I'm pretty sure that's a paid add-on.

Reinstall the chat again. Meaning upload all the files again, install, then FOLLOW the directions on how to remove it step by step and that should resolve it.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/vaoutdoo/public_html/mgc_cb_evo.php(634) : eval()'d code on line 1

Hello. I have been using the chat box for a while now, it works great and I am very happy with it.

One question though, the site speed where the chat box is viewable is certainly slower, are there any tips to improve the load speed?
