I'm running 3.7.2 so I did not think I needed to add the security token code?

Are you using the last chatbox version (0.4.0) ?

[Dr.H]

Yes 0.4.0

Just as a thought I disabled the CMPS Module mod for this that I added. It works again so I'm guessing the CMPS mod is somehow at fault.

another problem... for testing, one of my admins banned me and now he doesnt know how to unban....even i dont know too..... please help

Tell him to type the /ban show command and then he should be able to unban you with a push on a button.
