ok i have integrate it on myself by using templates but i have just a problem, why commands like ban delete and others doesn;t work?

[Solved] Found it

[Dragonlair]

OK, I can't find the answer to my question with several attempts at search and the entire mod is far too long to go through it post by post so I'll ask direct.

I'm running 4.0.3 PL1. I just got this mod installed (actually my owner did and she can't find the answer either).

Very simply - how do you turn on the "Automatic Chat Digest" to be able to have the chats removed automatically? For testing purpose, I have it set to one day. I'll reset it later once I know it's working properly.

Please help. I've been trying to find the answer for several days.

Feature request (or rather, modifying a current feature request):

On iSketch, the /slap command randomly picks from 7 or 8 different slap messages. Can we have something like that, where we just have a text box where we can enter several different strings to be used?

Well my chatbox doesn't relate to that site...

Do you have someone that has sent a chat with a link to that site ?

    margin-top:1em; 


to:

PHP Code:

.mgc_cb_evo_block {
    margin-top:auto; 


It's nothing to do with the display management plugin!

Oh great nice seen I will link to your post in the bug list.

Humm I just tested and it's working without freezing the chatbo on my test forum.

Are you sure it's the sole thing he sent ?

I know, it's how things goes when the mod is old and tends to be used quite a lot, supports starts getting hard to follow on long threads like that.

You have to activate the automatic tasks in the Cron manager and set the option of number of days in your chatbox settings.

Hey interesting feature ! I'll add that to the request list, shouldn't be hard to implement

I have reinstalled your mod, and only me got access to use Chatbox, so there is no one can send that link.

[VBDev]

Dear Users,

Currently the chatbox is up-to-date available in two languages, french and english.

The german language will soon be available but I would appreciate if more languages could be upgraded/added.

If your language is not up-to-date in this chatbox release or missing, feel free to contact me by PM telling me the language in which you can translate the chatbox.

Thanks
