After a few hours of scouring this thread, looking for other shoutboxes ect... I have finally got it working. The text is a little big, but there is no background anymore. If you go to the shoutbox_main template and remove
it should look like this
Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body class="alt2">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
$shoutbits</table>
</body>
</html>
The text gets bigger, but I'd rather that then a background making so no one can read the shouts.
