Why are some of my phrases still in french... I tried the instruction twice. Some of it is in english but the admin cp options are in french and in the fourm, when my pointer hovers over the image it shows a french phrase.... Really confusing..

edit also i am missing the buttons on the left side of the chat box. In addition is their a tutorial for this.

Also where does it tell how to make channels. I might be becasue i am missing some buttons. Also user note.. I changed the directory of adminCP so i manually uploaded files to correct folder. Would this affect my install at all.

Thanks..

VBDev - Any plan to make a CDP Plugin for your chat client to integrate with VBxperience? Perhaps points for each chat? Theres detailed instructions on writing the plugins included with Vbex but I'm not so much a php developer.

Thx.

Check the readme bro. It tells you what to do. You probably didn't go through the usergroup settings and give others permission to it. Check them again.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where to stick the the "$mgc_cb_evo_postbit" in the postbit and postbit legacy with any result that shows up. Can I please get a code example from anyone where you have this line at?
