Yeah thanks, I've checked that out.

I mean the following situation. Someone types: Its boring here or just boring and the bot answer to that question is set to *boring so that the bot answers to both shouts, without having the exact question in the database.

[Skyrider]

No IMO it's better if everyone got info from the bot.

It is indeed good if everyone got the information, but it won't be good if people spam up the command and the bot answers the question all the time. This will spam up the chat box. That's why I would highly recommend that the bot is able to private message as well. Sure, leave the public chat as default, but the private messages as an option for people who prefer this.

It's only you !

You sure? Try to enable a command, but don't add any users in the list. So leave it empty. If you do so, it should stuck in "loading ...".


Also:
When I attempted to approve a post, I received this error message in the AdminCP:

Fatal error: Call to a member function authorize_user_newthread_newpost_notif() on a non-object in xxxx/includes/mgc_cb_evo/plugins.php on line 370

^ I only received this error just once though, the second time it approved nicely, but would be good if I reported this.

Also, the "merge" of notifications with the chat doesn't work as it should, here's an example:

See the "latest reply" chat? That's my last chat reply I made and no one has made a reply within any thread at that time. When ever I type a new chat, it appears above the new thread replies and doesn't show at the bottom. It's like the chat box is at the top, and the new thread/replies at the bottom.

I install the product and i activate the option, created the channel, permession granted, but still can't find it any where

[Ghostly24]

In the picture, the arrow points to the Chatbox that's in blue. I want to change this color to a different blue. How and where do I do this?

Also, how do I change the avatar .jpg to .gif?

Reply to:

FF|Skyrider - Ghostly24, I know i'm not the thread owner nor a mod. But is it possible you can change the IMG url in a normal URL? It's kinda stretching the whole thread.

Fixed.

Checked your usergroup settings that your usergroup is allowed to view & use the chatbox?

I see a few posts went by but I didnt want to get lost in the mix, I am pretty confused on how to get our site fixed after upgrading to the latest patch on 2.4.1

I just was wondering if anyone can please help with these errors below. SORRY

I was working fine on my VBadvanced and on the forums fine. Now I cannot get my site to load when i run it on vbadvanced even when i reinstalled the module. I get the error below

Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_view_mgc_cb_evo() in /home/diyproj/public_html/modules/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 3

I tried to look that up but there is nothing in that file relating on line 3.

I try to also run it on the main forums and get this error repeated 6 times above the header.

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php on line 412

Please can someone try to help me out. The last version was running fine but this is what i get for trying to fix something that wasnt broken, i just though that the few issues i was having would have been fixed with the upgrade, ugh haha now i have more.

Thank you VERY much

Mmmm, we have been having that issue.

Dont bother reloading the site, it doesnt work. Dont bother trying your tools.php, that doesnt either. neither does trying to install it again, or downgrading to the previous version (3.3.2) that worked.

Last measures are being called for, we nuking the chatbox tables to see if it fixes it.

Here's hoping....
