Thanks for the tutorial ^^

[كونان2000]

Thanks  @YoshiGM  ^^

update
Now it works on phpBB3 version

[كونان2000]

Now it works on all versions

[Mihai]

Cool little trick, but a little advice from a romanian to you: fix the avatars that are going inside for phpBB and ModernBB... and activate your windows also, please

P.S: for phpBB / Modern version, you should move the date and time to the right (and keep the username colored only)

P.S2: maybe an icon for delete / hide , and the title of chat forum?

No problem

Btw instead of the old icons, you can use the new ones - https://fontawesome.com/start

Code: <script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/0d6d0ed5ab.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

One more thing...

This trick allows you to make the forum founder's visitor messages look like a public chat.
visible to members and guests

What will happen if you have staff and you talk about something secret, and the guests will see?

If you activate the chatbox integraded by forumotion, you need to make an account in order to see the messages...

Also dont forget: You need an account, to send a private message... as guest you cant at all: https://prnt.sc/xlETJRBPN262

What will happen if you have staff and you talk about something secret, and the guests will see?

hmmm ..I don't think staff will talk about confidential things inside the chat
If they do, they can hide or delete the message

[SLGray]

I would say that staff would talk in private forums or in chatbox channels.

[Mihai]

I would say that staff would talk in private forums or in chatbox channels.

But the thing is this chatbox is visible to all visitors, and there is not chatbox channels, only one visible to all guests

P.S: To the creator of this tutorial, why did you hide your indentify? its not like police is coming to your house, because you did something bad... ah ah
