Added Pusher for a true real-time mode with real-time edit/delete/prune/who's typing and likes.
Added Open Router API instead of ChatGPT allowing you to use any AI model you want.

Added user group permission to edit header & footer content for non-admins.
Fixed an error in prune cron job due to a recent change.
Added the option to select which ChatGPT model to use for /ai command prompts.
Note: The previous version was wrongly numbered internally and when you upgrade to this one, you will have to use the rebuild method instead which will work just fine.
Added the ability to report shouts and view them in the archive for easy moderation (requires the new Report shouts user permission).
Added the ability to use a predefined user account for ChatGPT responses.
Added the @ before the ChatGPT bot name for easy /ai command insert.
Added the option to edit shoutbox header and footer admin options from the front-end with the ability to use the BB code editor.
Added error log for open AI API to troubleshoot issues.
Fixed an issue with the /ai command response where the user BB code would not work when bb code is disabled.
Added /ai command where uses can ask questions or requests to get automated responses from ChatGPT.
To set it up, add your API key in admin options and set the new user group permission "Use /ai command".
Fixed an issue with room mention page where the buttons to show 10 before/after messages are displaying messages incorrectly.
Fixed an issue with room switch on mobile where page becomes unusable.
Added style property for user mentions where you can style the shout container, text and date.
Fixed a bug with user mention where @ not working when the shout is loaded via AJAX.
When users get mentioned in a shout and they get an alert, it will link to that shout and users will have the option to view 10 shouts before and after the shout they been mentioned in.
Fixed an error on the archive page for users who don't have the permissions to view the staff room.
Added "Staff room" feature where staff members with the permission can switch from "public room" to the "staff room" to chat in private. The archive will display both public and staff room shouts for those with permission.
Made code improvements and removed almost 1 KB of JS code.
Added an admin option to start chat collapsed for first time users.
Fixed an issue with active user list on the dedicated page where the list will load only when it refreshes.
Added admin option to reset user shout count when shouts are pruned.
shouts.json used in "Real time mode" will now be created when the option is enabled to pass file health check validation.
Added "Real-Time" mode which allows you to improve performance and server load by calling a JSON file on the server every second, instead of querying the database every x seconds, handling more active users at the same time and performing shout edits and deletes almost instantly.
Please note that while using this option, shouts will be accessible to anyone (who knows what they are doing), so do not use it if you want total privacy.
Also, if bandwidth is a server limitation on your web hosting plan, this option will increase bandwidth consumption.
New Features
Added active user list - Will display a simple list of active users at the bottom of the shoutbox that will refresh every minute.
Added top user list - Will display a list of top x users based on their number of shouts. By default 25 and can be changed from admin options.

Made some changes to auto "loading more shouts" feature to require "View archive" permission.
Allow only admins to ban moderator/staff users.
Added shout action links into a menu.

Fixed an issue where auto loaded shouts have a glitch with action items (edit/delete/ban) on the shouts.
