Yep of course

I uninstalled this program several weeks ago, after having used it for a few weeks. I had installed it as a fresh install with no chat imports.

I recently tried to add a new usergroup, based on an existing usergroup, and my mgc evo permissions are still present.

I have deleted the entire mgc install directory and uninstalled it from the manage products section of the admin panel.

I'm having an issue with the new thread notification in the chat box. It seems that my link is being wrapped with another link. Can you point in me in the right direction to fix this issue? I searched this thread but couldn't find any solution.

Perhaps removing the chatbox files will help ?

Is forextips your forum ?

[cs28702]

I guess at 3am, I figured all the files were in the mgc directory. Thanks for your efforts. I was able to find the other files and delete them.

Yes,

I was just brought on a few weeks ago to run Community Management on the forum and help work with upgrading the tech and look of the forum. Any advice on fixing this?
