So if I sound in the chat box to activate it when standing on all activated.

I wanted to make but so that I can activate it and all the sound is turned off.
Everyone can change his profile ..

Also, I wanted all the Chatbox to have sound enabled are disabled.

Hi, great chatbox!!

Everything is installed and working fine as far as I can tell. What I'm wondering is whether there's a way of setting up a scheduled task to download the archives at a specific time during the day/night?

Thanks in advance for your help

Thank You For Your Reply VBDev. :up:

VBDev, could you Please in your Next Update Offer the following 2 Choices :

1. To be able to Use the Message Text Field Editor as BBCode or as WYSIWYG.

2. To be able to Use the Color, Bold, Italic, and Underline, Options to be Applied to a Selected Text or to All the ShoutBox Text of the Editor Text Field.

Both of them to have the 2 mentioned Choices, so that we Admins can Choose the Ones Our Users would like Better.

I Hope You Can Offer Us this 2 Choices in Your Next Update, VBDev.

My Best Regards.

VBDev: I know I asked the question at your forum but since there a lot more people here, I wanted to find out if i was the only one having this...
