The smilies thing is still behind the italic and underline control. Also the CMS error is still there.

I don't know about speed and server resources, but personally I think VSa is way more user friendly.

Even after uninstall I get the following error when trying to promote an post to article

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [path]/packages/vbcms/controller/content.php(84) : eval()'d code on line 6

Good thing it is only on my test forum.

VSA is a much more "normal" chatbox - but GCBOS framework is simpler and I had it running in the CMS easily. But I did not like the "typewrite" effect.... AND I am still looking for a chatbox with sound alerts. MCG has taken over development of MCG Chatbox and that might be the best option - however... MCG has ALOT of overhead...

I may dump all these box chats and go with arrowchat once it is released.

Okay I love this, but it says, "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing." How do I fix this?

If you read through the thread you would see that the promote/create article issue is not new and was a problem from first release.
