vBShout v6.1.0

Improved Shout Templates

• Shout templates (for Shouts, /me, PMs and System Messages) are loaded from the main Shoutbox template
• Takes up less browser memory than old JS templates
• Uses jQuery Templates to achieve the same functionality of the old rendered templates
• Offers greater customisation options without worrying about breaking fragile JavaScript code

Improved JavaScript Performance

• Leverages more advanced jQuery usage to reduce the time it takes to perform JavaScript operations
• Takes up less browser memory as less time is needed to search for the elements in question

Improved Context Menu

• Context Menu is always enabled for every user, offering the same quick links to member profiles and username auto-fill
• Zero performance impact from using it - no longer increases bandwidth usage / data transferred with each AJAX request
• Uses jQuery Templates to achieve the same functionality of the old rendered templates
• Offers greater customisation options without worrying about breaking fragile JavaScript code

(vB3) Modern Shoutbox Editor Controls

• Colour Picker now uses the same "modern" look as the vB4 version of the mod
• Font Face Picker now uses the same "modern" look as the vB4 version of the mod
• Font Size Picker now uses the same "modern" look as the vB4 version of the mod

General / Other

• Fix: Display Order in the Instance Management screen was using the wrong input type.
• Fix: Opening lots of context menus without reloading the page would add "infinite HTML" to the page over time, taking up unneeded memory
• Change: Improved RTL support
• Change: Removed the ability to turn off the Context Menu, to eliminate confusion
