the index page (Within forums or topic pages, I don't get this error)

Thanks for your time
