<i>"Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories."</i>

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.

Well I can't debug if I don't have a db error log. Ask your webhost, there must be logs somewhere.

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.
