Coz you can in a channel itself.

Channels are linked to commands so command permissions resides in commands

So all your problem are fixed except the one for chatbox in vba ?

Then, 10 attempts later it works.

What can that be?

Have a nice weekend.

P.S. There are a few other persons that have the same problem in my forum.
I use Firefox 2.0.0.12 ...

3) I have the same old problem with my language, my forums language is in UTF8, both english and greek! Everytime i try to install you language xml file, it messes up everything! Back in 3.6 it ruined some tables and i had the guys from vbulletin.com support to run some queries and fix it!

Now after uploading the file, it doesnt matter which language i choose, english or greek, everything shows up in greek! I Deleted the english language, reinstalled it, still the same, its always greek! I uploaded tools and i've put through the command the default english language, its still the same, in greek!

Phiouuuuu...wish things with this mod were more simple...
I miss the chatbox in 3.6
2/ Known bug that will be fixed

3/
Your english language is utf8 on your forum ?? Then it's normal that uploading the english language file is messing things up.
English language is normally ISO-8859-1 which is what is set in vB by default for its language.

What have you done on your forum to make languages behave like that ? Coz you only tell things but not what leads to the problems.

I also had this question at first. Proceed to ACP-->MGC Chatbox Evo-->General Options and manually remove the content of the Announcement in chatbox field box.

Perhaps I should make a /announcement remove command

Correct! I love this mod, but I also have a great desire to get it working as a page variable in vBadvanced. The center column restriction is not working well with my styles. It also appears to load much slower as a module.

Incidentally, I tried the page variable method with ibProArcade and it works perfectly. When making the necessary edits, I noticed the globalized variables required. On a hunch, I added these variables to ACP-->vBa CMPS-->Default Settings-->Portal Output Global Variables, but unfortunately it still freezes. Are there any other variables that need to be added? I am probably on the wrong track, but I am trying at least.

Many thanks for your time and effort.
