Can you edit the mgc_cb_evo_chatbit_menu template and changed z-index : 1 to z-index : 50 to see if that fixes it.

No, that doesn't fix it.

Now I have removed "value="$vbphrase[mgc_cb_evo_prompt_msg]"" in the product.

*edit*
Ohh, you added the function to mark shouts and then to delete this marked shouts. Bon, Merci .

[VBDev]

Oh !!! Ok I'll correct both problems then !

[sickboy6ths]

Thanks for the bug fixes!

The last 2 reported problems, can we fix them ourselves by simply editing something or are you about to release v0.1.3 (cuz then I wait with upgrading)?

The problem appeared in the last install, you have to reimport the spanish language file of vBulletin and use the spanish xml file of the new release.

Hi, i can?t reimport the spanish language file of vBulletin. i haven?t more options

[skcyber]

updated !

Is it possible to allow users to select a different style for the chatbox? It's just that some of my users browse at work and they'd like to have the chatbox in a much subtler style to the rest of the forum so that they can keep it open.
