Thanks VBDev, it's very kind of you. But another thing that is strange is that the menus work great in the chat archive page.
That's not necessarly strange, the way the menu is handled in the archives is different from inside the chatbox.

I don't win from much installs
I think I'll do it but what's a bit less fun is that if I do so, I'll have some dilemmas :
Team command will disappear as it will now correspond to creating a new channel is that a problem ?
How to handle the pm command ?
Only as a specific channel ?
Or having the possibility to either activate it has a channel or has a command in the general channel ?
This change in the chatbox will force me to create an installer for the first release between the old 0.x.x versions to the new 1.x.x version as commands won't be handled as they where before. But I don't think that it's a major problem

Trust me, there is something wrong here.
But if you try that with your admin usergroup with these rights it works ?

Is it possible to view the pm in the channel where users do the pm ?
example : I create 1 channel, then in the channel i pm 1 user. The pm will visible in the channel where i am. Right now, the pm appears in the general channel

Yes, then it works fully. The ban doesn't work properly with custom usergroups. Like, one you created yourself and you select that usergroup within the ban option menu to select who can use the ban commands. It works fine with moderators, super moderators and admins, just not custom usergroups.

Perhaps your styles uses opacity css parameter ?
im using the latest version of the arcade ibProArcade v2.6.7.. the 0.4.0 MGC is working...

example : I create 1 channel, then in the channel i pm 1 user. The pm will visible in the channel where i am. Right now, the pm appears in the general channel
Thank's
Yes but still you can create a dedicated channel for it.
But your point is interesting, I could make the command work in any channel ! But no more in only a dedicated one (general channel or pm channel).

Thanks for an update VBDev, translation to russian in progress.
I have a question/report:
users can ban themselves (i ban myself), but how can they undo that?

They can't (bitwise it would be stupid to ban yourself ). Only another user with ban rights could unban them.
