Firebug shows different errors when I first login usually and also at different times while navigating around my forum. I am on vb 3.6.4 and use vbadvanced. Here is one set of errors reported:

refreshAjax is not defined http://www.mydomain.com/forum/client.../mgc_cb_evo.js Line 253

I get about 10 instances of this error on many occasions.

This is certainly a javascript problem but that could be caused by another javascript bug.

Can u give me a ling to your website with a test account ?

[yotsume]

I will PM you my URL and login info...

[VBDev]

I went to your website but no error fired.

Are you using the last version of firefox ? Have you tried emptying your cache ?

[Warex-Z]

I tried installing this but no chat box came out even though its set as active help please!

I use Firefox 2.0.0.12 and yes I dumped the cache. To repeat the errors all you have to do is go to my forum's homepage, login, wait until the chatbox reloads, then navigate to a couple of other pages on the forum, wait till the chat reloads and poof 10+ errors get reported in firebug. This time I attached a screen shot to better help you out with this.

Awesome addon. But it does not seem to be possible to post a "plus" (+) in the chatbox, it gets filtered out. What is the reason for this and how can I fix it? Posting a "minus" (-) is no problem, but + is not possible.... very strange

[pewp]

the + works fine fore me... Is there anyway to get the /me emote command back?

How do you make channels? I don't understand the: Name of the channel image and then it tells me I have not made a command: "Command attached to the channel". Is there some readme on how to make channels?

Also, your whole mod is infected with junk mac files that everyone will end up uploading! .DS_Store You need to remove this junk from your Mod zips!

[yotsume]

Ok sorry for all the posts but I love the chatbox...

How do you use channels and the commands? Ive uploaded and installed a command. Where can we find some readme or manual for making new channels and using the commands. The supplied stuff has no real instructions for these.
