Here is a way to place your Shoutbox WHERE YOU WANT

Simple edit your forumhome template. Create where you want the variable :

 $shout

This will be the place where will appear your shoutbox. But for this, you have to do a last modification :

Go to your Plugin Manager, edit "vBShout [Template Alteration]" and replace $navbar by $shout.

It should be like this

eval('$Shoutbox = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_vbshout') . '";');

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace('$shout','$shout $Shoutbox',$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);
