That's my guess. Otherwise I don't know why some sites have these issues and others do not. PHP5.3 deprecates certain functions. The way to make vbulletin compatible is to change a few lines of code in vbulletin, according to the instructions of PaulM on vbulletin.com
It is possible that the chat box relies upon deprecated php code.

You did ALL the steps marked in the readme?

Are you running PHP 5.3? That seems to be causing issues.

Is this compatible with VB 4.2?

After I installed it, I went to Usergroups and tried to modify the permissions. Unfortunately, everytime I clicked on Update, it just gave me an error page.
I then removed MGC CB, and tried to update the usergroup and it was fine, but the whole point of updating the usergroup was to allow permission to use the MGC CB.

Yes, it's compatible. Use the error console or logs and provide that info.

Hi guys, I'm getting a bit of an issue on this.

We open the Chatbox for people to use every Saturday afternoon and occasionally Tuesday evening during a Watford FC match, when we close it it sends the forum into melt down and makes it shut as a safety measure.

Our hosts say this is due to too many connections, but it only ever happens as soon as we click to disable the Chatbox again.

Any ideas?

Either make a Chat usergroup (don't make it their default) and enable/disable it.

Or enable/disable it in usergroups when you don't want to use it.
