Other [Forum-Tip] IPB Shoutbox Commands

BaROCK Obama · January 4, 2015

IP.Shoutbox has several Quick Commands that can be used to make certain actions perform in a faster way. Here is a list that explains how to use them properly:

/announce [Announcement Text] - This will update the announcement in your Shoutbox without having to go to the Admin CP

/archive - Launches the Shoutbox Archive window (only if member has permission to view it!)

/ban [name] - This will ban a member from the Shoutbox (only moderators with correct permissions can use this command)

/moderator member [id|name] - This will launch the appropriate moderator options for that particular member

/moderator shout [id] - This will launch the appropriate moderator options for that particular shout

/prefs - This will launch the Preferences window

/prune [x] - This can be used by only those that have ACP access and will prune all shouts older than [x] days. If no number is entered, a security message will pop-up so you do not accidently wipe the whole shoutbox.

/prune 0 will remove all shouts.

/refresh - This will refresh the Shoutbox (useful if you have your refresh button hidden)

/unban [name] - This will unban a member from the Shoutbox (only moderators with correct permissions can use this command)

/me [Text] – Shows Username + Text
