You may also want to add

'chat' => array('GENERIC_SHELL',
'forumhome_vbshout',
),

to the action templates if you use it

i would like to have the shoutbox in a page of it's own. i have added the code above to my vbshout.php template the thing is, i can get the shoutbox in its own window (http://scottishwheelnut.co.uk/forum/vbshout.php?do=chat? which is great but its still on my forum home(http://http://scottishwheelnut.co.uk). is there a way i can remove or hide it from the forum home without disrupting it from the window.

any help here would be gratefully appreciated
