Well seems like the chatbox didn't install correcty (as per the error).

The iswarning field shall have been created in the mgc_cb_evo chat table upon chatbox install.

Are you sure it's up to the right version in product system ?

Started out great as a free mod now the developer is getting to greedy asking for $20.00 to remove the copyright when everyone who uses VB knows what shoutbox it is.

LOL have fun with that! Cyb has some good hacks but that DEFINITELY isn't one of them.

MGC Chatbox > ANY OTHER CHATBOX BY FAR!!!!

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!

My installed product list displays:
MGC chatbox Evo version 2.1.0. It does not display what the latest version available is.
I use different table prefixes. (vb3_ ) Can that be the problem?

[VBDev]

Can you check in your database and tell me in the mgc_cb_evo_chat table if there is a iswarning field ?

[Alfa1]

yes, there is.
