I could also not uninstall this properly. It leaves a template change in the Admincp and you get errors everytime you change user group permissions.
This is BETA software and I wouldnt recommend anybody install it unless you like messing things up.
ive installed this and uninstalled this about 4 times and havent had any errors only thing that is rong with mine now is i cant type ? and % and now and then it dubble posts my sentince so can someone with a brittish keyboard try ? and % out or is it just me thats getting this prob
LOL I swear give me something impossible to fix and I can fix it. But something small and I'll be pulling my hair out haha. Thanks man worked perfect :up:
I just upgraded to 1.1.0 from... hrm, I guess it was .3.0. (I know, I've been busy too.) I've done a fresh install removing the old chat first. Nothing typed goes into the chatbox. They are showing up in the archives, but the chat area is blank. Did I maybe skip a step somewhere? Thanks.
I am having this same problem where the chatbox doesn't show new messages (Messages are only shown in the archives), is there a solution?
Also my admin options are in french. I have uploaded the lang file. ?

Is this beta software?
Nope, it's not beta at all. It's just the bugs you run into when you have hundreds, maybe thousands of different forums each with it's own peculiarities.
I deleted ALL files I uploaded
I uninstall the product
then under usergroup permissions the EVO chat box option is STILL there and I get an error when I try to save these options.
I then went a step further,
I deleted the tables associated with this program. STILL errors.
THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE BEWARE>>> I HAVE WASTED 3 hours of my time deleting and restoring forums.. INSTALLER BEWARE..
Why do you keep saying this is BETA software? Do you even know what that means? BETA means that a product is still in development. Just because one person, meaning you, can't get it to work, doesn't have anything to do with it being BETA or that other users have to beware. All forums are different, and any number of unrelated issues could be creating your problem. I'm sorry, but 3 hours is just not enough dev time to cry beware. Fixing bugs unique to your forum can take weeks, even months if you don't know what to look for.
