3.0.0 will work fine to! wished I had never updated to 3.3.0 and MGC should make that older version available again at least until they get it working correctly. By the way the drop down boxes work in Chrome.

I think the issues with 3.3.0 are... due to not enough beta tests done. Obviously changes need made in quality control and addressed because previous releases had less bugs.

VBDev has been super busy working on the VB5 alpha version (it's not even beta) and other activities but he said he'd have more free time to work more on it.

I reverted back to 2.4.2, it works for me.

I would like to move the channels Icons to the chatbox header, has anyone done this and would you mind sharing your edit?

Also, you can only swicth channels in full chat, what would I need to do to get the channels to show in small chat box?

Thank you.

There is no temp ban that I know of.

Make sure you have the ban feature enabled: AdminCP > MGC Chatbox Evo > Manage commands > Ban

Make sure that's enabled, and that the usergroup you want to be able to use that feature is enabled.

/ban show , or type /ban and the full list shows.

I saw in the help section that you can. When you are typing your text in the chatbox press backspace when it is empty and there is a temporary ban option. Here look:

Then that's the only options you have.
