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.

So is there ANY way to rename the header at the top not to read "GCBOS" of this mod?

That name means nothing to people... I'd like it to read "Shout Box"

[RedTrinity]

Could someone please tell me how to stop/disable this product from showing up as a location on the who is online list?

The problem I'm having is that because I have it added to my forum header (so it appears on every page), it lists members almost constantly as viewing/using the shoutbox, instead of their true location ie. what section/thread they are viewing.

Thanks in advance

Actually this mod rocks but, unfortunately it uses iconv to convert from/to utf, and I don't have it in my server and I cant risk recompiling php via shell for it..
So the mod uninstalled now, and bye bye dardacheh.... فهو لا يدعم العربيّة

Admin - Languages & Phrases - Search in Phrases

In the search box enter - GCBOS and click find

It then shall list lots of info with the GCBOS

Find the 1 that ONLY says - GCBOS

Click EDIT

And change to whatever you want and save

Anyone?

needs an option for standard dimensions. Needs basic codes such as bold, italic, font.

Smileys are preferred inline right above or below the box.
