Currently vBShout doesn't "work" in any version of vb5 without major issues... The session does not seem to correspond correctly with vb5 session activity so users are constantly forced to logout and login to refresh their chat session in order to keep chatting (sending shouts doesn't refresh the session). This manifests itself by messages not being displayed and the chat window not refreshing. Increasing the vb5 session timeout to over an hour seems to help remedy this situation because some vb5 process renews the session variable every hour.

Unfortunately vBShout has decided it is not worth their effort to fix vb5 mods yet since vB5 isn't popular enough. It's kinda a chicken and an egg thing and it's a shame. I personally wish VSA Chat would create a vb5 version, but in the end I'll likely just make my own shout box since nobody seems to be making vb5 mods.
