This file shall not be in that directory, how have you uploaded files during the install ?? You should have keep the directory tree but seems like you haven't.
You haven't followed correctly the install instructions as I have said to many others in this thread.
You should have removed the chatbox files and then uninstall the product !
Now the only way to fix it is to remove old chatbox files (MGCChatbox not MGCChatbox Evo) and then rebuild bitfields manually by activating debug mode and then clicking on rebuild bitfields in the admincp.
the /me command, how can I get so that it works in more than 1 channel?
Second question:
How can you get the 2nd channel use the same colour text as the general channel, without having to use the BBCODE function when posting all of the time?
This file shall not be in that directory, how have you uploaded files during the install ?? You should have keep the directory tree but seems like you haven't.
I thought that I was following your instructions correctly, very new to this stuff. I had posted earlier in this thread and asked questions and was told not to have in separate folders within the folders that the files were to be in. Can you pm me please, because I really want this working correctly.
In AdminCP > Manage Channels > Information on the Channel >
If editing, say, the Team Channel:
In 'Name of the channel image':
just enter: mgc_cb_evo_team without the _nosel_nosel_.
VBDev mentions this in his command install instructions.
