Hi VBDev- for such a popular item and so many posts I know things can be over looked... So I'm just bringing this back up since I never saw you respond to it (although you may have looked at it and answered it already in your head )
Thanks!
Well sorry. About that , currently you are the only one who asked for a modification of the timeframe from 24 hours, to hours or minutes.
Unless there are other interested, I won't change that.

But in the chatbox it is working. Is this possible?
Yes I removed them as they in my opinion where of no use in the archives.

Is this intended functionality?
Either way, where can I change it?
I think you haven't uploaded the images of the chatbox in your style misc directory.
So the problem is actually that the variable $stylevar['imgdir_misc'] is getting URLencoded before vB does whatever replacements it needs to do. Or at least whatever string is including that variable for the image output is getting URLENCODED too soon. Again, I don't know where this is happening, but I'm trying to figure it out.
UPDATE
-------
Ok, I found the exact cause now, it's my custom theme. It has a custom variable called {IF} (Images Folder) which translates to "%7BIF%7D" when it's URLDECODED. So somewhere within this mod I'd guess that it needs to check/process the replacement variables when building the images folder variable ($stylevar['imgdir_misc']). I have no idea where that might be or how to do it though.
------------
Ok, I found what the problem is, just not a solution yet.
I searched this thread and found one other person with the problem, although no solution was posted.
The problem is, somewhere the text "%7BIF%7D" is getting inserted into the image URL paths. I've done some searches and cannot find this text anywhere.
Well how is this {IF} normally interpreted ? You have a plugin for that coming with the theme ?

Well it's in the footer, of the chatbox that doesn't seem much illogical. About the MGC Chatbox Evo, JFYI it's an option that you can edit ...

It's just a standard vB template replacement variable, {IF} should be replaced with "images/shadow". But it's not happening in those variables (the misc folder one) with your mod. How it's "normally" done, by vB I guess, it's native to vB, not 3'rd party.

Clicked UNINSTALLED due to copyright being is the most silliest place and looks a mess in that small font gone over to Cyb shoutbox.
Started out great as a free mod now the developer is getting to greedy asking for $20.00 to remove the copyright when everyone who uses VB knows what shoutbox it is.

Greedy???
He's on here probably 7 days a week supporting this. He doesn't have to do that. No other shoutbox/chatbox out there is as feature rich as this one.
It is worth either the copyright or the $20. I think it's a small price to pay for this to be honest. I think you're being greedy asking for something like this for nothing!

Search for Ranger187's posts. I swear he helped someone a few months ago with the exact same problem. It was with like an extrempixels skin or something...

I agree with you 100%. This is a great chat/box. I paid the $20. would pay more. My only +++++ is when is the jave pop-up error going to be fixed?? As far as everything else works great.. Love it.. Keep up the good work..
