Thanks for the upgrade.

Only one small glitch, the usercp preset formatting of text style and colour doesn't appear to work, although it does show the pre-upgrade chats with the correct formatting.

Anyhow, I took blackteal's menu_open.gif and dropped it in the problem-having-skin named OnlyDev and even though when i check the source (CTRL + U) and see the link there, it still shows the "Send Query" button with no image on top of it.

I already searched in this thread and saw that Dave9720 had the same problem but he didn't post his solution.
VBDev please answer this

Well logs are not chats logs These are chatbox action logs like chats removing and so on.

So if noone do such things then you won't have any logs.

If you try changing the chatbox preset while chatting in the chatbox on another page its normal.

In this new version the user formatting choice are saved upon each chat as long requested. So if you are chatting in one page and modifying the usercp settings on another page it won't be saved

The last step of the upgrade says to run: /mgc_cb_evo.php?do=update_before_2.3.0

This I have done and the usernames show but as soon as I try and create a new message the usernames do not show?

Any ideas?

Check that your chatbox templates are not modified, otherwise you have to revert them.

Check also that you uploaded all files.
