Ahh....I haven't used the forums for months since my ISP decided to screw my line up. Once I buy a new server I'll have to mess with that.

My time stamp is 5 hours off, how do I fix it? I've checked all over my board for settings, I found nothing that indicates that I'm 5 hours ahead. Timestamps are fine in every other aspect of the board.

I figured it out, it was a setting in my profile.

I'm currently having the same problem, User can type a message and press OK. However, the message is not clear and not display on the chatbox. In order to see the message display on the chatbox, the user have to refresh the page.

Any idea ?

Anyone know how to change the font color in the input box?????

[Glenn379]

Everything works with the default settings but I've yet to figure out how to get the chatbox working in the VB4 sidebar.

I used the mgc_cb_evo_var in the MGC Chatbox Evo Block and tried creating a widget. Nothing is working. I bet I'm overlooking something simple. Any suggestions?

Hi. After the update, now I have a permanent "Loading..." everytime I refresh the forumhome... I need to refresh manually, with the arrow icon, and that solve it, but it's pretty annoying.

Any fix? Can you help me? Thanks!!!

[pityocamptes]

I upgraded to 4.2.2 and now the chat box does NOT show anymore. How do I fix this???? Thanks!
