oooh, no, I didn't. ;) I'll try that, thanks. ;)

unfortunately i even cannot do the sql queries, i get a mistake message.
And i don't want to install another hack ( htl ) for this hack.
Too bad.

Actually, since there isn't any support for this, and there are so many complaints...I don't think I'm going to bother with it. I don't see how it is any different than the BVFull shoutbox that while too, has no support, at least works and is easy to install. They look the same too. I have that other one installed here: www.onlinedebate.net/forums/

I had a lot of trouble with this also after upgrading my system from 3.0.1 to .3.0.3. Here is how I delt with it...

Go into phpmyadmin and check for any tables or table entries that have been made, modified or created from the hack (shoutbox 1.03) and drop them. (there are some in User Group & User Tables as well as Shout tables created by the hack) What I did was just keep trying the install and copied the errors and then went to the db and dropped what ever was hassling me. It worked and I actually fixed a # of my previously installed hacks that got screwed up after a vb upgrade this way, Not a very user or Admin friendly way but it got the job done and server and BB are running great.

Good Luck...
Peace...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm... Why are Hack reinstalls such a problem...

wow, i'm getting that nothign showing up on the forum home error :(

I resisted putting this in for a long time and now I wish I had. It's like a chat room for chitchat on the main page. Brilliant.

i forgot to edit the index :o

why doesnt this work with Mozilla Firefox? It works fine for me in IE but not FF and a couple of my users including myself uses FF!

I use it on my site and I use FireFox and it works fine for me.

I finally caved in, gave up on this one and went with BVShoutbox Full. I use vbadvanced CMPS, and was able to port the shoutbox over to the main page: www.onlinedebate.net

I suppose the same could be done for this shoutbox...but I didn't have any success with installation.
