I managed to get it to display as a variable on pages by importing the product, language and commands repeatedly. Strange. However, it displays it with the perpetual "Loading ..." notice. If you enter a line, it jumps to the full page variant and the line displays. It works well within the forum, archive and full page areas.

Have had to uninstall and go back to a working chat (cyb) because after upgrade whenever anybody enters a chat then press enter, the page navigates automatically to the chat full page, and the actual chat gets lost in the ether
Must have spent over an hour this morning trying to fix, then I tried totally uninstalling then re-installing, still not working. So, binned!

The only thing that could lead to such problems is a problem of templates not reverted or javascript files not present.

Do you have somethg particular on your forum ?

The vBadvanced CMPS portal page and a separate custom page. This worked flawlessly on the previous versions. I am not interested in the available module, as it is limited by the center column width in lieu of being full page width. You can experience the problem by proceeding to my homepage (see signature).

2.0 zip file still doesn't seem to work.. When I unzip it it says file/folder already exists. I end up with the proper directory structure, but no files.

There used to be multiple colors for people to pick from. Our users really loved it, and it was easy to tell who you were talking to!! We all got used to certain colors from certain people.

If I'm doing something wrong here, please let me know!!!

Which previous version were you using before upgrading to the new chatbox version ?

If it was the version before I made changes for it to work for everyone on vBadvanced then that might be due to those changes.
