I really don't see if it would increase pageload - it would just take one more row selected from the datastore and then try to make a dropdown box out of it...

On a unrelated note, I am pretty sure that I have got all the English out of the templates and files now and into the phrase system. Once I create an installer, I'll package it up and release it.

unless i miss understood. he wants to add a dropdown that has the smilies in it?

so it qould increase pageload time for each smilie that would get displayed

what if he makes it were you can limit how smilies show up there

still users on 56k would expirece a slowdown, i do think the best bet would be to call the smilies list

if it was a pop up, would it cause much stress on a 56k user?

Sorry, I was confusing serverload and pageload.... bah, I need some caffeine. ;)

well if it gets into its own new window then its their choice.

if is forced on the page it makes your site less accessable as a first time visitor already has to download much

I have finished steps 1-3 of the install script for both a clean install and an upgrade from 1.0 Gamma 1. Attached are screens.

Looks good :) You say you've finished steps 1-3 - how many steps will there be?

I'm not sure. Probably around 6, and then a 7th optional step to convert data from TWTCommish's vB2 shoutbox if you still have the shoutbox table and its data from vB2.

what if i have the other shoutbox here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59602, could there be an upgrade from that?

To make an converter is rather a headache,
nobody will code it for you, have to hire someone.

I will code it. I already have one made for TWTCommish's, Black Vivi's shouldn't be much harder (in fact, it should be easier if anything). It's just a simple query and then a while loop and another query to insert the data.

thanx for the time you spend on it and I really appreciate it, it would not be a problem if you don't make a converter for it

Expect RC1 to go out tonight. It'll be fully phrased and it has a new install/upgrade script (no more phpMyAdmin needed).

How many chat scripts are there at this moment?
Could this be made more of the chat, than the shoutbox, because it's even more dynamic?

Dont know... But me an my users love this one.
The ones just want to shout use the forumhome, the others use shoutbox.php (chat :D )...

This Script is perfect.... if you ask me :D

I'll be releasing RC1 in about 15 minutes.
