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.

OK I agree - I can't get any of the shoutbox commands to work and I got marked as a spammer in my own shoutbox and now I can't unmute myself. Talk about owned. I turned off the spam controls but I'm still muted. How long do I stay muted for?

[ti07shadow]

it probably mutes users through the database, and thus probably kept you muted.

try typing

/unmute <username>

if not well dont know what to say

also how do i remove the typing function? i just want it to display

[meissenation]

Yeah this ++++ing sucks. It's now hours later and my username is still muted. The /unmute command doesn't work at all for me - at that, NONE of the commands work for me. I can't even use the /me command. I've been having to use another username that I have which is in the Administrator usergroup and has permissions set to "Yes" for every GCBOS usergroup permission and yet I can't use anything.

[meissenation]

FINALLY - Found the database entry in the User table - column ID is gcbos_effects. If muted then it will be 1, if not muted it will be 0.

Thanks for that, meissenation! I've looked around for that myself and couldn't figure it out.

I also discovered that the spam filter in this mod is at fault for muting people. The default settings are very sensitive, and if you type too many messages in a short period of time, you're screwed. Also, if you repeat a word (like someone did on a sports forum) like JETS JETS JETS!! you'll get booted.

I disabled the spam filter until I get a chance to play with the settings. But great find in the db! Good job!

[matryoshka]

Thank alot !!! But , i like smiles . Can you help me?

[ti07shadow]

I like how the commands are done, however I do feel that you should make it when you click the users name it should give you a list menu of like ignore user, mute user, etc. and then in the bar above where GCBOS is you should put like options and in the options drop down it should use list muted users, list ignored, and when you load it mae a popup window which lists the users. keep the commands for good measure

[marcopolo]

Is there a way to define how many lines are displayed, it uses about 10 at the moment, I'd prefer approx 5

Thanks

Any info on the commands not working? This shoutbox has a LOT of potential but there's a few things that I'd love to see changed that would make this the shoutbox to have.

- I'd like the ability to switch to 12 hour format for the timestamp
- I'd like to be able to allow the users to choose their own font color to use and have it be remembered (so they aren't choosing it every single time they send something to the shoutbox)
- I'd like to see a smilies box or popup menu or something.

If you could get the commands fixed so they work and those 3 things this would definitely be a Mod of the Month. I mean the PM system notifying you in the shoutbox is just awesome.
