Read the readme in the zip. I explained how to do this. If it's anything above that, we'll need to troubleshoot it.

Use Firefox or IE and post the errors it loads upon a first load of the page. Meaning, close whatever browser, open it up, load the error console (google it if you don't know how) then load your page and post the errors.

Thanks. It seems it may be call to the google ajax (dojo)... seems to be working now. In firebug it was showing that the call was timing out...

[Ranger187]

Sounds to me more like the server it was sitting on maybe had a server throttle/network issue maybe? I know Google almost never ever ever ever ever EVER EVER times out.

Glad it's resolved!

Also, on the VBSEO is it this mod or the one you buy?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=253516

and if so, where do I put this as per your readme:

'mgc_cb_evo\.php$' => 'chatbox.html'
'mgc_cb_evo\.php\?do=view_chatbox$' => 'chatbox.html'
'mgc_cb_evo\.php\?do=view_archives&page=(\d+)' => 'chatbox/archiv/page-$1.html'
'mgc_cb_evo\.php\?do=view_archives$' => 'chatbox/archiv/page-1/'

I think VBDev put that part in, which was donated code from a subscriber. It's outside of this product, but I'm sure if you can't get an answer here, ask one of the SEO's what syntax to use.

Then head over to the forums if you can't get any results:

If nobody else is replying, it's because nobody else has that issue.

Check your server usage. And network reports. Before you point fingers, look at the source first.
