hey a great version thanks hm i still cant post ??? on the shoutbox though

is it possible to add a command that can load a certain forum page ?

[IR15H]

Un-installed the old version, and installed this new version (with commands) all absolutely fine. Thanks for your hard work .

[maidos]

and is it possible to add the field where u type a wider and higher one

[Henry187]

Is it meant to allow Administrators to view every PM sent in the PM channel, just by clicking the PM channel button? It's annoying due to the fact that I can't tell if someone's trying to send me something, someone else, or even just to themselves.

[Barakat]

works good thanks ...

grrrr.. it doesnt show in the arcade.... what going on?????

The integration in the arcade can only be done by activating the display chatbox on defined pages in a variable (not the one under the navbar).
Here is the process you must follow to achieve this integration :
- Go in the admincp in the "Display and Position" options
- Activate the option "Display the chatbox on defined pages of the forum in a variable"
- In the pages list, add "arcade" and then validate
- Open the arcade/functions/functions.php et search for "function do_output($output_array)"
- After the two line of globals, add : global $mgc_chatbox;
- Finally, edit the ARCADE template and add $mgc_cb_evo_var where you want the chatbox to appear

Seems to have a bug:

As an unregistered user I get this :

28/01 9:55 PM <Lurking Mofo> [color=#]the mail is here[/color]

Why are those odd color tags around the post ? I can NOT find anywhere to edit it out.

Also .. I am unable to get the usergroup default color option to work. Will not allow a selection to be made.
