Others have used a guide on their forums before, though O.o

I don't know why you'd get that error then, it's working fine on 4.0.3 on DBTech and many others.

vbshout.php?instanceid=1 for the default instance. But the "detached" (standalone) shoutbox is a Pro-only feautre.

Do you have a link for one? Because I cannot find one.

<a href="http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40023" target="_blank">http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40023</a> - instead of going to settings, go to Instance Management.

the error still exists, and the shoutbox doesn't show up at all.

Does the error only show on vBAdvanced pages? If so, then it's caused by vBAdvanced's hacked method of creating a front page and it's nothing I can help with I'm afraid :(

I'm also unable to help with how to get it to display on vBAdvanced because I don't run vBAdvanced on any of our sites, so you'll have to ask on their support forums to get it to work properly.

It only shows up like that on the home page, that's the only page.

Then it's a vBAdvanced conflict, is your vBA version up to date as well?

Beyond that there's nothing more I can do I'm afraid :(

K well last issue hopefully, when i load my forums page, i show up as idle right away and have to click "here" to show up as active.

How to fix it so that i show up active right away?

There's a setting for that, check "Idle Timeout" in setting->DragonByte Tech: vBShout - Look & Feel Options".

Also check the "Instance Management" section of vBShout in the adminCP, then click "Edit permissions" and make sure you setup everything there. One of the options is "Is Auto Idle"

On the latest version there is a scroll bar where the channels show. It shows up on IE and chrome, its on ff but no bar.
