Installed the new version on vb4.01. No probs, and thank you.

Is there a option to shout a first post in the chatbox, like:

Calimero: Has just post: vBulletin 4.01 on (link here)

And incl. option to closed out some forum id's?

You don't need different version.

You just need to REVERT product templates.

Check twice that those users are really banned. They should be:
- marked as 'username*' in CB
- listed in 'Banned Users' field in product options
- listed in 'Banned Users' field in CBArchive/CBFull menu
I'm talking about common users... NOT ABOUT BANNED ONE!
The option to deny users to edit theyrs messages is a must have for security

Last one trouble about:
A user do something in chat, another user told him but the user starts with fu***g god and a lot other, when a moderator come in the chat, the user modified all post and told to the moderator that it's not true, that he have't never said "f***g god" or that he do other of wrong... We know the true only because the user that called the mod, he got a screenshot of the chat.

Added in 3.1.2.

Normally, this is fine (and good). However I have a lot of shouts and like to read back and get caught up on what's going on. Every 10 seconds, it refreshes and jumps you back to the bottom/top of the screen.

Could be configurable as to whether or not you want this, or maybe something like after 25 refreshes, then it does it. So people don't get trapped higher up in the scroll and not know it. Anyway, I've had a few users ask for this, and I myself would like to see it as well.
Same here, I'd really like that function.. some of my users are asking me about it.

Personally, I don't want my users to be able to PM. So if you add that function, please make it an option in the admincp, so it can be disabled site wide.

Also, I would really like it if there were a way to set two parameters (instead of just one) for the auto-pruning of messages. I would like one to control the amount of time the post is displayed for all to see, and the other to control the amount of time the post is viewable by the Admin for accountability purposes.

For example, I would personally like the posts to just be viewable on the website for an hour, after that time, the users having that converstation are gone, and in my mind there is no reason to keep broadcasting their discussion. However, to protect from abuse, I would like the system to retain all posts for a period of one week, so it doesn't become a "he said / she said" match when claims of abuse are reported. That way the Admin can go and look at exactly what was said and take the appropriate actions.

That's my 2 cents! Thanks for a great mod!

Jeff
