getting same error message, while trying to give warning to users through normal thread

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare gcbos_command_impersonate() (previously declared in /home/xxxx/public_html/myboard/includes/class_gcbos.php(49) : eval()'d code:22) in /home/xxxx/public_html/myboard/includes/class_gcbos.php(49) : eval()'d code on line 35

Cannot redeclare gcbos_command_impersonate()

Just a thought, but as a temporary fix, have you guys tried disabling "Can Impersonate Other People" in the usergroup settings?

[e36freak]

The new version was not running proberly on my webpage - getting the same errormessage as some other uses reported. I changed the changes back to the old version 0.6.10 - now it works again.

"Display an Alert on a new topic" this is nice....

can you modify this that all Answers to a Topic Display in Chat ? Also only a Message User xxx has post in Thread XXX ?

Yes, if you read the last page you already saw me get chewed out for missing theses options. AdminCP>Settings>Options>GCBOS> at the bottom you can turn off topic alerts or list forums you don't want included. However, there is currently no way to turn off the PM notices.

This shoutbox is okay. It would be nice to see it have a lot more qualitys when it comes out of beta. For example more like Inferno.

I'm getting the following error, it just repeats itself. I am unable to post a shout:

Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/futu32k/public_html/gcbos.php on line 3


Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in [path]/includes/class_gcbos.php on line 3

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/gcbos.php:3) in [path]/gcbos.php on line 143

What settings do I need to change on my VPS server to fix this?

Edit: Nevermind, fixed it!

**REQUEST!**

May I make a suggestion that you PLEASE add a sound notifier for the chatbox, when something is posted in chatbox, such as a new thread/post/or simple text by a user, a sound is played.

This is helpful if you're not looking at the site at the moment and maybe waiting for someone to go onto the chatbox or w/e your cause is..

Possible to do this?
