Is anyone else having an issue with notification sounds periodically playing (maybe every minute or two) even if no shout is posted?

After install I can no longer edit posts. The menu box pops up when I click on the name in the shoutbox but it closes out so fast you don't have time to click on the edit post link.



Anyone else having this issue?

Is there an option in this shoutbox to choose what usergroups can us the PM function?
Thanks

vBShout v6.2.12

Changes to Existing Features:

• Greatly improved performance for the shout counter re-calculation ran after deleting an instance or a chatroom, or pruning a user?s shouts

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 :)

This is a Pro feature.

This is working as intended, you can turn off the shout sound (leaving PM sounds on) to get rid of this.

Increase the time between refreshing the SB to a more sensible value, I recommend 3 or 5 seconds at minimum.

There should be an option in the Instance Manager :)

Hmm, I replaced my other chatbox with this since you said it has options for PM permissions per usergroup, but I don't see a setting for it. Am I looking past it? Here are the options I see under instance;

Can View Shoutbox
Can View Archive
Can Shout
Can Edit Own Shouts
Can Edit Others' Shouts
Can Prune
Can Set Sticky
Can Ban
Can Search Archive Is Auto Idle
Can Create Chat Room
Is Protected Group
Can Moderate Chat
Show Moderator Actions
Can Toggle Invisible

Thanks!

I checked the code just now, and it turns out that UG permission is a Pro-only feature. Sorry :(

With 70+ products, it's hard to remember the complete feature list and what's Lite and what's Pro for each of them :(


Fillip

:( Bummer. That's the one feature I really needed to match the one I was replacing. I don't know if it's worth the cost of the pro though, not needing all the other stuff. :\

That.. actually kind of makes me sad. Users have been asking me about that.
Is it possible in the future to have it optional to maybe not produce notifications unless something is actually said? It also lights up the tab. Just a bit awkward to me is all.

That worked. Thanks
