You'd think right.

I change that, and the GCBOS disapears, and whatever I change it to, doesn't show.

Hmmmm. Try clearing your browser cache or holding down the shift key when you refresh the page to see if it is a browser cache issue.

post the code how you changed it.

I haven't isntalled the 6.10 version but I just took a look at it. You shouldn't have to do any template editing at all.

the latest version has

<span class="forumtitle" style="padding-left:8px">{vb:rawphrase GCBOS}</span>

so you should just be able to edit the phrase in the phrase manager. Is that not working for you?

	</ol>

	<script type="text/javascript">
    		gcbos = new gcbos_engine();
   		YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(gcbos.init, gcbos, gcbos);
	</script>

        <br />
	<!-- /GCBOS -->

Ok in the above where you have "{vb:rawphrase Shoutbox}" change that to ShoutBox

or change {vb:rawphrase Shoutbox} back to {vb:rawphrase GCBOS} and then search your phrases for CGBOS and change the appropriate phrase.

the second is the correct way to do but either way will work.

How do you get rid of the typewrite effect? I can't see any option to disable it in version 6.10

Anyone know why my chatbox keeps repeating some weird message?
