Thanks 1f42,

VBDev if it helps any at all I am using Zoints Tags and Zoints SEO. Although this should not be the case because my old chatbox Cyber Chatbox worked fine on all pages except for IBProArcade.

I am sure there is something missing in the coding or in setting the var code so when utilized on alt pages it will bring in the chatbox. I am using a custom Style built for VB 3.0 so all vb 3.0 features work fine, I tried the default and the same thing no Chatbox is showing up in any of the non default pages. I truly believe a setting is missing in global somewhere.

Also where do I donate cause even with this minor draw back this is by far the best chatbox I have run across. I would like to thank you for all your help and development of the chatbox. I will be more than happy to buy it for the $20 so as to get your new release and extra features. Just need to know what paypal email to send the money to.

Hello, it's been some time since i upgraded, and realized i needed to do a fresh install.

So, i deleted my files and then de product, after that everything seemed fine, but once i tried to set the channel i got this error

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.2:

Invalid SQL:

		SELECT ch.*,co.syntax,co.title AS cotitle
		FROM vb_mgc_cb_evo_channel AS ch
		LEFT JOIN vb_mgc_cb_evo_command AS co ON (ch.cid=co.cid)
		ORDER BY chanorder ASC;

MySQL Error   : Unknown column 'co.syntax' in 'field list'
Error Number  : 1054

Tried searching for similar posts, but no luck so far, could you tell me what went wrong?

I was able to set everything else, group permissions, settings, only this seem to be the problem.

And if i try to browse my forumhome, it is also dead and prompts a similar error.

Thanks

Love the chatbox, thanks.

Any idea why sometimes my members and I have to refresh the page because it stops refreshing automatically?

I have noticed that the chatbox does not refresh automatically when you are downloading something, or more technically speaking when your bandwidth is lowered and Inet is slow. I believe the refresh is timing out, maybe on new release they can adjust the timeout a little to accommodate slower INET or lower Bandwidth?

Perhaps installing with them there in the first place has led to this problem? Please can you suggest best way to re-install?

Not sure I understand your issue ?!

Not sure those mods interfers with the chatbox.
Have you briefly tried to disabled them for a quick test ?

Not sure, there are some side strange issue in that version of the cahtbox. I think they will dissapear in the next version.

Yes, that would be nice. It doesn't do it all the time and sometimes not at all, but then sometimes it does.

[will555559]

Any idea when the next version will be out?
