I am also having this problem - I have gone through your instructions numerous times to try to get the chatbox to show on our Arcade page, and it won't!!! It was appearing correctly prior to the last 2 updates. Can you PLEASE have a look at it? We're getting complaints from our members.

Also, is there a reason you removed the option to have the chatbox in the Archives? I thought that was a great option!

You haven't uninstalled the mgc chatbox (previous version of the chatbox) before installing this chatbox.

You have to remove the files of the previous chatbox and then activate debug mod and rebuild bitfields manually.

I'll have a look as soon as I'll have time (which is not easy ).

About the archives, I removed it because there were incompatibilities between the chatbox and the archives.

I'll rework that in an upcoming version.

[soniceffect]

I seem to be having the same issue as Admiral was on banning users.

I ban people, they show up in the ban list, however they can still use the shoutbox.

[VBDev]

Do you have any other specific options on the forum ?

Have you done a new install or was it an upgrade ?

[soniceffect]

new install after uninstalling your previous version... Using 3.6.8 PL2 btw

Not sure what you mean by specific options...... If you mean commands then I have the team, /me, announce, chat removal and ban users

Settings for usergroup I'm trying to ban are

can view = yes
can use = yes
can manage own = yes
can manage chatbox = no
can view archive = yes
can view if min not reached = no
show prompt = yes
min posts = 20
posts per day = 0

-----------------------------------------

Let me know if you need any other info I can provide
