as you can see on the broken images, NEW is been inputted into the img scr= tag,

Src=images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels/mgc_cb_evo_pm_new_new_sel.gif
Src=images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels/mgc_cb_evo_pm_new_nosel.gif
Src=images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels/mgc_cb_evo_pm_new_sel.gif

how ever when i entered the following as the image pathway
mgc_cb_evo_pm
it worked.

(but according to your "help" text in the directions, you say
"Name of the channel image
Don't put the file extension nor the sel/nosel suffix."
you should also put NEW in their, along with to disclude the underscore. )

I would assume correctly if you were to apologize

see attached images

Yes that's right, new shall not be added either.

The warning system was introduced after the first release of the chatbox, and seems like I forgot to update that phrase.

I note it right now in the "bug" list.

About the ban problem this seens indeed odd. As your reported me that it wasn't working I have tested it and this was working for me.

Ohh ! Now that I am thinking, you talked to me about pm on ban.

Was wondering if somehow it's not that who causes the bug.

I am at work so can't test but please could you try deactivating the pm on ban and see if it works ?

About the menu, yes you are right this should be change to unban. I'll see what I can do about that but I am not sure it's easy to change that as per regard to the way it's coded but I think I can.

Thanks for your help

1. That one I understand it. So basically, a member would click a button to activate auto messaging and until he doesn't click on it again, it sends a custom message with a frequency defined in acp.
2. I don't see really the need of that and how it would be implemented.
   How would those commands be defined ?
   Give me an example of use please, we are getting to it

lol ok... i guess i have to elaborate more precisely

1. exactly and would be awesome if he could pick the time how often the auto msg should appear on the shoutbox

2. Well i was talking about the soup command

when i type /soup command on the shoutbox... i expect the shoutbox to reply back.

so when i type

/soup

shoutbox reply back with

I want soup

1. With a min. allowed time set in acp would be good no ?
2. Yes that I understood but where do those commands get created ?

1. not really could be annoying if ppl see it so frequently, but would be better if user could change the time for themself?


2. well to avoid any abuse of new commands let the admin create the commands them self..

can u have 2 fields on the admincp. one field to enter that command which the shoutbox will respond to. and the second field is what msg the shoutbox should reply back when commands is being entered on shhoutbox...

oh any news about thhe commands thats open new windows?

[RokuDaMerlin]

i have fix my problem .. work very good thx

About the ban problem this seens indeed odd. As your reported me that it wasn't working I have tested it and this was working for me.

Ohh ! Now that I am thinking, you talked to me about pm on ban.

Was wondering if somehow it's not that who causes the bug.

PM on ban with the syntax, and banning someone from the drop down menu

NOTE: I am using the latest release of this product with the latest release of the commands (not an upgrade)

Maybe it should be investigated that the command is its self buggy with the latest release of the chat box. along with version 3.6.7 of VB

I also installed it this on a clean installation of VB 3.7(test board) and the ban error is not there, so it is most definite that this is a bug for VB version 3.6.7

Compatibility

This hack is compatible with vB3.6.x and vB3.7.x
