"Save the collapsed stae of the BBCODE and smilies lines" does not seem to work. BBcode line and smilies line expands on every page load, if you use ie7. It is working correctly in ff3.
The default setting of that option (=no) is working correctly on both browsers.

I just received the same error. Fyi this happens when slapping someone and having vBSEO installed.
Now that the new version of the chatbox is out I was wondering if all of you would you be interested in the creation of a forum for the chatbox ? An external one.
Is there any way to salvage my archives? I usually backup my mgc_cb_evo_chat table and then re-import it back after I upgrade but for some reason it's not allowing me to do so in the 1.1.0 version. Is there something that's now changed within that table that's not allowing this?
well from ive reinstalled this and only been 10 mins i need to uninstall it now im getting

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.
I got this error when I didn't UNINSTALL FIRST. If you try to just overwrite everything it doesn't seem to work. You have to UNINSTALL the old version FIRST and then do a FRESH INSTALL of the new version.

Ok indeed there is a bug.
Open mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php and search for :
PHP Code:
$getusers = $vbulletin->db->query_read(" SELECT DISTINCT u.username,u.displaygroupid,u.userid,s.userid AS suserid,u.usergroupid (u.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "mgc_cb_evo_session AS cbs LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS u ON (cbs.userid=u.userid) LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS s ON (cbs.userid=s.userid) WHERE cbs.dateline>='$dateline' AND cbs.userid!=0 ");
In this query after u.usergroupid, just add a coma.
