I don't really want to install if I don't want them. I know the question mark is to tell you about the commands, but I don't want to install it without knowing what they do. Can someone please just tell me what they do?
for those having problems with images, i had this issue but i worked it out in my case any how u just can't drop in a gif called "support.gif" it won't work, you need to drop in the gif twice into the channel folder.
mgc_cb_evo_sup_sel
mgc_cb_evo_sup_nosel
The sup for me indicated which channel it was for in my case support, adjust to whatever your rooms/images are called.
I have 5 channels setup and it now replaces flashchat
I have a question. Do I download one of the vB3.6.x-vB3.7.x]MGC_Chatbox_Evo_0.0.0.zip verisons or all of them. and then so I have to download the MGCChatbox Evo for vBadvanced CMPS afterwards?
everytime I activate this my site starts throwing database errors like crazy. not solid db errors like it shuts off but throughout the day ill get about 100+
I have also tried limiting to a usergroup of about 15 people and it still does it.
anyone else having this problem or experienced and could offer tips?
Thanks!

1) Only one of file is enough. (the latest one is recommended)
2) And, if you are using Vbadvanced at your forum and wish to show chatbox with related Vbadvanced pages then you have to install "MGCChatbox Evo for vBadvanced CMPS" also

Thanks, i wasnt for sure since they all had a different file size.

Yup this is due to the select. And if you have the blinking option too you have to add an image mgc_cb_evo_sup_new.
