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.

I am trying to remove the "roll" "typing" effect and make new messages appear at the top, does anyone have any ideas how to do this?

I have altered it so when you first load the shoutbox new messages appear at the top but when you post a new one it appears at the bottom, I did this by editing the fetch_messages function in class_gbcos.php

Also waiting for a answer to that, because need unicode for the german umlaute ???? etc.
Also would be interesting to set the font size bigger.

But ok let's wait and see. I used before the MGC Chatbox (not updated now) and never had such Problems like with that mod.

Today the chat disappeared. I can't display it anymore. I reinstalled the latest version, the previous version, deleted old files manually etc. but still no luck.

What's going on???

[kiwi1342]

I fixed with usergroup permission but I canpt understand how it disappeared the first time

update:

I lastly installed the previous version 6.10 but it seems like I have the latest version with alerts on new topics....

well within version 3.x of vbb no problem at all
i am using Shoutbox V2.x
With a new version 4 of vbb it causes a lot of structure code imcompatible
so that's a problem for everyone

How is that a bug? If you look at the readme i added that you have to add the forum id into the filter.... you seriously dont expect me to do it for you?
