...and perhaps limit Chars for a shout :D I dont want users to type more than one Line :D
(Looks not good on Forum's home :D )

LOL, I was just about to post about that. hehe

Excellent work

Features left to implement before Beta 6:

Unregister users can shout (with options)
Char limit for shouts

Anything else?

A smilie box in both the shoutbox.php and the quick reply shout maybe

If you know the codes, they work, but for those that dont

I don't see any point in a smilie box on forumhome. And there is already a setting to have one in shoutbox.php.

Yes, there is a link to open the smilies on a seperate page, but the click through like in a post does not work, so you have to copy and paste the code.

as for the one on the forumhome, I see your point :p

Thanks for the reply ;)

There is also a setting to show the smilie box on the shoutbox page, but it's turned off by default, especially now that it is integrated with the textarea. There just isn't a whole lot of room because of the 2 column layout. I'm looking into changing the layout sometime. It'd be a little easier if I actually knew a decent amount of HTML.

nice hack! is there any way to make it refresh (# of secs) on the forumhome?

what I did not find in the screenshots (me==blind ?):
can I limit the amount of shouts per user per day?
I like the box, but my board will be floaded by "advertisment" shouts if I install it without an limitation...

I'll add it to my to-do list for Beta 6. Expect the release tommorow, followed by a fully-phrase Gamma release after followed by the RC release in the Full Releases forum.
