I'd have to sign up to see, I'm saying check the usergroup permissions... It's probably that.

I really don't understand what the big deal is with the copyright?

I have gone to the ADMINCP, Usergroups, Usergroup Manager, Administrators, MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions, and have all but one checked YES.

But still no joy.

[Ranger187]

Then enable it in the chatbox options.

You mean this:

Activate the who is in the chatbox display
Warning : This functionnality add server load (Add of 1 sql query on the chatbox load and chats sending).

Yes

I wish the resolution was that easy.

Any other thoughts? File to check?

[Ranger187]

Gimme sec. I'll check mine.

MGC > Advanced Options (I'm using 2.0.2)

Activate the who is in the chatbox display
Warning : This functionnality add server load (Add of 1 sql query on the chatbox load and chats sending).
Yes

Show online users list in a tab
Rather tan displaying the list continuously under the chatbox, users would have access to it by a simple click on a button.
No

That's the settings I use.

That's the settings I use.

Thanks, That is an option, but not a permanent fix.
It use to work when I had the older version installed.

Let me do some more checking...

[SnapOff Racing]

I just checked to see if my "Who is in the chatbox display" was working and mine is working fine as well. Might wanna just make sure you uploaded everything. The who is in the chatbox display will show up under the chatbox just so you know.

Just in there:
