Awesome Chat box Thank you!

I did some searching but was unable to find a solution. Id there a way to hide the default channel?

Thank you again.

I have a serious problem with this program. (I also have vbseo installed if that makes any difference). Basically, some member profiles on my site are blank when MGC chatbox Evo is enabled, I mean completely blank white page. If I disable MGC chatbox Evo the profiles work again. Anyone got a clue what this could be? Thanks, Lucy.

I just moved from location and currently haven't yet been a lot back to coding.

I am not sure as I added lots of options since the beginning but I think I have added an option for that.

Hum, I think there might be a bug on that side in the current version. If you look at your server php log, do you see any errors reported (if you have access to it) ?

Some of the menu pop ups are white with white writing. Is there a css file to change some of the coloring of these menus?

Hi,

I checked the server log, but it is not generating an error. I can PM you admin access details to our vbulletin if you can look. No error when MGC chatbox Evo is disabled, but as soon as I enable MGC chatbox Evo some profiles go blank. It is only some profiles that go completely blank, most are ok. I really can't work out what it is, because I can't get it to generate any error.

Thanks

Lucy

Alright cool. Hopefully my refresh issue is gone because I love this chatbox.

Hi Guys,

Is there any way to configure the chatbox so that the "Users in the chatbox" shows people who are idling on the chatbox page (as well as those who are presently "active")? I'm looking at replacing Flashchat with MGC Chatbox and the default behaviour will probably confuse my users.

Cheers,
Adam

Yes there is, do a small research in this thread for css or kinda like that.

Well currently only the users online in a tab refresh. I could perhaps see what I can do with the one below chatbox.
