Thing is, this is a shoutbox, not a chatroom. A lot of us are on shared servers and we can't handle resource intensive chatrooms that allow people to refresh constantly while waiting for new chats. A real drag on the system.

If you're on your own dedicated server, why not add a regular chatroom mod?

Is there any way to disable the 'typewriter' effect? I'm trying to make the shouts just appear all at once. Is this possible?

BUG REPORT:

UNMUTE IS BUGGED:

/unmute The Deco:
#9:57 pm GCBOS> The user FF|Skyrider has been muted by FF|Skyrider.

When I did:
/unmute FF|Skyrider

I got:

#9:57 pm GCBOS> The user FF|Skyrider has been muted by FF|Skyrider.

AGAIN..

When I did it again, I got:
#9:57 pm GCBOS> The user FF|Skyrider has been unmuted by FF|Skyrider.

Tried to Unmute someone again, once again It muted me.

I think the "anti-spam" has something to do with it!! Make it so it won't have any effect on admins/mods please

[gothicuser]

Could you please let us know how to

a: Reverse chat display, display newest at the top.

[S]b: kill the typing effect.[/S]

It seems a few of us would like this.

Update: speeded up typing speed, easy would just like to get the newest shout at the top (display top to bottom)

[pitt34]

Shoutbox doesn't show Polish diacritic signs.

Could someone write how to change GCBOS encoding to UTF-8, or any other way to make Polish sings showed properly?
