Well I'll be damned. I know the site is back up. Maybe ask over there? I thought that was fixed.

Now I'm wondering, how do I get rid of the branding (the text on the bottom of the box)

I knew it was something like that haha

You can buy the branding free at http://www.forumcoding.com/

There is also some notes on it in the first post

Same,
http://url_of_your_admincp/mgc_cb_ev...e_before_2.3.0

Resolved the issue, was a little bit confusing though. Why not make this auto run as part of the 2.3.0 product file?

[KizZamP-]

I also noticed that I'm not able to click on an URL to open it.

So if somebody posts an URL and I click on it, it does nothing. If I double click, it makes it able to edit it...

Can this be fixed?

[adnedarn]

Make sure you have "Activate the BBCODE URL" in "Chats formatting and sending" within the admin control panel set to yes.

Zip updated.

Those of you that already installed it just import the product inside the archive. It fixes the notifications database error.
