awesome thanks! :)
how bout 2 smilies and 300 characters/letters. Would that be possible?

The character limit is easy enough, but the smilie thing is not. I just don't know that part of the system well enough.

then i guess i should remove the smillies. but thats alright.
would I have to edit the shoutbox.php to do that?

That depends on what you mean. Do you want to just remove the clickable smilies, or do you want the vB Code parsing turned off?

i would like the vB Code parsing turned off. that way if people type : ) (without the space) then the smillie wouldnt appear.

but since the vB Code parsing is turned off, then there is no reason to have the smillies on the page, since they cant be used.

so i guess I would have to remove both of them.

Well, it'll turn off ALL vB Code parsing, just so you know. Not just smilies.

Anyhoo, open shoutbox.php and REMOVE this:

Then, in your shoutbox_postshout template, find, and REMOVE, the following:

That should do it.

thanks that did it! :)

Hi,

I am just testing out vbportals, and in this case i want to see the last 10 Shouts and maybe a "Quick-Shout-Box" at the End of a Box.

Has someone got this working or any Idea?

the best shoutbox out there! I can't believe I missed it!

ability to make a shout sticky! For example today is father day, I'd like to wish happy fathers day to all the dads members and keep that up all day long on front page. Once you unstick, then the last one takes over :classic:
