i know now my error ..

i used the old rc3 version of vb 3.7.

install the new vb 3.7 rc4 and the new mgc chatbox will run

[Inferno Dragon]

I am running vb 3.7 RC4, when after upgraded to 0.4.0 my chatbox stopped working <_< it's just displaying "loading.." for infinite period of time.

I then completely uninstall the chatbox and then again done the clean installation, but still it's showing the damn "loading.." message, and the shoutbox never get loaded completely.

And If I'll remove the following line from the php files:

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);

then it start to gives those weird security token errors :S

[VBDev]

I told just before that I was going to fix it today so please calm down on messages and wait !

Sending the same messages again and again is not constructive

[d2sector]

Question:
Is it possible to have it so that a persons text colour in the chat is the same as what their usergroup colour is? (the username appears in the colour)

or to be able to save some personalised settings for the chat so you don't have to choose the colour you want with every single message?

Thanks.

[VBDev]

I have tested my last version on a clean 3.6.10 and it just works perfectly so it should work too on 3.7.0 RC4.

Have those of you who encountered problems emptied their cache and replaced old files by new files ?

[RYoBiOS]

I have new files and it not work,seems dead.

[VBDev]

What doesn't work ... ?

When you say it doesn't work please give more details !

[supportMM]

Did a fresh upgrade to Vbulletin 3.7 rc 4 and did a fresh install with 0.4.0

I have been fighting with the blank chat box issue and read through 75 pages of posts looking for an answer, but in the end I downloaded 0.3.0 and replaced the two main php files, and it works now....

Dunno why but it does....

Thanks
