all we have to do is use the command:

• /ban off uid userid : Unban the user specified by the userid passed as command parameter.
• /ban off uname userid : Unban the user specified by the username passed as command parameter.
• /ban show : Open a popup window containing the list of users banned from the chatbox with the possibility of unban users simply through buttons in this window.

Look at these pictures:
1)this option to enter into a window for a chat
2)this would be it /ban show
3)then you open the window where she writes banned members,if you want to delete the prohibition, in addition to a UNBAN options, click on it and that's all!!!!

VBDev, I hope you can help me with an issue. This chat box doesn't seem to work properly with the minimize/maximize.. The maximize seems to stretch outside the forums. Example shown below on attachments:

The last image shows a better example, while image 1 shows the chatbox on max, and second image the chat box minimized. All these are taken with the resolution: 1024x768. Because of this issue, it forces everything on the forum to scroll to the right as well.

Thanks for your reply but those images are showing up fine, it's the main catorgey backround image for the forums that's not showing up. The image at the top of the shoutbox behind the [Archives] link...

On some skins only, does anyone have a fix for it.
