In the admin you don't have to put the _nosel.gif it's stated in the instructions

[maidos]

well i removed that nosel_gif but still doesnt give me the team icon picture

on chatbox forum it still gives me forum/shine/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels/mgc_cb_evo_team__nosel.gif

[VBDev]

Please open your eyes, don't you see there is a _ which shall not be there ??

I told you to remove "_nosel.gif" not to remove only "nosel.gi" !

[maidos]

I think there is a problem within the ban commands VBDev. When I selected the group "Special registration Group" to have ban access, they seem to have 1/2 the access. /ban show and other ban related commands seems to be not working at all for them. They can ban, but unban would be a problem for them. Could you look in to this?

If the showban function works then the unban function should work too, the permission is handled exactly in the same way.

What makes you think it doesn't work correctly ?

[Ranger187]

VB, the one click install, will it keep the /me /ban commands? If it keeps the existing commands and doesn't allow the creation of new, I see no issues.

[VBDev]

Yes It would. However, the more I think at it the more I think it would be a massive load of work to go backward...

For the moment I think that I will certainly stay as is

And will do it once I have time for it he he !

Did you install commands ? Coz if you don't then you won't see any options in the menu.

Yes i did install it correctly. Works on FF and IE, and in Opera the menus work in the archive page of the chatbox.
