Hi folks,

I've just upgraded from 0.4.0 to v1 and now my chats are showing up at the right side of the chatbox. (see pic)

I'm off to trawl 168 pages of posts lol so see if I can find an answer but thought I'd post anyway incase it's a new thing or an easy fix.

Thanks

EDIT: I've completely removed all files related to this product, uninstalled it, then copied the new files to the server, then installed the product. I've not made any adjustments to the settings and it's still aligning all chats to the right. Please help!

[glennybee]

I've reverted back to v0.5.0 and everything is ok now.

[glennybee]

I have a new problem. I did have the chatbox displayed at the top of my Realtime Posts page (as per this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...12#post1463112 ) but since upgrading from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0 it no longer displays.

I've set the proper settings as per above thread but it's still not displaying.

Does the $mgc_cb_evo_var variable still work in v0.5.0?

Thanks

As per 1.0.0 version, it's not possible anymore (too few users were using it).

However I add it to the todo list it as it's an interesting command and well known.

Yes it does ! Are you sure of your configuration ?

After uninstalling, the Custom permission box still appears in the usergroup manager. How to remove it?
