Well I went as far to backup my drive & reformat thinking my something on my computer got seriously messed up. I have tried everything and it's still doing the same thing. So I'm starting to think it's the script itself. Cause on I.E. it saying there is an Ajax error.

On IE, the javascript problem is not a real problem. You have a link to the fix in the first post of the thread.

I have looked at your forum and I can see the chats while not loggedin.

Hello. I have a little problem with channel management. I am unable to display a channel icon on the left of the channel.
I have uploaded an image to the images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels folder and entered the name of that image in the box Name of the channel image in the AdminCP (with no extension as it says).
Whatever i do, that image don't want to dispaly. Only the name of a channel is seen. I even tried to upload the image to /images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/ folder. Change the name of the image to mgc_cb_evo_(name).gif and still nothing.

Please advise.

[adnedarn]

MAK-upl - This is what's in my name of channel field and it works... mgc_cb_evo_tteam then you need 3 images for it in the channels folder... mgc_cb_evo_team_new.gif, mgc_cb_evo_team_nosel.gif, mgc_cb_evo_team_sel.gif

Andrew

edit: maybe it's mgc_cb_evo_team (with one T) for you I may have changed my images names

Hmm, the chat import from MGC Chatbox 1.5 doesn't work - I've a table prefix and there is no error about, only the successfully message, but no chat item were imported from the prefix_mgc_chatbox table.

[MAK-upl]

adnedarn... so you say i need to name my image with the same name as my channel? And i need to make 3 images for it??

So, from what you say:
My channel is called SoftMania, than i need to name my images: (?)
mgc_cb_evo_softmania_new.gif
mgc_cb_evo_softmania_nosel.gif
mgc_cb_evo_softmania_sel.gif
And than upload them into images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels?

Correct me if i am wrong. It's a little bit strange.

[adnedarn]

MAK-upl- You name the channel whatever you want. Then in that *Name of the channel image* space you enter *mgc_cb_evo_team* but replace the "team" part with whatever you name the images... for the sake of being easy... in the folder you download there is a channel_icons folder with a set of icons for team (you'll see team in each of the 3 file names).. upload those into your channels folder on your server and set the name of the channel image to what I have above. Each of the 3 images is for something different.. the _new flashes. the _nosel is a faded image and _sel is a normal icon. You'll see what i'm talking about when you look at them. You can look at those 3 images and see what you need to do to make your own if you would like.... I just use the team icons for the second channel cause they were provided
