Just installed and my problem is that everything shows up on default page but not on my other skin missing arrow down on action icon in post. Doubled checked my misc folder and it is in there. Can someone guide me on how to correct this. Thanks in advance Dave

[Ranger187]

Did you copy the /images/misc/mgc folder to all the skins dirs? If it's on the default page and not the other skin, it's either you didn't copy the images to the CORRECT skin dir, or template hacks... I'll guess on image dir.

Have you set usergroup permissions ?

[butch3r]

Ok, translation done. Version 1.0 is attached here. Only /Commands and /Lang folders. Demo at aLc0-crew

[Steve-EFC]

I've installed it and set the permissions, however when visiting the page, it just says loading but never gets to the shoutbox itself

what could be wrong?

[butch3r]

Did you change any files? i got the same problem when i edited some phrases in lang file

I just installed this mod. It''s bit complicated, not user friendly to set up.

How do I create the commands to ban users, chat announcements, and private chats as in the screen shots? Is there a manual?
