Replace it by:

PHP Code:

if ($this->registry->options['mgc_cb_evo_act_autocompletion'] && is_array($this->registry->mgc_cb_evo_commands)) 


And tell me if that fixes it.

Replace by :

/mgc_cb_evo/clientscript/sound/new_chat.swf

That worked, cheers. There are a few issues though, like this one:



Obviously I'd like the shoutbox to move up so that it's inline with the rest of the modules. What do I need to change?

Secondly, how would I go about fixing the style problems that occur when clicking the question mark (help button)?



Thirdly, can you help me make a smileys button appear? I'm sure you have the option to do this, but nothing I've tried works. In fact, I can't get any BBCode stuff to appear.

Finally, I signed up on your site since I want the debranded version. However, I get this message when I try to buy it or view my profile:

The administrator has disabled viewing of this page for your user/member group. If you feel this is a mistake please PM an administrator and let them know.

What's happening?

@VBDev thanks for your quick reply.
I've attached a screen shot showing the padding problem between the chatbox and the forum. I have this problem with all themes including default. I'm running Vbulletin 4.0.3 and VBadvanced 4.0.0
