If you read instructions received with vBshout mod, you'll find this pretty explaining instructions:

/*================================================= ==============/*================================================= =====================*\
|| 2. Custom Shoutbox Locations ||
\*================================================ ======================*/

The method for displaying the Shoutbox in custom locations have been
improved upon, and as such the old display method is no longer valid.

If you enter the Instance Manager you'll see that there's a "varname"
display there.

The new syntax for displaying the shoutbox instance is:
{$show[vbshout_VARNAME]}
where VARNAME is the varname you found in the Instance Manager.

For instance, if the "varname" is "instance1" then the code to place
in your template of choice is:
{$show[vbshout_instance1]}
