There isn't really a 'best option' for it. It's however you like it/want it.

If you're not sure what a certain permission does, you can drop the question here.

Go to scheduled tasks in your forums admin panel options.

Also look at the /ban command how exactly it works.

Thanks..that solves it... and would you be kind enough to help me out here as well

Not sure what you are trying there. Do you want the chatbox to be visible on a mobile or not?

I just went to your forum and i see that you have different styles installed. That could be the cause of this. You need to add the chatbox variable in all your styles in one of the templates.

I'm not sure if this might fix it, but its worth a try. Also, i don't know exactly how to do it.

Maybe if VBDev shows up again, he can tell you.
