I think I know what you mean. I'll be in the chat... But tabbed (meaning more then 1 browswer tab) and on another site. I'll click back to the tab and I'm not listed. It's more an ajax thing??? (VBdev?) or something else. It's also more a feature then a necessity. Yes, it's nice to know who's in it, but who sits there waiting for a s/n to come on to post.
There is timeout for the user to be considered outside of the box

There are screenshots in the second post of the thread. There are not totally up-to-date but still pretty near.

I love this hack and my members do it too... but the thing is, they post consecutively which is like flooding.
Not very eager for that functionnality... Like ranger187.

But i have another issue with it. Even tried to install the old versions of the chatbox but none solved the issue. Only the chatbox deactivation solved it. The issue is with the (general) PM pop-up, and in IE shows the yellow warning triangule (see attach). When a PM is received the pop-up doesn't show. Any idea?
Edit: It only happens when receveing PM in IE. Opera and FF no prob, the pop-up shows.
The PM popup has been totally rewritten in the new chatbox version so I don't see the problem.
Bitwise I don't speak spanish so I can't undesrtand your screenshot ^
Read the readme. Says to add the security token....

WARNING :
For users which possess:
- a vBulletin 3.6 version < 3.6.10
- or, a vBulletin 3.7 version < 3.7.0 RC4
There will be a javascript error due to Jelsoft major changes ...
To make the mod work with this vBulletin version, edit the mgc_cb_evo.js file and add at the top : var SECURITYTOKEN = "0";
This is not very clean but this is the only way to make it compatible with both versions of vBulletin. DON'T DO IT IF YOU HAVE THE GOOD VERSIONS OF VBULLETIN.
The PM popup has been totally rewritten in the new chatbox version so I don't see the problem.

The problem is that in IE you don't get the Private Message pop-up and get that error that i show you in the attach. As i said before only happens in IE.
Please don't "insult" Portuguese people
I'll translate what says in the IE warning for you:
Line: 863
CARACT:2
Error: The object does not supports this property or method
Code: 0
URL: www.g6-team.com/index.php
See!? Wasn't so hard! Didn't even used a translator
Oh and Opera issue still remains! Unfortunately! But in strange way. I mean, the menus work but when the amount of shouts are so that the scroll bar is seen they stop working right. My trick: click the button, scroll down or up the chatbox and then the menu is working right (hope you understand me).
I tried uninstalling the product and now my forums wont load. PLEASE HELP.
all I did was remove the files from each directory (from the "Files" folder). I went to the admin page to uninstall the xml and I get a blank page.
(please note I'm only uninstalling this because I dont feel a chat box is right for my forum, the product itself worked just fine)
please help, I'm freakin out
You must carefully follow these steps if you don't want to screw up your forum when uninstalling the chatbox.
1/ Uninstall all the commands you had installed on the forum
2/ Remove the chatbox files from your forum directories
3/ Uninstall the MGC Chatbox Evo product
4/ You're done with the uninstall
I went straight to step 2 because I had no commands installed.
