For those having problems with the shout box using too many resources I would check out the 2.1 version found at www.vbhackers.com as it uses a flatfile instead of pulling directly from teh database.

I really love the time stamp feature almost a must to have. What gets me is that this just started happening in the last week or so. Its been installed on my board for quite sometime now. And I went to look at the other one you posted. Why does he claim that VB broke this version? The other version doesnt seem like it has any other benefits other than being flatline. I have this version running on a few sites without any issues of this nature.....

I did just read that my host upgraded the MySql could that be a cause?

The time stamp can be hard coded in to the shout box, and a user has explained how to in the vBShout 2.1 thread at vbhackers.

The whole advantage is the flatline, which in my opinion, is a lot better solution than directly accessing the shouts from the database, and will be 1/10th the resource hog. The moment I installed it, I noticed this.

Highly unlikely, mine was the same way. It could be because you have not cleared your shout archive lately.



That's between ZT and vB admins. I do not have any information on this.

Ok awesome as long as I have the time stamp I am happy. I will check it out I thank you very much for the info.

How do I clear the shout archive?

PS. I was just curious as to what was going on didnt expect you to have the info.....lol

To clear your shout archive type '/prune' into the shout box and hit enter. ;)

/prune will do the job /prune username will prune selected members :)

I did that no change. Thanks for the info though. I guess I'm going to have to install the other version I still havent seen the info on the time stamp but I will find it

Hi. When I write the " on my shoutbox it compare "
Why?

I had the new version installed and all I can say is WOW this version here should be taken down what a resource hog. My host sent another email this morning thanking me for taking care of the issue so fast.... And I had someone install it which made it that much easier... To that person THANKS you know who you are.......

I think your time stamp issue is now solved :)
Still running good on the site?
