Changelog

New

• Fully compatible with phpBB 3.2
• Added numerous mChat settings to the UCP
  • In order for administrators to have more control over mChat features a set of new user permissions has been added. These permissions control the ability of the users to adjust mChat settings.
  • If a user has permission to customize a certain setting, the setting is displayed in the user's UCP.
  • If a user does not have permission to customize a certain setting, the setting is not displayed in the user's UCP. Instead, the value as specified in ACP -> Extensions -> mChat -> Global user settings is used for this user.
  • To check a specific user's permissions, go to the Preferences form for this user in the user management section.
• Added character count when typing a message
• Added support for style Metro Blue
