Not sure what's going on, but this chatbox keeps killing the apache server.. Happened twice within 10min. All happened once I used vB3 notification option for vB4.

[Jollyware]

Any ideas on why the chatbox freezes with IE8 ?

i have a big problem when i uninstall the mod the options in admin panel dont go

MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions

etc etc so i have db error everytime i do something becouse it says

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'mgc_cb_evo_permissions' in 'field list'

PLZZZZ how do i solve this!!

I del every file and remove the mod from plug-ins is the first time i got this problem

EDIT:Fixed i forgot to del the .DS_Store files my mistake :P

[Iguana Goddess]

Uninstalled...... can't fix the error. I don't understand why the coder doesn't just fix the issue.

There is an error in the PM function. If another user sends me a PM it shows from wright initially, but after a refresh it shows from me instead of from the other user.

There are 2 lines you need to edit. The error went away but still no chat box options showing in the user cp.

I'm having trouble importing from cyb chatbox. We're in the process of upgrading from vB3.8 to 4, and on my vB4 test bed that still results in an empty chatbox.

I haven't installed valter's new vSA chatbox by the way, but could it be that cyb chatbox has changed some of its database fields since the last time the importer was updated?

*EDIT*

Never mind, it's either test database corruption acting up again or the importer only picking up my MGC chatbox test lines. Import in a fresh vB3 database works
