Erwin, this is a great hack, thank you. I installed this in a test database and it all went well. Only had to change the chmod to 777 in the shoutbox_config file and all went without a hitch.
The trouble is that I can't seem to get this to work in my regular database. I've installed and uninstalled three times and I am repeatedly coming up with this error message (yes, I deleted the shoutbox files in the database before I reinstalled, yes, I've tried it with the new templates installer, it just gave me more errors...
the error for the original install is as follows:
Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.6:
Invalid SQL: CREATE TABLE `shoutbox` (`id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL default '', `comment` TEXT NOT NULL, `date` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (`id`))
mysql error: Table 'shoutbox' already exists
mysql error number: 1050

Is it saying the shoutbox already exists because it somehow connects to the test database? (again, I've repeatedly deleted the forum "home" database and started fresh).
And why does the script show double "forum/forum" ?
Sorry if this doesn't make sense, but I'm confused.
