It wont show at all on my skin when using $mgc_cb_evo_var. Any ideas to get it to show? I have tried inserting this into forumhome with the automation turned off but no luck and also within a new template and nothing.

Thanks

How do I go about changing the MGC Chatbox Evo title? I tried to find that the other day with no luck.

It's in the general option of the chatbox.

Well thanks for the encouragement ! I will be fixing this before the end of the month.

About the copyright I would like to makes you remember that this is not just a copyright removal version !!!
The BF package include and will includes other addons like notifications and so on !! As well as button set.

Man I really need to read more. I didn't see the branding free purchase link in this thread and I didn't see the title changing option in general options.

I must apologize for my previous negative posts.

Going to purchase the branding free version once I recoup from buying a template.

It is worth either the copyright or the $20. I think it's a small price to pay for this to be honest. I think you're being greedy asking for something like this for nothing!

That is your opinion and i have my own which is not going to change.

This is like any other shoutbox you tell me what features MGC has that the others don't? and they are without copyright.

[Harley D]

Well I for one understand what is to work my butt off for others for nothing, only to have a few cry about something trivial yet well deserved in such a disrespectful manor.

I will be paying the $20.00 and will KEEP the branding/copyright just to counteract such opinions and to keep MGC motivated in his efforts to provide a great piece of code for FREE!

Thank You MGC!

Hey VB, one of my users on the forums is unable to switch "Show the chatbox:" in his userCP to "yes", when he attempts to do so, it automatic switches back to no. Any idea what's going on? I checked his usergroup and chatbox settings, and they are fine. No one on his usergroup is having the issue.

Well I don't want to show off but just get through the options and you will see...

The number of options, features, and possibility of customization are way more important and you have the ability to create channels...

Just think at the number of hours passed on the mod and you perhaps would understand.

Anyway It's your opinion and I respect it of course ! Peace man

He's using same style as other users ?

Have you tried loging-in as him and test ?

How does this mod compare to Flashchat? Flashchat is a use bane on server resources.

Was that English? Use bane on a server? Flashchat uses more if you are not using the ajax version.

This uses ajax so you shouldn't notice any performance issues.
