No, it's not called search because with search it ONLY shows shouts/chats with the specified keywords and nothing else. meaning you can have a chat above it with the same keyword from a few hours ahead and the same below.

Not what I am looking for. I was sure I made this clear in my post.

As for downloading the archives, I am aware of this but find it inconvenient to download the entire archives and scan the bloody thing vs simply jumping to a position in the archive to see a log of an entire conversation.

Get what I mean?

This works wonderfully in Cyb's chatbox, I was hoping for a similar function here.

You don't happen to have any warnings about templates needed reverted do you?

I cannot see the avatars (see the image below) I thinks the path is wrong, for example:
The avatar path for this user: http://www.gstrail.es/foro/avatars/vintage-%user-id%.gif?dateline=1242495174

I have the avatar path in http://www.gstrail.es/foro/images/avatars/

Where I can change it?

Thanks

Hi !

I didn't manage to get the bot working.

I've set some questions such as "What's up ?" and an answer. But it does not work.
I even done some copy/paste from the "Add a bot phrase"/"question" to be sure it's the perfect syntax but it failed.

What am I missing (Yes, the option is activated)?

I was just wondering if there is some way we can script in a new command?

I run a roleplaying website and it would be a GREAT feature if we could put in a /roll or /rps command that randomly inserts a number or rock/paper/scissors when someone types the command.

Thanks for your help.

Have you set 'can talk to the bot' to yes?
