Test it out. Disable your shoutbox for 24 hours and see if you and anyone else can notice a difference. On my site (of approx 1,000 users), there was a significant difference. It started "lagging" when I installed it, but didn't think much of it. It increased as the shoutbox grew to be more popular. I remove it, and now it runs much smoother.

What about reducing the refresh rate? Make it only update every couple mins or simply on page load or after a shout was made. That (im my mind) would eliminate the constant polling of multiple members and take the pressure off the server.

i thinnk there should be an automatic dump of the shoutbox archive after x peroid of time.

In examining the stats of the bandwidth usage, even reducing the refresh to 20 seconds didn't help that much. Any less than 20 seconds and the delay is causing it to not be utilized, so it just refreshes for nothing.

I've disabled it for now until this one gets tweaked or until someone else comes out with a shoutbox that's functional and without so much downside.

Oh I never noticed about making the server like to go down or slow. But are you guys pretty sure the shoutbox is causing it?

I've gotten this database error twice since installing vbshout...
Database error in vBulletin :

Code:

mysql_connect(): Host '217.160.230.138' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server xxxxxxxxxxxxx/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 273



MySQL Error  :

My shoutbox hasn't slowed down my server too much (I have an avg of 30-40 registered members on at any given minute, and guests cannot see the shoutbox). However, I increased the refresh to 15000 I think, and that will be the first thing I go to change again if when/if I need to. At worst, I'm sure the shoutbox can be slightly altered to show up on it's own page, with no refresh (basically, the archive view but with the ability to shout).

If anyone is saying their shoutbox is slowing down their server, and what you really mean to say is it's taking longer for your *page* to finish loading, I assume you either have all "extras" (smileys and formatting) disabled, OR have taken this out of your template, to kill the smiley pre-loading?

I did this, and my vbshout area loads almost twice as fast now:

PHP Code:


		
			
//make it load quicker, take smileys out of vbshout without giving up the formatting extras or ability to use :smiley codes:

//remove this from forumhome_vbshout:



<div id='shout_emo' style='display:none'>

        <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

        <tr>

            <td class="tcat" align="center">

                Emoticons

            </td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

            <td class='alt2' width='100%' height='100%' align='center' valign='top'>

                $ Smilie_Build

            </td>

        </tr>

        </table>

    <br />

</div>

and

PHP Code:


		
			
//remove this from forumhome_vbshout.. might occur twice in the page, I forget:

<input type='button' class='button' value='Smilies' onclick='sb_Smilies(this)' />

?

edit - oh, and of course you would take out the smilie sql query near the top of the plugin "vBShout [Template Alteration]"

Those code changes make a definate improvement. Thank you.

(I prefer users not have smilies in the shoutbox anyway :-) )

I'm just making sure that I will be removing all of this??
