Not sure what you mean ?

Firefox has an error console (Ctrl+Shift+J by default if I recall), which if you click the "Errors" button should show you some JavaScript errors. Right clicking on those errors and copying them lets you paste them in here :)

That's not a vBShout issue, but it may very well be the reason vBShout isn't working.

Try using a default (unmodified) skin, and disable all addons and see if those errors persist.

If they do, please contact vBulletin support, as I have never encountered them before and cannot assist with them :(

I upgraded my vBulletin (4.1.12 P1) and Shoutbox (6.07 Lite) today. For some reason, users that are logged in see all shouts as whatever font color they select for themselves. So if I pick purple as my shout color, everyone's shouts turn purple in my browser. If "joe" picks green, he sees all shouts as green.

Prior to the upgrade, each user could have different colors, helping to discern who was shouting easier. The strange thing is, if I log out (unregistered user), I see the color the other people picked. So Bob's color is red, Joe's color is blue, etc.

My custom themes were destroyed by the vBulletin upgrade, and my users hate bright white, so everyone is using a generic grey generated theme right now until I have time to fix the styles. I'm not sure if this is causing the problem, or if I'm missing some setting in the administration section.

It's not a huge issue, just checking to see if there was a fix I could do to make the different users show up with different colors again.

That the Override Shout Colour setting (a Pro-only option) is being forced on in the Lite version is a bug that will be addressed in the next update :)

Is there any way we can have this showing on all the pages of the forum?

To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
Please note that some locations may not work as intended on vBulletin 3.8, and also note that it is not designed to go in the Forum Blocks side-bar (vBulletin 4).

Hope that helps :)

To make it show on all pages, you'd put the code in the navbar template :)

I just uploaded the latest one and I have a strange color thing also. Admin can't change color but everyone else works just fine.

Please forgive me if this has already been asked but I've been searching for the answer for awhile and can only find how to change the "Shoutbox" title on older versions. How do I change it on v6?
