And more notifications plugins to come in the future

As well as certainly a caching system feature only available in BF version (faster performances)

Replace it by :

Are you sure about this VBDev? Because looking thru my older versions of MGC they use the "$vbulletin->db->escape_string" syntax on the ctext line and NOT the name line... See picture below....

I just bought the branding free version for the promise of a caching system alone.

Thanks for the great product.

Oh ok, does this go for ALL of the chat imports or just the ones you specified?

In the firefox error console I'm getting a number of errors. If I turn off all plugins errors go away, but if I enable just this plugin the errors come back.

Errors are as follows:

Code:

Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'width'.  Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://www.myforum.com/forum/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/widget-skin.css
Line: 9

Code:

Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'margin-left'.  Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://www.myforum.com/forum/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/widget-skin.css
Line: 14

Code:

 Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'filter'.  Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://www.myforum.com/forum/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/widget-skin.css
Line: 24

And then a number of these:

Code:

Warning: Expected declaration but found '*'.  Skipped to next declaration.
Source File: http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?2.6.0/build/container/assets/skins/sam/container.css&2.6.0/build/button/assets/skins/sam/button.css

I'm using 2.2.1 and I have vbulletin 3.8.1.
