UNINSTALLED
Database error when assigning options ? Did you get to an earlier version of the Evo or the old one coz this could be the reason of the error when assigning options.
Do you want me to have a look and try to install and configure it for you ?

This characters are working well for me (french does have those specific chars ).
Do you have other issue on the forum with ajax features (like quick reply or quick edit) ?
I long ago experienced this kind of problem and it seemed to be server dependent but I honestly don't know much in that field so can't tell what in the server configuration was messing up.
ill give up if you still dont understand my suggestions
1 feature request is having an auto message posting on shoutbox. Would be great if members could customized their msg so what msg would be when it auto post on the shoutbox on every example 1 hour.
2 feature request is when ppl type an own commands on shoutbox. The shoutbox itself will respond toward that given command by replying back with customizedtext.

That one I understand it. So basically, a member would click a button to activate auto messaging and until he doesn't click on it again, it sends a custom message with a frequency defined in acp.
I don't see really the need of that and how it would be implemented.
How would those commands be defined ?
Give me an example of use please, we are getting to it
Only users that have management rights can sticky messages. Does those user haven't the rights ?
No they don't, but isn't suppose to show up the Sticky option only for these users? There is no reason to an ordinary user view this option if they can't use it.
Thank you for the update Dev. I see in the "Chats sending and formatting" options where you added the smiley retrieval by admin cp's order option that i requested. I'm not sure if it is pointing to a different directory than my smilies or if it just plain isnt properly working but for some reason it does not appear to be properly placing my smiley selection.
I also have the smiley categories mod installed on my forums, i'm not sure if this is causing some sort of conflict. Below is a link to the smiley categories mod.
No they don't, but isn't suppose to show up the Sticky option only for these users? There is no reason to an ordinary user view this option if they can't use it.
Hum yes perhaps I forgot that .

When you say that it doesn't show the selection the way you want it, what did you mean exactly?
VBdev, use the following in trying to understand the bugs,
and no not jump to the most obvious of assumptions. It is insulting.
pay close attention to the ban images, because although it said that the user name admiral was banned, a minute later i was able to post a message. ban does not work, and the chatbox does not dissapear as you said when the page is reloaded.
and pay close attention to the images displaying the broken image links.
the image name is inserted correctly within the admin panel.
and also, when you ban someone from the shout box, with the drop down menu, the (ban option, should be changed to unban when the ban action occurs)
