I agree if a word is detected within a sentance the bot should answer to the word which would be listed eithin the bot to reply too rather than an exact sentance.

Love this mod too :-) and is running and working as it should.

Hmmm. I have a problem with my ChatBox:

When I load page I see "Loading..." message and nothing else.

If I write message or click refresh link on chat all work.

What`s wrong?

Same thing happens for me.. i have checked the settings and it says Activate on load: Yes

and Auto Refresh: Yes

But still it just sits there loading and you have to press refresh for it to actually work, this is causing problems as my members are use to it loading straight off and now they think its not working..

IS there something ive missed? (Since upgrade)

In my defense, if it's not too late for that lol, is that last time I didn't have to redo all the usergroup permissions for it. I don't know why. So for that reason, I didn't know that it added that info to the Usergroup Manager. Homer Simpsons sums me up here pretty nicely.

Read above. AdminCP > Users > Usergroup Manager

For me, it's the third to last set of options all the way at the bottom of said page.

i have found a strange behavior of 2.4.2 version

i have updated from 2.3.2 version and i have vbulletin integrated with Vbadvanced

the first picture attached show the "old" layout of my forum (2.3.2 and default style), with side columns of vbadvanced just to the side of MGC chat

the second piture attached show the new layout (v. 2.4.2) ... now the chatbox fill all the screen space horizontally, and the side columns of vbadvanced are instead below the chat

same happen if i use skin with fixed width, and same if i reduce the 100% width of chat box (white space appears on the sides)

..any suggest how to solve?

I installed MGC Chatbox on my fresh installed vB 3.8.4 and when a friend of mine tries to login, he gets this message after the login.

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing

I tried it on my PC (cleared Cache, cookies, restarted PC several times) and on that of my gf, we dont have that problem. Why is that ?

Its template problem, you will need to insert hook.

Check it here: http://christianwebmastersunion.com/...rity-Token-Fix

Its problem with templates not with chatbox it self.
I know on my old template users received that error if they use quick search from drop down and in some other cases too.
