Can anyone send me the TEMPLATE edit? I have it installed but can't get it to actually work... (The forum Home was reset.

Is there a quick easy way to change the background colour of the shoutbox where the shouts appear, and where refresh/archive is linked? I've tried fiddling with the some of the code, but no joy as of yet..

I only ask because it seems to let in the background of the skin I'm using, as it transparent, and the background is quite dark, so can't see the text..

Any help would be appreciated :)

Can remove the background, but I haven't figgured out how to change color.

Thanks very much :) After a lil bit of tweaking, I think I have it acceptable!

Again, thanks ^^;;

This shoutbox works on 3.0.8 Take a look

are you sure?

Well click on the link above and take a look :nervous:

TTG, You have been the saving grace of this entire hack.

I like many others have sat here for HOURS (seems like a day and a half) trying to get this hack to work. I was beginning to think VB.org should start a thread called, Hacks to Avoid.

Suggestions before you install this hack or any hack.
BACK UP YOUR DATABASE.

'cause there's always the option to drop a the whole thing and put its replacement on there.

This particular hack has caused me SOOOO many hours of drama its ridiculous. But somehow, miraculously I got it to work. (i read 13 pages of this thread last night and the other 12 this morning), something caught my eye, and now it works.

after so many previous problems with it though, i still have my trusty backup on standby.

ready to use it need be.

Thanks again TTG

Awww shucks .. ya'll have me blushin' :rolleyes: just been lucky with the dozen installations I've made for folks !?

If anyone has this installed on 3.0.X and is thinking of upgrading to 3.0.8 .. the templates will need reinstalling and as the install file doesn't provide the option of simply reinstalling templates, I've attached 'em for ya.

If you have problems readin' them, use wordpad.
