I think I get the same problem as reported here. The chat window is displayed but gets stuck with the 'Loading...' prompt. If you try to post a chat, it goes to another page with a 'Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing' message.
We are using vBulletin 3.1.9 and MGCChatbox Evo 3.2.1
Templates have minor modification, but only so far as changing site logo and removing the 'What going on' box. I tried reverting the changes, but it did not help.
I have checked the Diagnostics -> Problematic Webserver Modules section, but it shows no issue against mod_security (mod_security, AJAX Unicode Issue, No).
I have also tried clearing the vBulletin cache, but it does not help.
Has anybody else come across this problem or have any advice as to what to try next?
Any advice is appreciated. Many thanks...

You'd have to configure it to stop on errors.
And see if you get one. Otherwise I could do it for you if you give me a test account on your forum by PM.
Thanks for the advice. I tried Firebug as you suggested and it highlighted that it couldn't open a number of the javascript files in the mgc_cb_evo/clientscripts folder. I think the files got 700 permissions when I extracted them to my laptop prior to upload. chmod'ed 755 the files and everything is working perfectly now.
Still get this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NS_SEPARATOR in /public_html/forum/index.php(598) : eval()'d code on line 536
I reported it in the beta period, but either its not fixed, or I am doing something wrong. Ioncube is turned on.
I noticed that there are no files in the clientscript folder, while previously there was a lot of files in clientscript. Is this correct?
Until further notice I am reverting to version 3 again.
@Alfa1 : I answered you during the beta, was asking for access to your server to debug but you never answered. Haven't been able to reproduce that bug
Regarding clientscript yes no more files there all files are now in mgc_cb_evo/clientscript.
