It was working ok under VB 3.7.3 until i added myself to the config file as undeletableuser and Super admin.
I haven't been able to get it to work since.

I will try shutting down all the mods i have. Didn't make any difference. Still doesn't work.

I only upgraded to see if it would work under 3.8.2.

3.8.2 is the latest i am able to update to with my license.
I also have a site running Xenforo so i don't want to renew my VB license.

A friend of mine has it working fine on VB 3.7.3

Reverted the config.php file back to the way it was. Still not working.

Have you checked usergroup permissions and/or the deployment settings?

To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
