Yes I have checked and I think that you haven't uploaded the mgc_cb_evo.php file in your forum root directory (which forums for you).

Great job you?ve done! Respekt for that!
Mate, is it possible to add an social groups integration?
Like all social groups can have their own chat, where only the members of a social group can chat.

I'm pretty sure he's going to say that's outside of the chat function.

Flashchat might be better suited for that.

Otherwise use the group chat function.

FYI: When I upgraded to vB3.8.0 Beta 1 both my General and Team channel were purged/wiped clean. The chatbox still 'works' but previous chat prior to the upgrade will be lost.
