It appears that I cant actually click anything in the menu and get an action. It just makes the menu disappear in Firefox. The behavior seems worse in IE. When you roll over a menu item, the menu disappears behind other elements.

Does this work for anyone? I've been messing around with this for hours now.

I have the same Problem.

VBDev got Logindata to my Forum to Check this.

Firefox und IE doesnt work but chrome does.

Thank you
Problem fixed

bytheway i am try yesterday the new mgc but no working any commands to me (ioncube have related i think)

[VBDev]

@Skyborg : just tested, with chrome (only browser I have here @ work), I have been able to slap and/or remove chats without issue

@ikorolis : have you activated the commands ? in admin cp. As well as set the commands permissions for each.

[Tunnox]

The Chatbox wont display in my forums. How can i add the shoutbox in my custom style? like below navbar?

This ones in Readme is old:

[VBDev]

Have you set usergroup permissions tunox, are you sure it just not a problem of configuration ?

[PPhysX]

You are right, but it works only with chrome.

Please Try it with another Browser from home.

I tested the following:
Chrome: o.k.
Firefox 8: nothing happend (errors in firebug)
IE8: nothing happend when click on some of the action links.

Thank you

You can change it in admincp

Although minor and I can live without it, I cannot slap anyone either. Also, noticed a few other things not working. As they come around, I'll post them here. Like I said, I don't need to slap anyone but it's probably a cool option to be able to do it for kicks.

I tested it too with Firefox and IE and it happens nothing. If i test ist with chrome, it works.
