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 did, but I think I'm gonna re-install it again later. Will update how it goes!

I just installed the latest update v10 I think? Everything is working great, but for some reason the /help command doesn't do anything. All the other commands work fine (/pm, /notice, etc), but /help doesn't return the help menu. Any ideas?

I have just reinstalled it, but the chatbox isn't displaying. Already made sure the usergroup permissions are correct. I also added that shoutbox code into FORUMHOME, do I need to add it into FORUMDISPLAY as well?

When I view the source in the main page of my forum, I can see this code:

<script src="clientscript/gcbos.js"></script>

So that means it should be displaying right? I don't get why it just won't appear.

install the new version but note some shortcomings, the command / help is useless, when editing an item in inches is misconfigured, published items are not reflected in the chat, that way you can configured to see the post that users to publish?

hello I am French and I thank you for the chatbox now it works fine except for removing cat

Warning: Parameter 5 to gcbos_command_delete() expected to be a reference, value given in [path]/includes/class_gcbos.php on line 125

Deinstalled!

Sorry, but...... The "Inferno vBShout Pro v2.5.2" has nearly the same functions, but works perfectly without any errors
And it supports custom message colors, bbcodes & smiley box..

I'll stick with this one and wait out the bug fixes. If anything simply because I've seen a few references to that script in other chatbox threads. It's rude and annoying, like your comment.

Thanks

I'm not a coder - I'm an "end user"..

That means for me it's fact that:
one add-on works -> the other add-on doesn't really work
one add-on has the additional features (my users asked for) -> the other add-on doesn't have this additional features

Crap sorry guys i forgot to update the xml to remove references, Its a simple fix for the commands five me a few minutes.

Can some one having the issues with commands try this product file, if i get a reports of this working i will update the main product later, the reasons commands died was to do with the fix's i made for PHP 5.3
