Didn't affect mine. Have you tried to hold CTRL and SHIFT and press R while on your page with the chatbox?

I mean if you send a message with one of those character the chat only display the author but not the message.

Do you have any advice? Im running the last version of MGC Chatbox Evo

im having the same issue after updating to 4.2.2 patch 1

the chatbox does not update with new content you have to refresh the entire page in order to see updated chats.

i do not have mod_security installed

[mr_clean_mr]

for those haven issues with it no loading i figured out a temporary solution

open config.php in your includes folder

and right under "<?php" paste the following

define('SKIP_ALL_ERRORS', true);

that should work for now

It was just pointed out to me that the chatbox won't work when you type terraforums.com into the address bar... But www.terraforums.com it works fine. Any idea why that would be? Attached is what it looks like.
Thanks!

We have a .htaccess entry that redirects site.com to www.site.com -- we don't use the short form -- maybe you should do that?

Eg:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ausphotography.net.au$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.ausphotography\.net\.au\/$1" [R=301,L]

[ReMarkable1991]

how comes /pm doesn't work for me, it allways says user is not online.

I have enabled it (it shows it when u start typing /p for example as well)

Tried /Pm ReMarkable /Pm uname ReMarkable and / pm uname "ReMarkable" with different names and with and without capitals.

Also when u click on someone it opens a seperate tab for messages with that person, however there is no way to know some1 send you a message this way unless you press on him as well.

Any tips?
