You got beat for motm by a paltry two votes and a mod that's been around a month longer and had that extra time to get in front of more people. In a way, I'd call that a victory. :)

Installed. Finally.
Been wanting to replace vBShout flatfile for a while now.
I confess to only scanning half of this thread...
My only request?
Is this excellent hack showable on the Arcade yet?

Yup that's quite right thanks for your encouragement.

This will be possible in the version currently under development ! Just wait for a week or two (don't know exactly the release date as it depends from my timetable which is becoming really full some days).

Anyway the progression is quite good so 2 weeks will be a far maximum !

Thank you!
It has been running well all day.
One very minor issue...
I would like to have one usergroup in particular have only 'view' privileges. The 'Unregistered / Not Logged In' group. So I check off yes to only the "Can see MGC Chatbox?" permission,and adjusted the minimum post requirement to zero, just in case.
And it doesn't show up.
However, if I add the "Can use MGC Chatbox?", then, of course, it is visible to guests, and functional, as I did a few test shouts logged off.

Any ideas on that?
One thing I loved about the vB Shout flat file system I had was that it was visible, but unusable for guests.

Looking forward to the new version soon:)

Hum yes that's probably an issue, I put it in the todo list and will have a look at it too.

Is there a way to set the default to collapsed on display?

when i edit the permissions of the usergroups to see the chatbox, it appear that Database Error.

what can i do?

You didn't import both products.

Hum no there isn't actually and I think it would be a mess to code :/

I am getting the following error when trying to open viewtopic.php

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:
