No if you just reupload files you won't

You would be loosing the chats if you were deinstalling the chatbox but that's not what I ask you to do.

Well with latest version noone experienced loading issues. Those who experienced it had not upgrade the files or the product correctly or had non reverted templates.

Try also to load yui either from local or yahoo server (see general chatbox options).

Just found and fixed my usernames not showing problem. All it was is I was uploading the files in auto mode and I changed the upload to binary and now the usernames all show.

Hi there !

I follow all the rules for the upgrade from the previous version but the "loading and loading and loading again and again" problem is still there..
And now there's a new problem. When I click on the "expand/collapse" arrow, when the chatbox is collapsed I don't see the chats anymore."

Since your last post Vbdev, on my locahost I re-uploaded all the files, re-imported the product, re-imported the langage, all the MGC templates are reverted and finaly I've repeated "the last line" of your instructions (mgc_cb_evo.php?do=update_before_2.3.0). I've also tested both Yahoo and local YUI files.

But still the same problems, the loading stuff and now the chats disappearing when the box is collapsed.

Cheers.

i had the same issue aswell, even if i believed i didnt do wrong but i did. Delete all mgc files and reuploadthe files again. I used a ftp program to upload the files but it never actually overwritten the files... so try deleting the files first

Oh damn you are right there is an issue with collapsing of the chatbox ...

About the loading stuff this must be an error on your side, two users had the problem with file not being uploaded correctly.

Send me admin account access by pm to your forum so that I can have a look.

Hu really ? That's odd, please send me admin access account to your forum by pm so that I can check it out.

[pedroenf]

I think that there's a small bug in the PM system. The to/from system is not right. I send a PM to a member which usergroup color is blue and instead it shows my usergroup color red, someone send me a PM and instead o his name in "from" shoes mine. Does anyone have de same issue here? Image bellow to explain better.
