One more request:
In vBulletin you can choose whether to use Google or Yahoo for Use Remote YUI option. Not sure if this mod automatically defaults to that VB selection or if it only uses Yahoo.
Well files are either retrieved from yahoo or your local server.
It's not taking into account vB parameter but own chatbox parameters.

How do I issue commands? I have all of the commands enabled but when I enter them into the chat, they show up exactly as I type them. /me shows up as "/me" etc.

You have HELP and there is exsamples... First, you need to ENABLE this commands!
For ME - just type
[high]* exyuteam SOME TEXT[/high]
and text will show - * YOUR_USERNAME Some Text
For SLAP it goes like this: /slap uname USER_NAME or /slap uid 12345 (if user ID = 12345 !!!!!)
and text will show like you defined in Command options....
Just click on HELP ....
OR
click on arrows left from username and select desired action

I figured it out. When I got to MGCChatbox Evo > Manage Commands I didn't realize that I needed to hit the GO button with "Quickly edit command permissions" selected. Doh! I just thought that dropdown enabled and disabled the commands. Now that I found the checkboxes, it makes total sense.
After upgrading to vbb3.81 the chatbox is acting kinda strange.
Let me point out that i've never had any problems before.
- sometimes onLoad it just sits there "loading" .. 5 mins later everything is fine.
- "commands autocompletion" doesnt work anymore in 3.81
- -> tried OFF -> SAVE -> ON to reset (along with all other setting) .. no luck
