Yes, I uploaded the files multiple times. However, I just installed the latest revised version and it now works. The settings can now be changed within the appropriate command permissions and the /pm and /team commands appear to be functioning. I am still unable change the permissions within the channels themselves, though this still does not seem to impact functionality.
Coz you can in a channel itself.
Channels are linked to commands so command permissions resides in commands
So all your problem are fixed except the one for chatbox in vba ?

I do enter the shout and press "enter" or click at "ok", but the shout does not appear.
Then, 10 attempts later it works.
What can that be?
Have a nice weekend.
P.S. There are a few other persons that have the same problem in my forum.
I use Firefox 2.0.0.12 ...

3) I have the same old problem with my language, my forums language is in UTF8, both english and greek! Everytime i try to install you language xml file, it messes up everything! Back in 3.6 it ruined some tables and i had the guys from vbulletin.com support to run some queries and fix it!
Now after uploading the file, it doesnt matter which language i choose, english or greek, everything shows up in greek! I Deleted the english language, reinstalled it, still the same, its always greek! I uploaded tools and i've put through the command the default english language, its still the same, in greek!
Phiouuuuu...wish things with this mod were more simple...
I miss the chatbox in 3.6
2/ Known bug that will be fixed

Your english language is utf8 on your forum ?? Then it's normal that uploading the english language file is messing things up.
English language is normally ISO-8859-1 which is what is set in vB by default for its language.
What have you done on your forum to make languages behave like that ? Coz you only tell things but not what leads to the problems.
I also had this question at first. Proceed to ACP-->MGC Chatbox Evo-->General Options and manually remove the content of the Announcement in chatbox field box.

Perhaps I should make a /announcement remove command

Correct! I love this mod, but I also have a great desire to get it working as a page variable in vBadvanced. The center column restriction is not working well with my styles. It also appears to load much slower as a module.
Incidentally, I tried the page variable method with ibProArcade and it works perfectly. When making the necessary edits, I noticed the globalized variables required. On a hunch, I added these variables to ACP-->vBa CMPS-->Default Settings-->Portal Output Global Variables, but unfortunately it still freezes. Are there any other variables that need to be added? I am probably on the wrong track, but I am trying at least.
