My users are complaining heavily of loading issues... that they post a message and it doesn't show up.... just sits in loading so they have to refresh their browsers and it sits in LOADING and they have to use ARCHIVE to read the messages.

Obviously I'd like the shoutbox to move up so that it's inline with the rest of the modules. What do I need to change?

Secondly, how would I go about fixing the style problems that occur when clicking the question mark (help button)?



Thirdly, can you help me make a smileys button appear? I'm sure you have the option to do this, but nothing I've tried works. In fact, I can't get any BBCode stuff to appear.

Finally, I signed up on your site since I want the debranded version. However, I get this message when I try to buy it or view my profile:

What's happening?

For the style, edit the mgc_cb_evo.css template.

To make the smileys button appear, you have to activate the smilies in the chatbox, its an option.

About the branding free buy, what have you done to get that error ? Did you activate your forum account ?

Well could you send me a test account to your forum so that I have a look ?

You're not using vb supercharged or any of those enhancements are you? I was using one of those and the chatbox did the same as you describe.

Ok I think I've found a bug!
I reported yesterday that the padding was way out on my site. I have several themes all customised so I tested it on my default theme and had the same result.
Not getting an answer from the developer I set up a test site and tried to alter the css but got nowhere. Finally I disabled VBadvanced 4.0.0 (latest version) and the chatbox footer padding acted as it should.

Have you asked that question at VBadvanced?

Installed and working great. Thanks..

Cheers, but how specifically would I be able to move the shoutbox up to be inline with the rest of the modules on vbadvanced?

Also, I managed to buy the pro version after my account was activated .

Hum very very strange, I don't see why such a big gaps appear. There is only a single br below the chatbox.

May you post the equivalent source code part of your page so that I can maybe point out what is going wrong ?

He he Well you should have to edit the Display management plugin and remove the additionnal br.

And why the fact that 2 days have passed should be a problem ? May I make you remember that we are not working for you and do this during our free time ?

Anyway are you sure you changed the pass correctly and enabled the option because that modification should do it. Check also wether the sound is present or not in mgc_cb_evo/clientscript.

If it still doesn't work then I'll have to look into it but that will only be in the next version.
