[cindy helmond]

is there an way to get the new message on the top of page ?
thx

[abbasbsp]

database error, at the time of user registration

[vortodox]

For all those with VBSEO and having problems with displaying, you need to set the 'clean up html code' setting to 'no'
.

Could you tell me where is that option?
Tnx.

Use newer html such as <span style="text-weight: bold;"> </span>

Never happened before on mine or the demo forums (this does not touch anything related to registration).


Todo
-Recode JavaScript engine
-Implement API
-Work on restructuring the source and improving command handling(?)
-Work on a more fluid layout for the 'page' and forums version
-Finish work on colors.

Works well. Still using GCBOS_0.7.06.zip and added it to the end off navbar to have the box everywhere.
Well some Bold, invert and Color could be added.... ) maybe later

Without reading through the many posts

Is there any extras you are adding to this ?

If possible i would like to see chat channels

So we can have a protected channel and a community channel

Cheers for the work and its all working fine

[sKippah]

Hello again. I would like to ask if its possible to add the Number u set for Maximum message length between the Type Field and the submit button (see attachment)? and how can i change the Submit to an arrow? Its bit better for me coz im running a multilanguage board. Thanks

I like the idea of channels might work on it some time.

Erm its in the GCBOS template you would need to edit that. The max message size part might be interesting but that's where the color chooser is on my development boards D:

[sKippah]

So we have to wait for a newer version

btw.. how can i get rid of things like ...posted, replied, etc, Threads, Post and so on. I just want to use the shoutbox as a shoutbox not an information box?! Thanks
