@ellinofatsa I don't think you can have a different language other than the default of your board.
You can import another language file (the same as your board default) but I don't think there is a Greek language available for this mod.
Perhaps you can request a language update from VBDev? Ask for Greek.xml

[ellinofatsa]

VBDev is that inposible this mod in GreeK.xml ??

@ legacy123 there has been no change to the VBadvanced module and it won't work in VBA4. I have the chatbox loaded in the forum only.

[Halfhidden]

@legacy123 if you want the chatbox to be in your Photopost gallery, forum and homepage just like it use to be with the VBadvanced module you can still do it by going to your admincp> MGC Chatbox Evo : Display and Position on the forum> Display on defined pages of the forum under the navbar> set this to yes and the chatbox will be available to your entire site

Hi,

The greek language is possible. But you're gonna have to find someone that can translate it for you.

Edit: Still does not work on PC and i do have the sound settings turned on

So, why you not replace:

/mgc_cb_evo/clientscript/sound/new_chat.swf

with

/mgc_cb_evo/clientscript/sound/new_chat.mp3

and upload new_chat.mp3 file on that location? I think this must "work"

Cheeers
