Shoutbox questions

Okay now that I see people have used it these questions are already answered... nevermind.

Where in the forum will Shoutbox posts appear?
Is it for questions or comments to Admins?
What will happen when I use the Shoutbox?

Any registered user can use the Shoutbox to just say "Hi", make a quick comment or ask a quick question. The shoutbox refreshes automatically so its *almost* an IM conversation.

On the Forum page you have access to more of the editing features, like Bold, changing the font, color, etc, and VBCode can also be used (URL tags, etc).

Of course, any abuses are treated the same way they would be on the forums, so flooding the forums, or using inapprorpiate language is not permitted.

In general, its just another feature we'd thought we'd include for everyone to use.

hey we need a scoll box for the shout box so we can see past posts, just a thought

You Can See the Past Posts:

Here is how it is done.....

Click on the Word Shout Box....

It should take you to the archive of all the shouts and you can look through them...

Here is a link to the archive of all the shouts http://www.visionsfantastic.com/foru...php?do=archive

I was going to add "and timestamps" but I see they're in the archive too. Good catch, sorcerormickey.

i think i found a bug, if someone is viewing the main page of the forums it says the are viewing the shout box, you should fix it and make it say forums

Chris · 11-21-2005, 12:28 PM

Yes, that's a bug in the Shoutbox itself and there is no work-around for that at this time.

Chris · 11-21-2005, 12:52 PM

I think the author of the 'hack' is working on it.
