Tried upgrading from 1.5 to 2.2.1 today on vbulletin 3.6.12 and it stuck on loading. Doesn't display any shouts.

This is a what I get on firebug console:

<div dir="ltr">Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched
.<br />
<br />
If this occurred unexpectedly, please <a href="sendmessage.php">inform the administrator</a> and describe
the action you performed before you received this error.</div>

and it refers to :

connection-min.js (line 7)

Or is it the counter ?

No. VBDev is exactly as i said. When click on links: Manage commands, Manage channels, View logs, Import scripts, Counters update then a don't see page with options on right side of AdminCP. Only white page.

Hello,

I have installed 1st time the Chat Box and worked fine. Then I added the vBadvanced CMPS module and did not worked for me (my index_cmps is not not in forum root) and the main Chat Box did not worked anymore.

Since I made some mods to the the script and templates (as per info in cmps module) I've uninstalled completely the ChatBox, removed all files, reversed/deleted all ChatBox templates.

I have uploaded a fresh copy, installed it, set the option, set the permissions in Usergroups and now as admin when I want to post something it gives me the message:
"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.
If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error."
And the ChatBox shows "Loading" and nothing more...

I have no idea what to do next. I have verified over and over the permissions (Usergroups) and the settings but it is still the same. Please help me.

Notification links of new posts/replies in chat have incorrect thread ID's and lead to post not found page.

Is this because I have automated RSS feed posts?

[HyperteX]

I have the same Problem but no such a automated RSS Feed installed. Is there an Update?

I am running VB 3.8.1
MGC 2.2.1

I just upgraded VB and the Chatbox. Before the upgrade in Google Chrome, FF and Safari the loading icon was all I got in the chatbox(2.1). IE 7 the chatbox worked fine.

After the upgrade in IE the chatbox still works fine. In Google Chrome the chatbox now works. FF and Safari still get stuck on the loading icon. I've cleared my browser cache and started new sessions for FF and Safari, but I get the same results. The errors below are from FF.

Yahoo files:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIDOMHTMLTableSectionElement.appendChild]"  nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)"  location: "JS frame :: http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?2.6.0/build/animation/animation-min.js&2.6.0/build/datasource/datasource-min.js&2.6.0/build/autocomplete/autocomplete-min.js&2.6.0/build/element/element-beta-min.js&2.6.0/build/button/button-min.js&2.6.0/build/container/container-min.js :: anonymous :: line 50"  data: no]

this mod is not simply as the others..
the developer is very good and the work is very hard, so don't do any affermations without known..

282 pages means that this mod is very popular, and choosed by a lot of vbulletin administrators..and this means that the mod is not as bad as you said :P
