Can you please share with me how you fixed this? I guess it's because I have the name of adminstrator bold as a mark-up but I would like to keep it like this.

Another question: In the first post, it stays that you have to use the messageid to delete a chat. How do I know what the messageid is of a specific chat? I don't see a number anywhere. Thank you in advance!

Very nice work on this mod so far mate, however I would suggest wrapping the forum description in an if clause to prevent the little gray bar from appearing when there is no notice though, looks a lot neater that way.

Not sure on the message ID part for the other you need to update all your HTML markup codes from vb3 to vb4. I use this for the admin and just change the color per group but the same code.

<span style='font-weight: bold; color: red;'>

in the first box.

</span>

in the second box.

Im not sure how this could conflict with other products the way the template is rendered now it literally using a str_replace on the <!-- {SHOUTBOX} --> and </head> tags to prevent this happening

I have no idea why either, but I removed that plugin and it works. I've already notified the author of that plugin.
