How exactly do I create a channel for Staff Members?
I tried but it's telling me I need to create a Syntax or something.

Thanks in advance.

Create the channel and then set usergroup permissions and tadam !!!!!!! That does it

There should be no background unless you set the option to use alt1 and alt2 css options in the chatbox options of the acp.

Otherwise, edit the templates.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you!

Honestly I don't know, this code was gently shared by another user from here and I don't know anything about seo code sorry.

Anybody have an issue with character spacing? A real strange thing just started where I'm getting spaces between characters on words 7 or more characters long.

Example: This would be my soundbarr ierpro respons e to that.

Do you have any mod that act on the bbcode parsing ?

Oh boy....what's that mean? I can tell you smiley's sometimes work and sometimes don't now as well.

Is there somewhere I can tell if bbcode parsing is turned on or off?

You should have read my entire post.
Like I said, It's telling me "You must enter a command syntax". I have no idea what that is or what to do.

I don't think they are turned off. Can you list me the mods you have installed on your forum ?

Oh sorry, must have been very tired when I read that

In that version of the chatbox channels are linked to commands and thus need a command syntax (like me, team, del, ...). This will be changed in a next version.

And F5 should be pushed if the refresh button is not visible.

If inactive mode is active by default, refresh button will always be visible otherwise the admin is stupid

I have it inactive mode and my 'refresh' button doesn't show

and F5 doesn't work for me...

Thanks

You have set it to hide refresh elements so the button doesn't appear.
