Format the mac, problem solved.

Bug found. You are unable to use " in a private message to someone through the chat box. When you do so, the message won't send.

I added this to my file as required "var SECURITYTOKEN = "0";"
and I still get the missing security token message...

I am running vb 3.7.4 patch level 1 and have also tried "var SECURITYTOKEN = 0;" which someone else suggested. We also only use one skin.

This is a fresh install of the chatbox as I uninstalled the old version.

I would really like to get this working soon.

Oh oh damned

How did you experienced that ? By entering the whole command syntax or in a different way ?

With vB3.7.4 DO NOT put the var securitytoken thing !!! This for earlier version not your version of vB as stated in the readme.

Thanks for the feed back, However I only put the "var SECURITYTOKEN="0"" in because we got the message that the security token was missing...

I have taken it out again, per your message and we still get the exact same message that we are missing the security token. Anything else I can try?

You can try :

1. Check that you have uploaded all the new files
2. Refresh your cache

I uninstalled and removed every mgc file I could find and then did a complete reinstall ensuring that every file in the files folder was coppied tothe forumns directory. I moved all of the images to the standard images folder as well as my greenskin images folder.

I still get the missing security token message when I try to post in the chat box...

Any other ideas?

Try using firefox and pull up the error console and see what errors it gives. You shouldn't be using that Var token key.
