Love the new update, thanks. Your copyright is really small though, I can barely read it. I think it an be a little bit better readable. Also, replied to make a small bug report:

All posts/threads that are set to "moderation" is being displayed in the chat box. All moderated posts shouldn't be displayed by any of the normal members in my opinion ^^_. I've double checked it, it also shows for public users:

<Anonyme> Created thread : ???????? ?????? ???!

While the thread is "waiting to be accepted".

Another feature wish:

In the new version there is a global option, that users hear a sound when there is a new shout.

Wouldn't it be better when each user could decide theirselves if they want to here this sound?
Maybe with a command?
/sound on
/sound off

In fact, there is already an option for that.
Each user can turn on/off sound forum their "UserCP - > Edit Options"

But I agree with you, it could be easier.
May be with a button on the chatbox???

That option is already there in each one CP. Just enable the option in the MGC CP.

I can assure you PNG files are showing on my forum. I'll test it again in the ChatBox again and report later.

I had refresh everything and it happened maybe 3 times. But since then, it did not happen again. I'll cross my fingers.
