Not sure what could be the problem with this, but while 99.9% of this is working, entering the show bans code doesn't open the window, and all moderators have said the same and have the allowed permissions...
Question: Is it possible to add a per-user functionality to determine where the chatbox displays? For instance: in the UserCP, there is the option to disable the chatbox on a per-user basis, as well as to govern it's formatting. What I'd like to do is allow my users to determine whether the chatbox displays above threads, above forums, or just on the forumhome, on a per-user basis, by the same sort of settings.
I'm not the developer. Just giving my thoughts. I just do most of the help if I can.
That's a great idea, and I think that's something he could/would add to a future release just not right now. It's just a lot to change around because right now the admin chooses where it's displayed. But I think that's a good suggestion.

What forum version are you running (I don't think this matters much), have you tried in other browsers on other computers?

That's really weird. It seems like it's CSS/DHTML formatting. Have you tried all the browsers to see if it's consistant in them all?

Not sure. Could be just a few things. Can you PM me info so I can check it?
The requested URL /mgc_cb_evo.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
It's not fully or correctly installed. Archives = 404.
I pasted the code given by you in my vbseo custom rewrite rules box but still it didnt work
I am not the author of this code sorry. A chatbox user here gave it to me.
I don't know vBSeo custom rules at all so I can't be of any help sorry.

That's an interesting suggestion ! I am putting it in the todo list.
This won't be in the release I am gonna release this month but perhaps in the one of July.

This is perhaps a problem with a difference of CSS interpreter in the different browser.
Is this really a problem ?
VBDev, to explain my second bug better.. If you add a new usergroup and you set them so they can ban people with the ban plugin. You are getting those errors I have shown you. They seem not to have the rights to use /show ban command at all, they get "you don't have access" page, etc.
Also, is there a way you can remove ALL chats with a single button? It took me 20min to remove over 2000 lines of chats.
