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.

anybody has same issue?

i get this error after send an infraction:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare gcbos_command_impersonate() (previously declared in includes/class_gcbos.php(49) : eval()'d code:22) in includes/class_gcbos.php(49) : eval()'d code on line 35

on url
infraction.php?do=update

Quite strange: GCBOS is only working when using http://www.url-of-my-board.com and not with http://url-of-my-board.com

Will there be any fix for that issue?

Cheers,
Stefan

Quick and dirty solution: htaccess + mod-rewrite.

Any suggestions?

I seriously need some help with this. Here's a screenshot of what's happening. My client is getting a little impatient, and doesn't seem to believe that I have no idea what to do. Has anyone ever seen this before? Does anyone know how to fix it?

You haven't given us much to go on. My first wild guess would be that you put the call in the wrong place. But you may also be trying to install it on a wrong version of vb4, I dunno. Have you tried disabling all your other mods? Can we at least assume the forum works okay when you remove the shoutbox call?

[cbiweb]

Not much to go on? lol... The chat starts filling up with HTML source code, and you can see what it does to the chat window in the screenshot, what more can I say? It's been installed for a few weeks, and only a few days ago this started happening, and I haven't made any changes at all on the forums. No further add-ons, no customizations, nothing. Not sure how the shoutbox call can be in the wrong place? It should be able to placed almost anywhere, right? I have it at the very end of the navbar template to make it show up on every page.

That was happening to me when I was hogging excessive resources from my web host/server cbi. Check your email. You could be at risk for having your account suspended.

I wish there was a lightweight version of this script. I get in trouble with my web host for using GCBOS because I'm on a shared server.

[cbiweb]

Okay, thanks for the info.

I don't know if this is in this thread somewhere but muted members can get around it by the "/me" code
