I did search for those, and it showed me a few templates missing those, but the search wasn't one of them. I did add that line to all the templates vB said it was missing after the search, and still I do get this when someone uses the search on the navbar.

Instead of the search results it shows:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

The other templates seem to be fixed by now. Any ideas ?

So you still have the problem with:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing

This happens to you or your friend only ?
In what user groups is your friend ?

Is there a setting or mod that would allow users to select whether or not they want to see the chat box at the top of the forum/threads?

Edit options of their user control panel... all the way at the bottom:

Chatbox options : General options
Yes No Show the chatbox:

Or, they could click the arrow at the top right of the box to mostly collapse it.

I wanted to give an update on my situation... very delayed loading and posting and sometimes requiring refresh of the page to see new posts... I also found I was having a channel error upon load, even if I deleted my second channel. I decided to just keep messing with it, so I reuploaded all files, product, reran the script (since I was coming from 2.2.x) and using the repair/optimize tables tool in VB admin.... and at some point.. it finally just started working. I don't know what it was, I never did anything different but it seems better now! And my performance has tamed back down too.... No more help required that I can think of.

CPU usage for past week....

[Dennys2012]

i can't see the copy rights on my chat i removed and unistall the chat to start a new fresh install to see if the copy right is on the botton of the chat but is nat working i want to get this fix before they think i removed and report me and start talking craps and warning me for stupid copy rights

[OnTheSideDesign]

I applied your fix you suggested for

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php on line 420

I am still getting this error on the forums homepage...what could be causing this?

I applied the fix to all of the lines in the class_misc.php

with

in_array($ugpid,$command['membergroupids'])

I would really love to get this back up and running and if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks

[Didi R.]

Are there any new tables which i have to make manually in the newest version?
made upgrade from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2 yesterday

Table 'v156135.vb3_mgc_cb_evo_bot' doesn't exist

[OnTheSideDesign]

Are these issues members are having from the upgrades from previous versions or is the new version bugged? This app is great and my members are dying to get it back. I havent found a chat program as good so far including pay ones.
