Installed work fine but having only one problem .

the message in the chat box disappear and i couldn't find the option to have the all message for like 1 day after that it refresh so can any one tell me where i can find that option please

[PAKIDIL]

Works great i don't know what vbulletin team is doing . I like this chat version notification system only if developer could add this :

Profile message for user notification
Own thread notifications : who has posted

It would be great i know its a big ask but if developer could do this . as lots of vb3 guys waiting for such stuffs and don't want to move on vb 4 just because of its notification system or some editor stuffs ( simpler the better)

Hi, I have the chatbox set to display everywhere under the navbar, and above forums and posts etc., but I have a lot of sub-forums, too, and the chatbox displays underneath these. How can I fix this so that the chatbox is always at the top. Thanks.

[Reizar]

I have this running on vb 3.8.7. It runs great.

But when I go User CP > Edit Options, I get a white page with this error:

Warning: require_once([path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_display.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/profile.php(4553) : eval()'d code on line 100

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/deadis/public_html/forums/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_display.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/deadis/public_html/forums/profile.php(4553) : eval()'d code on line 100

Any idea why / how to fix it?

[KpDaCancunLegen]

I have tried this fix and still no luck, I have also searched for other fixes with no luck on trying those. Can someone tell me where this fix is supposed to go in the smiles vb4 template. I have tried at beginning with no luck and at end with no luck. I still cant add more smiles.

Thanks

KP

Has anyone else noticed that user banning from the chat box does not work?

It sends them a PM letting them know they are banned and such, but it has no effect on their ability to post in the box.

This is getting frustrating.

Messages output put "at the bottom of new messages." When you delete a shift of the top posts down. How to solve this problem?
