You may edit messages by double clicking on them (If you have permission to do so), delete messages by clicking on the '#' in front of your messages, send a user a private message by single clicking their name, or speed up/slow down the speed messages are typed at by pressing the 'up' or 'down' arrow keys on your keyboard.

Thats ok.
Only, which code?
I see no Example in this Quote.

Install:
-Upload the contents of the upload folder to your webserver
-Import product-gcbos.xml in your admincp
-Set usergroup permissions under Usergroups->Usergroup Manager->{your_group}->GCBOS in the acp
-Insert <!-- {SHOUTBOX} --> into the template you want it to display GCBOS in (EG FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY). In FORUMHOME i would suggest placing GCBOS above "<!-- / main ->" or at the bottom of the navbar template to display GCBOS globally.

I've go GCBOS showing in the products section but I can't locate any mention of it in the usergroups area... where should it appear and any idea why it's not appearing?

[dianna]

Is there a way to stop the GBOS messages that pop up when loaded?

"#21:11 GCBOS/member> You have just received a new private message from member entitled 'Re: posts'"

Nvr Mind think I got that worked out but I would like to know how change when veiwing who is online it says the member is veiwing GCBOS.

Hello,

first I want say thnx for the great add-on.
Unfortunately the "Umlaute" like äöü will be not displayed correctly.
Is there any way to change it?

Thank you for the Help and the great add-on.

Greetings out of Germany
Hans

Another issue I have come across, one of my members muted herself yet I have that option diabled for all usergroups. What can I do to unmute her?

BWT besides the little bugs it is a good add on I am hoping in the future you will be able to make it more like a reply box

Appears on TOP, and if you upload ALL files, they must be there... See is file bitfield_gcbos.xml in right place (includes/xml)?

I get this error:

Warning: Parameter 5 to gcbos_command_me() expected to be a reference, value given in [path]/includes/class_gcbos.php  on line 125

Whenever I try to do a /me after upgrading my server to PHP 5.3.1.

Yes, I've confirmed that allow_call_time_pass_reference is on.
