You may edit messages by double clicking on them (If you have permission to do so), delete messages by clicking on the '#' in front of your messages, send a user a private message by single clicking their name, or speed up/slow down the speed messages are typed at by pressing the 'up' or 'down' arrow keys on your keyboard.

MCS, A simple, easy to understand /help menu would be good for the users, also maybe set it up so they can click down to a sub menu for stuff like all the smiley commands available?

I noticed a few other little things that perhaps can get fixed in the next release.

Are the PM notices displaying for everyone, I am seeing a notice for every single one that users are sending, should it not display the "you have a new private message" only to the receiver of that PM? whats the point in a private message if the name of the message and who it was sent to is displayed to all in the chat box?

The way the notice message loads makes the whole block jump around on load slightly, is it possible to just have it load like any other message in VB instead of the typed out style, also the notice seems to load twice sometimes, especially when I change it from the command line, very annoying.

The who's online location shows everyone on forumhome in GCBOS, can this be set to time out and only if they are using the chat?


Thanks for your hard work on this MOD.

How to fix it?

Change your username markup code use this and change the color to what you wish. Do this per usergroup and it will show up properly. Change what's in red.

Left box:

<span style='font-weight: bold; color: black;'>

Right box:

</span>

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.

Bump for an answer.

Try this...

Admin CP > Languages & Phrases > Phrase Manager

Find "GCBOS" in the list - Click "[Edit]"

Change the value in the textbox to what you would like and save.
