Main Channel is the channel I want to change permissions. Or is it just basically a hub.

I also was wondering how to place the chatbox on my arcade pages.

I dont think you can change main channel, all you can do is deny access to that group in usergroup manager, i think that option is on devs to do list.

In other words, if I have a dark theme, I may still want black shouts on white backgrounds.

What do you mean by theme override color scheme ?
We can provide help and explain how you can do it on the chat is white better, or you can done some file that can inject it with white color, because look at this picture with me on the forum, gray better we do not like no way, please and help us all to solve this thank you very much

Hi,

I'm using 3.8.3, no other mods installed on the forum. When I import the product I get an error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function build_cron_item() in /www/forum/admincp/plugin.php on line 2398

Any help would be appreciated :up:

Well if you look closely it's stated that the extension, _sel and _nosel are not to be inputed !!!

The mgc_cb_evo prefix is not mandatory at all !!

You just have to put everything in the name of your image before the _sel.gif or _nosel.gif or _new.gif, that's all.[/QUOTE]

done this and still not working

did you set permissions in the user group manager they are set to off by default you need to enable shoutbox for each user group allowed to see and use it.
