Perhaps it will work if you upload the files lol. Honestly, please read the install instructions before asking questions, you'll see that you must have missed a step.

i really dont know how to do that

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'arcade' || (THIS_SCRIPT == 'arcade' && $_REQUEST['do'] != 'play')) 


where in this line i must put urls to block chatbox

PHP Code:

/arcade.php?&do=viewtournaments
/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&module=settings
/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&module=favorites
/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&module=report
/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&module=league

I've tried to activate the text color, per usergroup as you have it set up, but the selector isn't working and I can't get a color other than white to use in the chatbox.

How do I fix the color selector in each usergroup???

[habanero68]

Hi, I am confused. I just want to upload information from my forum. And I can not enter. And recover the information, and could put up again.
Thanks, and we apologize for the inconvenience

What you wanted is to show the chatbox only in a particular game no ?

This is a known bug, I have corrected it in the next version which will be release at the end of the week (at least I hope !).
