I unistall it and now i'm running into more serious problem. I cannot edit any usergroup since ine the usergroup manager > the MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions are still there andi cannot do any edit.
I will appreciate any help resolving this issue and removing the MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions from the usergroups manager.
Never Mind guys I deleted all the files and it's ok now.
Thanks

How To Change The Lang. From French To Eng

thanks for the update but theres still some frenchlanguage when example Supprimer le chat when i right click the profileon eachchats asnd on admin control panel Gestion du bot
yes i did upload the english file included and yes i ignored and overwrote

btw seems the avatar is gone on sb :S

[Sador]

There are a view lines in French that will remain no matter how often you try to use the patch. For example, the /slap code will still be in French after installing the English patch.

Those few lines can be changed through the chatbox options in your admin CP though, just check all chat options one by one and changes them into whatever you want.

[maidos]

on admincp edit channel almost everthing there is french too...
did that and it still doesnt work

[Sador]

Have you overwritten every language on your board with the English patch? (so, if you have an English language and a German one, for example, you need to both overwrite the English language with the patch like I explained, and after that, you need to do the same thing to the German language)

I'm willing to try it for you, if you'd like.

[maidos]

board is english and yes i made sure to overwrite and ignore the version
but the main concern is the avatars not appearingon sb... i tried to set the right path on class_formatting but doesnt do much
