I posted an XML file that should fix it, once i can get onto my webserver i can test it. For some reason FTPd and ssh have crashed so im waiting for a power cycle :P

I would like to suggest three very needed on my forum features, to this mod:

First, I would be good to add possibility of secret speaking (speaking to selected in VB Options usergroups) like /team in MGC EVO Chatbox

Another would be editing of shouts, and adding the archive.

Wow im so happy that this works with 4.0

Set it for admins, and it works fine.

Sorry for my ignorance.

Btw, where in the GCBOS template do you change the name in the shout box?

I tried where it says Forum title, and changed the GBOS text, but what I changed it to didn't show, , nor did the GCBOS.

Same here but I have learned that I get no replies as I asked this very same thing yesterday.

Weird.. When ever I use /listmuted, it shows nothing.. is this normal?

[Charlie98902]

I am not sure FF|Skyrider I have yet to play with any or all the command functions.

Just do a search in templates for "GCBOS" and change whatever instances look like the ones you want to change.

I haven't checked, but it could also be in phrases, so do a search in phrases for that as well.
