It's because there is no commands parsing.
Anyways this seems very specific why would you use the bot for setting announcement ?

No you can't unless you own a BF licence available from my site.

Sorry, i just read the readme file where it states that.

I just installed your mod and testing it out. When I decide to replace my old chatbox i will buy a licence.

Question:

When I enable sound notifications on new messages and a user disables the sound.
Upon refreshing the page the sound is turned on again.

Is their a way to remember the setting for each user? If no, will you be planning to add this function to the chatbox?
