Well i asked this on the actual vb advanced addon page but no answer so ill ask it here. Is there a fix for the issue, that when you activate the chatbox in the vb advanced index page, it max's out the width and destroys my skin. It works fine with my fixed width skin on the forum index page, but it stretches out the vb advanced index page..can you please help?
Three of my formatting icons are missing; I checked the image files and they are all there and up to date for all my styles. Only underline, italics, and bold are missing, and those are some of the three newest files in the misc/mgc_cb_evo/ directory. What can I do to get them back? Otherwise, the upgrade worked fine. Thanks, great mod.:up:
I have the following problem, with A New Thread the Link is Right in the Chat
With Answer to A Thread the Link is Not Right.
It's because the german language is not uptodate.
You have to edit the mgc_cb_evo_x_has_posted_newpost_inthread_y phrase.
See how the english one is built and replace in the german translation

You can try diminishing the chatbox input size.

Well in this new version there are now 2 buttons for b u and i corresponding to on state and off state.
So you have to have :
mgc_cb_evo_b_on.gif
mgc_cb_evo_b_off.gif
mgc_cb_evo_i_on.gif
mgc_cb_evo_i_off.gif
mgc_cb_evo_u_on.gif
mgc_cb_evo_u_off.gif
The one of the default set are included in the zip file.
I was getting the "Loading" message, and nothing else..
Have installed something else temporarily, hopefully the new version will fix this issue, and this is without doubt the best featured chatbox around..
Cheers,
Dave
Same here. First time fresh installation 2.3.1 on vb3.8.1 and all I get is "loading". Searched on this forum and the developer website and see some people have the same issue, but there doesn't seem to be any solution. Will wait and see. Thanks!
What you must understand is that if you change your usercp settings while the chatbox is running on another active page they won't be saved.
Unless you deactivate the formatting auto register
That must be it. Although I put the site down before the update, I still had the shoutbox on a tabbed window & I think a few users were idle (i.e. the ones that have the same issue as me).
I appreciate your time, I am sure I can figure out a fix for this.
