Please search the thread there are few pages for the moment and some user have also asked about that.

This is misreading of the readme instructions.

My Vbulletin server and DB server are different machines, maybe there is an issue with this configuration. My support says that the two servers has the same date and time, and they're synched.

Looks like the chatbox is using the user's pc date and time, not the server one.

My folder was also named this way. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hum that might be linked with the current date problem.

I'll have a look at that issue.
