Where is the lang file of the chatbox, please? I am afraid to put the encoding UTF-8 in a wrong place.
You are having that problem with no lang imported ?

Do you have such problems on ajax functionnalities like quick reply (ajax based with no page refresh) ?

I don't understand............I have upload as in readme:"Upload the content of the Files folder in your forum root.
Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories. "
And I import just the product-mgc_cb_evo.xml.

Do I have to upload ou import aloso English.xml ? to where exactly, like product-mgc_cb_evo.xml?

I have never a problem of ajax for the moment. Quick reply works well.

Thanks!

When you type characters in the quick reply box (in chinese) then the posts is posted and retrieved through ajax without page reload at all ?

So I reworked the import script a little to allow the importing of vBShout Chats into MGC EVO. Just posting this up for VBDev if you would like to implement this into your next version, or if anyone knows what they are doing they could use this to import also. Just replace the mgc_cb_evo.php file from your admincp folder with the one that I have attached. Then your "Import Scripts" page will show up like this.



Also this mgc_cb_evo.php file is from the current 2.1.0 version.
Both the original, as well your new version is not able to import vbSout.

To make it possible just one correction is needed . TABLE_PREFIX . in line 672

Change in the line 672
Code:
$check_vbshout = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SHOW TABLES LIKE 'shout'");
to

Code:
$check_vbshout = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SHOW TABLES LIKE '" . TABLE_PREFIX . "shout'");

I just had to disable MGC

I was getting the "Loading" message, and nothing else..

Have installed something else temporarily, hopefully the new version will fix this issue, and this is without doubt the best featured chatbox around..

Cheers,
Dave
