I'm having a problem that is probably caused by my stupidity. So I would really like some help with this.

When I click on "Manage Commands" in the admin cp, all the commands are struck through. What causes this?

I thought as much, but where do I enable them? I can't find the option anywhere...

OMG, I told you it was my stupidity... I found the options in the drop downs next to the commands... lol

What I also wanted to say is that the new functions are really cool!!! Well done! Best chat box mod EVER!

[Been Told]

I have another question...
If you add many questions/answers to the bot, does it impact the serverload or anything like that? I'm talking about like 200 questions/answers.

VBDev.. Just wanted to let you know that when you unban people in /ban shows pop-up.. It won't show up in the logs. Possible the unban actions through the pop-up can be logged as well?

Think i found a bug. I can't download the chats that have been logged. The permission to download the logs is Administrator. I'm logged in als an admin, and i checked the permissions of MGC Chatbox Evo.

I should be able to download them, but i get that screen which tells me that i dont have the rights to download it.

Anyone got the same problem?

Yup, having the exact same issue.

I had a problem with notifications being stuck to the top of the chat posts page, despite choosing for them to be "melted" in among the chats. I searched this thread, found a lot of posts about the same problem but no answer. I then selected to stop having notifications included and bang... it listed them among the posts as I had chosen to have them. Did this problem ever get solved ?

Think the support on this mod died

With the chatbox enabled, my page has the following <link> tags that are opened and not closed.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/yui/container/assets/skins/sam/container.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/yui/button/assets/skins/sam/button.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/widget-skin.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/chatbox_tabs.css" type="text/css">

I'd like to add a /> to them so the page would be valid but can't figure out where.
