Nope it's there, you have to activate it. If there aren't any command activated you won't see it though
No, I know command autocompletion is there, and it is working fine. But in older versions it was also offering chat autocompletion. Like if I were to type "Hello everyone" couple of times, next time when I type "He" it would offer me a drop down to choose from with a phrase "Hello everyone" in there.
Hi. We finally got the chatbox working (it was a problem with our server). Most of our questions have been answered by this topic, but we have a few questions which we've searched through this topic but haven't found answers to.
Firstly, is is possible to add links, font styles etc to the announcement? We've tried the standard [url=...] and <url=...> etc tags but they dont seem to work.
Secondly, is is possible to edit the background colour of the chat box?
Third, there is a sort of glitch (although perhaps its intentional) in that when users cannot edit the BBCODE the text in the box they type in is black on a white background. When they press OK it appears on the chatbox as the default colour we have set in the admin panel. However once we activate the BBCODE editing for users, the text in the box comes up as the default colour as opposed to black. So if the default colour is light (because we have a blue chatbox), its hard to read the light writing on the white box. If this is intentional, is there a way to change it so no matter what colour u use, the text in the writing box is always black? Or peraps there is another way around this..
Fourthly, is there any way to remove some of the boxes in the BBCODE menu e.g. the Links box (and the one next to it..the T with the cross through it).
Fifthly (and most importantly!) how do we donate? It really is a great mod...its obvious you've put in alot of work for this.
I have bbcode in chatbox turned off. So no links are linkable, no images, and maybe no special characters?
On my test forum I did that and it's working, but perhaps it's because I changed something in my test version

You have an option to activate BBCode in the announcement.

Wysiwyg is not active when the BBCode are inactive, that's intentional.
