Wonderful hack! Installed with no problems :)

I may have missed this reading the thread, but this is what I found.

If you set the minimum allowed characters to any value, 2+

and you type in 1 single character, the post is refused, but your post count increments.

Has anyone else seen this?

This is on VB3.03 with the shoutbox 1.04b

Hi, heres my little problem, one of my users (and only one) cant see the shoutbox : they see it like this (attached)

that is because their browser does not support iFrames...I have had the same problem, since I webmaster 4 boards, I had to change the setting on the shoutbox to non-iframe and everyone then was able to see it...

I also suggest trying to have you members, like I have been doing, to upgrade their browsers to the newest version out since its free!

Firefoxs is still the best to use in my opionion...and I too have had the same problem and my members with IE....have them either change browsers or upgrade to the newest version or just disable iFrames from the shoutbox and make it normal and everyone will then see it with no problems...

I notice a couple of people mention that they can't see the shout box in IE when in iframe mode ...

One thing you can check is any popup blockers or personal firewalls ...
I had the issue where I couldnt see it in iframe mode but others could - after posting like mad in here I looked at my firewall settings and it appears that the iframe was being seen as a popup and was being blocked.
Suggest disable any popup blockers and have them check again - it worked for me.

Thanks

I have had a few members not being able to see the shouts in shoutbox on forum home.

It was their firewall. I will ask them what they altered in their firewall config and what firewall they were running.

how to make the guests to be able to post in the shoutbox?

so far installed, but I have no "shoutbox permissions" in the Usergroup Manager.

missed a template ????

Thanks for help,

is there a way of deciding what smilies can be used?
