I got it. I had renamed the directory for the admin cp. I renamed the upload folder to agree with what I had defined and it now works.

I hope I'll be able to release a new version as soon as possible that would correct all the bugs and new functionnalities.

Don't worry, I am still on it !

Thank you, was just wondering.

You haven't uninstalled the MGC Chatbox version correctly (version prior to MGC Chatbox Evo).

If you try searching for nbmsgshowchatbox in that thread, I think you'll find the answer. I have already gave it more than once.

Sure it will ! I still don't know when I'll have time to work on the chatbox, but I think that it will certainly not be before beginning of may. I am setting up a company and it needs time.

I am sorry for that delay !
