Is there away of banning certain words from appearing.

Thanks in advance. :squareeyed:

This chat box uses the forum's post system, ie. tags that can be used in posts can be used in the chatbox. This is not confirmed but I think that the swear filter may be in effect too :ermm:

Why not just close it off to guests?? See above post :nervous:

Hi Mastar,
I don't know about the AdminCP integration but I could make a standalone PHP file that administrators only can use to edit their chatbox if that would help... :ermm:

From my current knowledge of how vB works, I think you have to go through the permissions of certain usergroups, what I don't know is how we get the Chatbox to show up in these permissions... :nervous:

Hello again Mastar, I will try my best although results cannot be guarenteed :nervous:

I will get to work on it ASAP, currently just working on my whole new Bulletin Board system, MageBB

hmmmmm

I've installed this... but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to prune messages... it would be nice if at every interval the script would just prune messages that are either older than X hours/days/weeks or if there are more than X messages in the chat...
