@ scottct1 : Err... normaly the unregistered can't post, but i've already heard about unregistered being able to post with a username apearing as blank... Your idea to ban the ' ' user seems good to me .

As for having 5 'shouts/chats' visible when the chatbox is reduced, you will have to look at your root index.php and find :

PHP Code:

    $chat_result = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM chatbox ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1");
    if(!mysql_num_rows($chat_result)){
        eval("\$chatbit = \"".gettemplate('chatbox_bit_vide')."\";");
        eval("\$chatbox = \"".gettemplate('chatbox_fermee')."\";");
    }else{
        $chat_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($chat_result);
        $name = $chat_row["name"];
        $comment = $chat_row["comment"];
        $date = $chat_row["date"];
        $date = date("Y") . "-" . substr($date, 4, 2) . "-" . substr($date, 1, 2) . " " . substr($date, 7, 2) . ":" . substr($date, 10, 2);
        $date = date("[d/m|H:i]", strtotime($date) + ($bbuserinfo['timezoneoffset'] * 3600));
        $comment = parseurl($comment);
        $comment = ereg_replace("sessionhash=[a-z0-9]{32}", "", $comment);
        $comment = ereg_replace("s=[a-z0-9]{32}", "", $comment);
        $comment = bbcodeparse($comment);
        $comment = str_replace("<br />"," ",$comment);
        $comment = str_replace("<br>"," ",$comment);
        $comment = swear($comment);
        if(substr($comment,0,3) == "/me"){
            $comment = stripslashes(substr($comment,3));
            eval("\$chatbit = \"".gettemplate('chatbox_bit_me')."\";");
        }else{
            $colorirc = $un_color_chat;
            $comment = stripslashes($comment);
            eval("\$chatbit = \"".gettemplate('chatbox_bit')."\";");
        } 


and replace it by that :

PHP Code:

    $chat_result = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM chatbox ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5");
    if(!mysql_num_rows($chat_result)){
        eval("\$chatbit = \"".gettemplate('chatbox_bit_vide')."\";");
        eval("\$chatbox = \"".gettemplate('chatbox_fermee')."\";");
    }else{
        while($chat_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($chat_result)){
            $name = $chat_row["name"];
            $comment = $chat_row["comment"];
            $date = $chat_row["date"];
            $date = date("Y") . "-" . substr($date, 4, 2) . "-" . substr($date, 1, 2) . " " . substr($date, 7, 2) . ":" . substr($date, 10, 2);
            $date = date("[d/m|H:i]", strtotime($date) + ($bbuserinfo['timezoneoffset'] * 3600));
            $comment = parseurl($comment);
            $comment = ereg_replace("sessionhash=[a-z0-9]{32}", "", $comment);
            $comment = ereg_replace("s=[a-z0-9]{32}", "", $comment);
            $comment = bbcodeparse($comment);
            $comment = str_replace("<br />"," ",$comment);
            $comment = str_replace("<br>"," ",$comment);
            $comment = swear($comment);
            if(substr($comment,0,3) == "/me"){
                $comment = stripslashes(substr($comment,3));
                eval("\$chatbit .= \"".gettemplate('chatbox_bit_me')."\";");
            }else{
                $colorirc = $un_color_chat;
                $comment = stripslashes($comment);
                eval("\$chatbit .= \"".gettemplate('chatbox_bit')."\";");
            }
        } 


I think it will work... tell me how it goes as it's just theory, I haven't tryed on an active forum .
