That took care of it!!! Thank you very much, this error was preventing me from creating new usergroups.

I really appreciate it.

Hi VBDev!

Now, you've added the Quote BBCode to the features. Can you add the Code BBCode too, please? Would be very cool to have the same BBCodes from vB in the Chatbox.

Well you shouldn't it's stupid to remove ajax as it doesn't affect the chatbox (this option is not taken into account)
