If you try changing the chatbox preset while chatting in the chatbox on another page its normal.
In this new version the user formatting choice are saved upon each chat as long requested. So if you are chatting in one page and modifying the usercp settings on another page it won't be saved
OK thanks, tried logging out and back in, changing options and whilst it saves the setting for the period I am in the usercp (doesn't show in the chat though), on leaving usercp and returning, the settings have reverted to default.
Not the end of the world, but did like the different colours and styles for different users.
Edit. Sorted, had to go to a page on which I had no chatbox showing, then go into usercp and set the options.
I follow all the rules for the upgrade from the previous version but the "loading and loading and loading again and again" problem is still there..
And now there's a new problem. When I click on the "expand/collapse" arrow, when the chatbox is collapsed I don't see the chats anymore.
Quick question...With the channels I have the option to notify if there is a new message (not with audio) but the icons don't seen to change? I thought they were supposed to blink or something...or I thought they used to? Or am I crazy?
I would have posted over at forumcoding but it seems to be down
2 templates needed reverting which was carried out and the usernames still dont work. If I run the script /mgc_cb_evo.php?do=update_before_2.3.0 the usernames show up for old chats but they dont show for new chats.
Regards

I already said that, I did it... I took the menu_open.gif from an other skin and put it in the skins /misc/ directory
Who makes your skin, is it Vbskinworks? and what is your misc directory (in your admincp)? is it something like {1}misc if so ranger187 has a fix in this thread somewhere. It's older but I remember reading the same issue...
