you would have to place these images in the current directory that you have them in at the moment (when you uploaded the images to here, you selected to uplaod from a URL, keep them in this directory on your server)
for each of these images, there has to be three (for a animation) so it can have a notification, if you do not want an animaton then just use the one image.
and when you go to select an image for the "image path way" select

mgc_cb_evo_(YOUR TITLE)
and for any other channels, do the same as above.

http://www.rdm-designportal.com//ima.../Musik_sel.gif
http://www.rdm-designportal.com//ima...ilfe_nosel.gif

If you want an animation, then create two of the same images(GENERALLY OF A LIGHTER SHADE) for each of the above image and apply them in this order in the text input field as,

mgc_cb_evo_(TOUR TITLE)

In your server, apply them as these
mgc_cb_evo_(your title)_new.gif
mgc_cb_evo_(your title)_sel.gif
mgc_cb_evo_(your title)_nosel.gif

Have you installed commands correctly ? I mean having upload files and etc for commands.

2. well to avoid any abuse of new commands let the admin create the commands them self..

can u have 2 fields on the admincp. one field to enter that command which the shoutbox will respond to. and the second field is what msg the shoutbox should reply back when commands is being entered on shhoutbox...

oh any news about thhe commands thats open new windows?

1. What I meant is that if many users launch that command and set a high sending rate that's not cool. So I was suggesting an option in the admincp to set a minimum min number under which user can set to avoid that.
2. But admin can already create commands.. So I don't understand why you want something that already exists.
3. About url command not yet thought at it.

NOTE: I am using the latest release of this product with the latest release of the commands (not an upgrade)

Maybe it should be investigated that the command is its self buggy with the latest release of the chat box. along with version 3.6.7 of VB

I also installed it this on a clean installation of VB 3.7(test board) and the ban error is not there, so it is most definite that this is a bug for VB version 3.6.7

I have developped it under vB3.6.7, there was a problem with the first version of the ban command (it was not working) but now should be really ok.

That's probably because the whosonline is built in a function thus not working.

I'll have a look.

[eddie200x]

I've looked throughout this thread for a answer to this question but - how do you change the default color of the text??

[redlabour]

Bugs in 0.3.0 :

1. Translationbugs in German Translation - some Options in AdminCP and Stickyfunction in Chatbox are still french.

2. In AdminCP the links on the left Adminbar are broken. Only the Links in the upper Pulldownmenu are working and taking directly to MGC Chatbox Options.

Sorry for the long waittime to reply.

Before this Evo version, my browser runs very fast. If i install the evo, my browser (firefox) runs very slowely and lags... It?s not only at my pc, my members have the same problems... I think it?s to much java? Sorry, i haven?t no idea, you?re the coder.

But the version is very good.
