Also having a couple of problems with the new version, can't get the chat box to show on my online.php page, nor on my photoplog, whereas it worked fine with the earlier version. Running 3.7.2 Patch Level 2 with vBSEO 3.2.0 RC8.
About the online.php I have never tested but I think it works if you set the option show chatbox under the navbar along and put the good variable in the page list.
About photoplog, it's something very specific so I can't really tell.

Yes, known and fixed in the next version
I had them both working immediately prior to upgrading to the new version, I have the chatbox under the navbar and have entered online in the page list, for the photoplog I have it added into global variables as mgc_cb_evo which again worked previously.
No really big deal, will wait and see if the next release fixes it. Nice product have been running for a while now, thanks.
