We had to postpone it due to the upcoming release of the shop mod, but it's not been forgotten.
I have no exact date atm, but hopefully some time the following week :)

Hope this release will fix the load issues and run smooth as inferno vbshout .

I know this is probably a really stupid question, but is there some way I can change the color of the "Active Users" button and the box where you input the text? (please see attachment)

I'm really loving this shoutbox, but the white areas are too bright for my theme ;__;

Thanks so much for this awesome shoutbox, and for taking the time to read this ^_^

I believe it's input_focus_background or something like that, a stylevar.

Tab colour can be changed in dbtech_vbshout:colours.css

Thank you so much!! :D

The shoutbox is at top of every page? How do you only have it on main page?

By default it's only on top of the index.

Go to Instance Management -> Edit -> change the relevant setting to have "index" for script name only, and it'll only show up on the forum home.

Fixed thanks :)

After a couple days simmering in Beta sauce over a low flame, vBShout v5.3.0 has now been released.
This is purely a performance update, and brings changes in the way BBCode is handled and also how the AOP system functions.

BBCode will now parse when -saving- shouts instead of when -fetching- them, greatly reducing the strain on your server from having to parse 20 (or however many shouts you display) every load.

The AOP system will now be up to 80% faster* in checking whether new shouts have been posted and will also use a greatly diminished amount of resources in this check.

Furthermore, caching on Chat Rooms have been improved, eliminating 1-3 queries (depending on context) from each request.

* Based on a comparison of AOP fetch times on 5.2.3 and 5.3.0 on DBTech's server and my development computer.
Lowest AOP fetch time recorded: 26ms (5.3.0) vs 1.0s (5.2.3)
Highest AOP fetch time recorded: 224ms (5.3.0) vs 1.45s (5.2.3)
Your mileage may vary. This is in no way, shape or form a guarantee that your server load will go down by 80%.

Excellent! Thanks guys :)
