Opps, sorry i was just editing that I found it and giving the info incase someone else didn't know... So, to be clear, I am not rallying for votes. Simply making sure people know where to go to check out which are nominated (I did look at the others and still feel this was the best addon for my forum from the list.)

...I can't even find any motm rules.. where the heck are those?

MOTM rules can be found here : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/info.php?do=motm

They are not that clear though but with the previous chatbox version I turned into some small troubles while being nominated and having rallied.

[Sandy-XXX]

I want the next version with the spanish language bug fixed, I mark installed for monitoring the mod.

[Flygye]

what is the commands for delete the messages from the shout?

are there already any list of comands to this new one version?
i want to clean all the messages, how i can do it????

[adnedarn]

Flygye- once you install the Del command (see the read me) you can get a list of the delete codes from the "?" button in the chat. But to answer your question:

/del all : Remove all chats from the chatbox.

VBDev- this may be another "just how it is" thing, but if I make there be alot of shouts in the box (so you can scroll back and read them without having a huge box on the home page, or having to go in the archive to see them) and you click the down arrow next to a name to send a pm or whatever... The more shouts you list, the further down the page that popup window is from your curser.

bug for /me

[adnedarn]

For chatbox time format I have H:i A set. But the time says: 20:23PM I'm not sure if that is included in the current time bug or not.
