Sorry for the late-ish reply...
I don't see a "minimum posts limitation" setting.
I have "shouts to display" set to 75, and "minimum time between shouts" set to 3.

One of the people who can't see the box has a completely up to date gaming computer, so that makes it stranger that he can't see it.

Here's the canned reply for putting the SB in a custom location:

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).


Now instead of editing ALL skins, edit only the skin you want THIS shoutbox to appear in.


Ah, sorry that's a Pro-only option, my bad :(

Then I have no idea.

Are there any common denominators between the users who report they can't see it? Using a particular skin, all members of the same usergroup(s), etc?

Great!!! Worked perfect.. now how would i go about removing the VSA Chatbox from that particular skin.. Its now showing both chatbox on top of each other..

That, unfortunately, I have no idea about as I've never used that mod :(

Hello,

which stylevar use DBTech for font-size? I have a really smal font-size on my them and i want to make them bigger but dont know how.

Maybe you can tell me the font-size, which vBShout use?

Is there a way to have all the files served as part of this mod to only be served to members that are logged in?

The reason I ask is because my site usually has a number of guests online, and guests cannot view the shoutbox. Even though the shoutbox is completely disabled for guests, a number of files still load for guests including:

dbtech_vbshout.css
dbtech_vbshout_colours.css
dbtech_vbshout_editor.css
jquery.tmpl.min.js
vbshout.js?v=610

They are not very big files, but they are still 3 additional CSS and 2 additional Java files that each person must load, on every page.

im getting a db error when i try to install it any suggestions

It's not using a stylevar, just the normal forum's font size.

It's 11px. Changing the size per-user is a Pro-only feature :)

Permissions for viewing the Shoutbox is not available by the time the files have to be added to the page, I believe.

Additionally, each person do not have to load them on every page, as the browser's cache will have cached the files thus making the effective time to load them zero :)

Yeah, post the error message :p
