It worked fine for us! I'd just like to say thank you so much to vbDev for making his chatboxes!!!:up: Our members LOVE them, its the most popular part of our site. And I've made friends with many people around the world because of it!!
I upgraded to the latest version (0.2.0), and everything seems to be working ok, except that the prompt text is in French ("Entrez votre chat >>"). All other phrases are in English (yes, I imported the language file). Any idea why the prompt text remains in French? The correct translation for "mgc_cb_evo_prompt_msg" can be found in the Language Manager but it's not showing up in the chat box.

I think Vbdev change this setting from language to admincp
Go to AdminCp---> MgcChatbox Evo ---> Chats formatting ...
There is under all how to change prompt text...
However also for me the colors are gone... only black and a strange color with "B" tag....
Thank you for the new version but there is still a bug with the hour in the chatbox, it appears "H:i" instead of the hour. The date is correct ^^ and in the archive both date and hour are correct too ^^
Good job ^^
Ok I'll correct it.

I'm using the built in Extract all feature in Vista as I have with All of your zip files...

Hum perhaps a problem of compatibility. I have done the archive with the compress utility of Mac Os X

Good evening vBDev,
I have a problem with the colours.
There are not shown all colours. The same problem exists in the usercp settings.
I know I'll do a correction today

I think you haven't removed the product correctly, are you sure you did remove the MGCChatbox Evo ?
I just attempted an upgrade from 1.2 which seemed to go well, but messages are not appearing when I enter them in the main channel. Private messages and team messages appear to be working properly. When entered in the main channel, the input box goes blank (as it should), but the message never appears. No error messages appear, however. The /announcement command is also not taking. I believe I followed all upgrade instructions, including file upload, overwrite product and command uploading.
I had also been using the page variable with success to insert within other pages. However, with the upgrade these now display the interface box with a perpetual "Loading..." message.
I am using vBulletin 3.6.7, which worked well previously.
UPDATE
There is no General Channel listed in ACP-->MGCChatbox Evo-->Manage Channels. Should there be? I see only the Team Channel and Private Channel.
I think it's the same problem as above, first message don't work.
No the general channel is by default in the chatbox and shall not appear there.

I haven't changed that, it shall still be working.

EDIT: If the option "Show a small prompt message in the chatbox" is on, the problem happens (and the prompt message isn't showed at all). If the option is turned off, works fine...
I would have said the contrary. I encountered it on my side and it's was when prompt message option was disabled.
But each usergroup only has one option. So all the users in that usergroup have to have the same color. Even when you go into User CP, it just comes up with the option for that user group. On the previous version of the chat box, each user could set their own, they weren't limited to what their usergroup was set as.
I don't understand your problem both usercp and admincp options are totally not linked.

Any suggestions ?
This is due to the reported bug with color selector I think.

I have tried to reproduce on my local forum and nothing happens, I can't seem to be able to reproduce it
