Well I use google chrome and don't get that issue.
Does it give you more information on the "malware site" stuff ?
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.
Do you want to keep the textbox there?
Because if you relocated it under the chatbox (or above it), resizing it should work.
Can you try this in the mean time?
EDIT:
Heh, I forgot to refresh the page. VBDev beated me to it.
It's working for me. What's exactly not showing ? Which vB version ?
When I click on "More" then click a window opens with the rest of the emoticons and if you click on nothing happens there, the smilies do not go into the box clean.
In IE "errors on the page" Showing ..
vBulletin Version 4.0.3

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.
ok I'll try it

Captainslater is going to update the language file
I've managed to fix the alignment problems for vbadvanced. If your chatbox module has a linebreak above it which shouldn't be there, just go to your mgc_cb_evo.css template and change:
PHP Code:
.mgc_cb_evo_block { margin-top:1em;
to:
PHP Code:
.mgc_cb_evo_block { margin-top:auto;
It's nothing to do with the display management plugin!
