and when I click on it, it goes to an incorrect url: /forums/showthread.php?t=1199222#post[DLL Release]Cell Hack Pack 2~
looks like it is conflicting with vbseo partially.
ARG4 undefined means : you haven't imported the last english language file !

(I also get a database error when I click on the dropdown "view all chats")
1/ No it's not possible but I could add this option.
2/ Ok noted in the bug list

Well the restricted size is only for the dropdown menu possible selection.
The size restrict (real one) is the one of your forum, there is no way I can restrict it differently as I am using vB bbcode parsing function.

Is it possible you can change it so you don't use the settings from vbulletin for the bbcode size, so that way you can have your own settings, as in the forum I do not mind having a larger size font, but in the chatbox it is just plain horrible really. (maybe make it a pro only feature if you feel it is a lot of work)

You can find this 2 times in the php file (!)
Replace both times by:
This Chatbox uses 1/4 of the resources of the other popular chatbox. I had the other one installed, and many people complained of how slow it was. When I installed this one, they immediately noticed the difference. I have 20 people at a time chatting with no problems.
No. VBDev is exactly as i said. When click on links: Manage commands, Manage channels, View logs, Import scripts, Counters update then a don't see page with options on right side of AdminCP. Only white page.

I don't understand you, please reformulate your question/problem.
Ok. If this is so DIFFICULT for you to understand I made you screenshot.
I never seen a mod with so many problems as this one. My proposition is fix all mistajcs and after put on this forum. These 282 pages in this thread means something.
What a dumb comment... Maybe because other mods aren't near as complex as this mod is either. This is BY FAR the best effin chatbox out there IMO! I have used at least 4 other chatboxes in the last 3 years and all of them were WEAKSAUSE compared to MGC EVO! Also VBDev is one of the best developers who has stood by his mod who is constantly on here helping everyone with their issues. Just look thru this entire thread and you can clearly see almost everyone one of VBDev's posts also always filled with 5 or 6 quotes answering everyones questions and trying to fix everyones issues...
I challenge you to find another chatbox for vb that has as many features as MGC and a developer that stands by his mod as good as VBDev does....
If i move more than one Thread from a sub-forum to another sub-forum i have a Database error.
Code:
Database error in vBulletin 3.8.0 Beta 2:
Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO vbmgc_cb_evo_chat
