doesn't make sense at all to me. I had no issues doing what you've stated by uploading the english file from how it was described through the screenshots..are you sure you uploaded it in the right place? (in the language portion of the admin cp, not the plug-in section)?

No the language file. I already could enable it etc, but it was partially in french. The column on the left side, for example.

I mean where can i actually find the chatbox, i want to chat and test it out. I can't find the link in my forum for it. How do i start chatting?

go where i said, sift through the options and enable the shoutbox. once you do, go to your forumhome page and it will be below your navbar.

The chatbox is already activated. Are you sure its shoutbox instead of chatbox? I don't see shoutbox in the options.

Can you tell me what that option is called on the left side in the column where i need to look?

chatbox/shoutbox...same thing. if it's properly activated, it would show up on your forum home where all the sections are at the very top.

sounds to me you haven't properly enabled it. if u don't know where the settings are, it's disabled by default.

they're on the top left of the admincp.

The option to enable it is in 'general options':

Activation of the chatbox
Activate the chatbox yes/no

Those .DS_Store files, do they need to be in the forum root too?


Edit:

Im having a hard time understanding this one:

2. Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories.

The only 'styles' dir i know is Images, right?

The default name of the chatbox is:

Chatbox filename: mgc_cb_evo

But i saw there is an ajax version of it too: mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php

Is the default one the right one?

Running 3.8.3 and just uploaded the latest chat version.

Everything loads fine - the chat box is visible etc. But when I go to type text and hit enter the text disappears from the input field but doesnt display in the chat window.

But if I go in to the archives I can see my chat messages as being logged.

Any ideas?
