The VB chat is active now for a few months and our members still love it. Someone had the idea about the textcolor(s)...a profilefield where someone can put hexcolorcode and all his/her text in the shoutbox will be in that specified color.

I tried to put the same field before the $comment as we use in the postings where members can change their textcolors if they wish in the cp. Is this possible?

I didnt take the liberty of reading all 11 pages, but i was wondering if there is any way to have the shoutbox optional so users can turn it on and off?

@RPGSYguile : You can turn your chatbox off, just click on the link and it will be reduced, you don't will be able to chat and will only see the last reply ;)

So it reduces querys executed on your forumhome ;)

To reply and see others answers, just reclick on the link above the chatbox ;)

Is it possible to build code in to ignore users?

Is there any way to give my moderators the ability to delete "shouts"?

The message I get is...

Invalid SQL: SELECT u.username, s.userid, s.shout_text, s.timestamp FROM user u, shoutbox s WHERE u.userid = s.userid ORDER BY s.timestamp DESC LIMIT 1
mysql error: Table 'vbulletin.shoutbox' doesn't exist
mysql error number: 1146

And my sites down.

I deleted the shoutbox table and all shoutbox templates and the site is still down....

What else can I do?

You can insert the part of modifications to make in the Admin CP to you Modo Cp and so moderators of your forum will be able to delete shouts on the Chatbox !! ;)

Is there anyway that this could be added to other forum pages as well as the home page?

Or most requested...let the input update the chat so you won't have to refresh all the time. An update as in digichat, or push pull in java. That would beat the cake. ;)

Ok, I got through the install process and all of the templates are listed and I have the config stuf in the admin CP. However, try as I might, I do NOT have anything in the forums. After reading the thread, I have checked and rechecked the index.php file and I have the last biut of code ABOVE the get template--forum home line. The file permissions on the shoutbox_config.php is 777. Any ideas out there???

As a picture is worth 10,000 words, I have attached the index.php file.....Thanks
