update:
well i figured out what was causing the problem i was having (screenshot is 2 post up). it was something i added to the headerinclude template.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.nimpy.com/forums/clientscript/statistic_java.js"></script>
this code is required by the statistic hack (
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=74603) and this particular line of code counts how many visitors we get a day. so it's pretty vital that we keep this code somewhere. but where it is now it's creating the shoutbox problem. is there anything i can change with the shoutbox hack to fix this?
thanks again,
warren
