I had a problem with even extracting the files from the zip, you had blank files with the same name as the folders in the download which caused it to be nearly impossible to open. To the author; now I've fixed that for myself, do you want a version of the mod download without this problem to attach to this topic instead?
Sorry, but I'll have to say that's user error. Considering I've downloaded it since day 1 and about 200 times from here alone......
I fixed it though. And now another problem, except only in the archive. It says 'Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 136'

Again, you probably had a bad download.....reinstall.
I'm sorry, but it's always a corrupt download, and only for the latest version. Every time, same thing. Open the zip file without extracting it, same thing. Stop always assuming user error, it's the biggest criticism I have of programmers in general, they can't accept they made a mistake in coding something rather than assuming everyone else screwed up.
Extracted with 7zip now, still doesn't help with the errors on the archive page. Some templates that have been edited when I used the last version have been reverted, but that also didn't work.
Sorry to but in here guys but I'm a newbie, I've installed the chatbox - all good except it's stuck on loading and I get a security token missing error. So do all of my user groups, in all browser types. Any ideas? There are a few potential advanced looking fixes in this thread - i don't want to break anything. Any concrete fixes for these issues?
