hmm...thanks...but...

when i type it on the shoutbox, i get this

* loves hockey

it doesn't show the username.

also, on the index page, it shows "/ me" instead of the username on the "latest hack" table.

any ideas??

BTW, TWT, you got a great site!

Just curious, how do I make the smilies show up on the main page of the boards. http://www.finheaven.com/boardvb2/

Note that the smilies do show up on the shoutbox page, just not the main forum page.

Also, there is an idiot on our board that likes to post LOOOOONG shouts, is there a way to make the forum home only display like the first 20 characters of the shout on the forum home?

Thanks in advance!

How do I do this part???

CREATE TABLE `shoutbox` (
`shoutid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`userid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`shout_text` text NOT NULL,
`timestamp` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`shoutid`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

Ask your host for command-line MySQL access, or enter it using a MySQL script like phpMyAdmin. If that fails, just ask your host how you can execute a query on your DB.

Thanks for the hack TWTCommish

Or use FireFly's SQL hack :)

This is great... it works fine... but is there any way i could have pop up (like on the random quote hack) where users can submit a shout out from the forumhome???

Thanks In Advance

Yeah, it's perfectly possible...but a little bit of an annoyance. How badly do you want it?

its just a thought... i dont need it ya kno... but i'd like it as i feel it would make a good addition to this hack ...

but if ure busy i wont be heartbroken if you dont make it ;) :D
