You need to upload all files (from FILES dir), then import product.xml, (from PRODUCT dir), then if you need from LANG dir english.xml. Then, in usergroup permissions set what you want for each usergroup, and from Settings for Chatbox you need to set everything - "Activate the chatbox" must be YES and "Position of the chatbox...." set to predefined option to see is it works.

This was about a month ago and 20 pages back... I haven't been keeping up with the thread, too much chatter. Any solution/update to this common issue yet? Seems like both MGB and CYB (last I used it) chatboxes have this problem, and my members are starting to get angsty about it lol.
Seems to me this is a coding issue, since it loads perfectly every time if the /index.php is included in the url (aka if you click the banner or link back to home), but FREQUENTLY has this issue when you load to / (aka straight from your domain).
As you are also experiencing it with Cyb chatbox don't you rather think it could be a problem on server side ?
I'm having an odd problem by the way: if I edit a post in the archive view, then hit enter to submit, I'll get a vbulletin error message: "You haven't selected any chat to remove". If I go back to the archive view and refresh it, the edit will show though.
Could it be that the edit script is somehow still looking for a ticked tickbox (i.e. the one at the end)?
