There seems there is currently an exploit in the shoutbox where people can edit posts. I first thought it was one of my mods, but when I was the only staff member on and i was invisible it was still occuring, they were inserting porn pics and making chaos in the shoutbox, I have been using the shoutbox a year now with no problems and now I have had to turn it off.

I got a pm yesterday saying that people can also insert code into your database and cause lots of trouble on your site through the shoubox, so I would love an admin to look into urgently.

Thanks.

Just a FYI, this is great if used sparingly, if it's used like a chat room it will kill the server...we had to remove it from our bigger sites. The first post is correct, it is server intensive...

If you don't let the archive get to big it shouldn't be a problem

I think he was more about talking about the ajax as well, having it refresh to often and having members sit on the index page can be a problem for larger sites. After having to close the shoutbox, I have noticed how much faster my site is now running.

Yes, it refreshes so often... I think the whole problem with server load is not so much that it refreshes, but that it has to pull from teh database everytime it does so. The 2.1 version fixed that by creating a flatfile so the only thing in the database is the archive which is only accessed if you go in it.

I've seen other cms package using shoutbox and ajax and they had the same issue with the load. Their workaround was to insert some code that allow you to change the refresh rate. I think that would be the ultimate addon on this hack at the moment.

Also another sweet improvement would be a lightbox on mouse over the user name displaying quick member information and avatar.

I guess if you don't have that good of bandwith or good host, there can be problems
