You may edit messages by double clicking on them (If you have permission to do so), delete messages by clicking on the '#' in front of your messages, send a user a private message by single clicking their name, or speed up/slow down the speed messages are typed at by pressing the 'up' or 'down' arrow keys on your keyboard.

I don't know if this was addressed already, but every message in the chat box looks like this:

#1:06 pm (username)> blah bah

See the 'pm' before the name? That's all I see, but I've never used the /pm command. It started like that from the time I installed. Any ideas?

[fromtheflames]

hello, thanks for this mod

May I suggest you to use the locale settings for formatting the time in chat?

thank you

what can be happened ?

I had the exact same issue... that seems to be an incompatibility issue with the "VSa - Login To User Account" plugin... i disabled it and the error went away.

it doesn't seem like the messages appear immediately like stated few pages ago

you can see what I mean here http://www.cryrulez.net/forum/forum.php

the alert of new messages doens't work too (yes it's enabled)




also as said from other people it's necessary a history of all messages and it should be lighter... choose font color etc

to change it into the "normal" format 19:00 open the file class_gcbos.php in the include folder that you uploaded.
Search for vbdate and where it says 'h:i a' put 'H:i'.

It takes few refreshes to the change to apply

Bug report: Regular users just reported seeing notification of a thread to a private moderators forum! I may have to disable this unless there's a setting somewhere to prevent this?

hi. the php info page in admin cp is a reference only, using a built in php command to output your server configuration for you to inspect for debugging purposes. php.ini is a separate file used to configure php, typically located well out of reach. some hosts do allow you to upload your own php.ini to override and change some options, but they are few and far between.

However when I view my php.ini through admin cp, it's just an output of that file, no changes can be made.

Directive Local Value Master Value
allow_call_time_pass_reference Off Off

Where do I go to change this?

I'm not sure I understand the need for this reference, as I'm only using PHP Version 5.2.6.
