Where can I edit the message that is sent to users that are banned?
This is what is sent now:
Dear ****,
You haven't repescted the rules, thus causing your ban from the chatbox.
The forum staff
I just need to correct the spelling but I can't find any place to change it.
EDIT:
I found this text string in the mgc_cb_evo_cmd_ban.xml file. I corrected the spelling and saved the xml file. Then I deleted the ban command and re-imported the corrected xml file. It had no effect on the message sent to a banned user.
What am I missing? This text really should be made editable in the Admin CP.
I think I made it an option which should be available in the advanced options, but not sure.
Nothing in advanced options for changing it..... or anywhere else. Any idea why deleting the command, then importing the xml file with the corrected spelling didn't change anything? In which file is that text actually stored once the chatbox is installed?
Another thing I've noticed is that I cannot change my default chat color as an admin. No problem with changing regular registered users color. I can select a color in the admin cp and save, but it always goes back to white. I the previous version I had installed, this was not a problem.
All of the problems I am experiencing are minor. Overall, this is a great addon. Nice work!

/del all (Check the help in the chatbox, it shows you all command syntaxes !)
This is all my help in my chatbox says about the command function:
Use specific commands : some commands can be accessible in the chatbox depending on the will of the administrator(s) of your forum. These commands let you execute specific actions of formatting, management, etc... You will herebelow the information on the command which are accessible to you. You must notice that you are not forced to use the command prefixes (/command_name) when you use them in the channel they are attached to (except in the general channel).*
There is no list and the /del all does not work.
I still cannot make the other channels images appear either.

- but it seems to be quite slow when refreshing the box.
