I hope someone can help me that may have had the same problem. I installed this last night and imported all message from Cyb's Chatbox. They loaded up just fine and displayed in the Chatbox. This morning I have an empty chatbox. I can go into full mode and it's still empty but I can go into the archive and see all of the messages. I type a message in the chatbox and only my message shows up. It's like the old messages have been permantly archived. Is that an option I have over looked?
Well i installed this 2.3.1 on fresh instalation of vb and i can set what must to be shown, but when i save options it make all marks clear. I mean i cant choose what to show coz after save it is making them clear.
What you can try is changing the chat text field of the mgc_cb_evo_chat table to utf8.
Not sure if I'm understanding this. I looked at the mgc_cb_evo_chat table and the closest thing I see to chat text is ctext. Right now its type is "mediumtext" so is this what should be changed to utf8? I'm also not very savvy with mysql so I'm not entirely sure how to change it if that's the case.
I've a section open so none members can post but when a post is created a DB error shows up. When I disable the notifications the error goes away.
I have updated the files to the latest versions.
Any ideas?
The DB error is:
Code:
Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO mgc_cb_evo_chat

PS,
If I disable the "Activate the display of an automatic message upon creation of a new thread by an user" the error goes away but the other option works great.
Well unless you are not using your ftp software I don't know, I am not behind your mouse
My apologies. I'm still fairly new to the adminstrative and technical end of vB, so knowing what information you need would be awesome. I'm using CuteFTP professional. I have 3 of the same image for each channel in there, with the _sel, _nosel and _new suffixes. Is this not what I'm supposed to do?
Thanks for the help, and of course let me thank you for the chatbox. It's an integral part of our forum. Any time it's down for any reason our members blow a fuse haha.
I would have to check it out but I am pretty busy in the coming weeks

Sorry but this is not very clear, I presume english is not your mother tongue but please try to formulate it a bit clearer.
