How do I get the chatbox working in vbadvanced and in photopost?
I see in my error logs that the file mgc_cb_evo.php is being called, but not reached. This seems to be because the url is not complete when its called from pages outside my forum directory. Where / how can I resolve this?
We can't seem to get the textarea to change size. We're trying Chats formatting > Textarea type editor: Width/Height but no matter what we put in, it still doesn't get bigger.
Has anyone use google chrome to browse your forum home which have Chatbox installed? My chrome alert me i'm browsing forum linking with an malware site ??? After disable Chatbox it's fine.
Seems like the files are missing. Are you sure you correctly uploaded them ?

Well I don't have the time to provide you with a way to do that sorry. You'll have to try on your own.
I'll try to make a "tutorial" for the next version of the chatbox on how to place manually the chatbox on pages like forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread. For the other pages, chatbox can be in a variable so that lets you do what you try to.
