[high]Staff Edit/Update[/high]
I have released an updated version of this hack (version 2.0.1), this version fixes some security issues with this hack. All version prior to this one allow users to insert html in their shouts, this can cause problems with them using html that breaks the site layout or malicious javascript. Download the new zip file (vBshout_fixed.zip) and upload the new vbshout.php file to patch/upgrade. If you want to manual instructions they are in the zip file, in the file bugfixes.txt
Second Staff update
I've uploaded a new version of this hack, dubbed '2.0.2'. This one should fix the html injection issues without breaking special characters. To upgrade, download the new zip file and upload the new vbshout.php file.
Please note that this only fixes the html injection issues. I do not use this hack on my own forum (although I've tested this on a client's board) so I will not be fixing the server load issues. I suggest you do not install this hack if you can't deal with the extra server load, as it's rather intensive.

If i can make a suggestion to those wanting to change the background color's, just add more style's to your site.........this way if a user choose's something like red2black, the back ground will be black.......I currently have 11 styles on my site for user's to choose from.......
thank you, but I want a stock off-white background on the sb in all of my styles (I have 5 styles)

One quick option you can look at doing is going into your template/styles, click go, scroll down to "First Alternating Collor, and change the #e1e4f2 to #ffffff and then click save css.............that will give you a white back ground there......
I have a question. I am fairly new to vB so I apologize ahead of time for asking a stupid question. I did try to do a search but didn't come up with anything regarding my problem. I hope that somebody here can help me.
I have the shoutbox working on the default skin. I just added another skin and the shoutbox is not showing up. Where do I go to get it to show up? I'm sure it's something really easy but I just can't figure it out.

Thanks a BUNCH to whoever can help me with this.
You need to make sure that you set your additional style as a child.....when you go to your admincp and click on style/templates, be sure that your original style has a check mark next to it and the new style you uploaded has a check mark in the box next to it........
Hey I could not look through 56 pages, got overwhelmed after about 25 but I have a question.
Is there a way to put that on a separate page, if I am using VBadvanced CMPS and can create templated pages. Wouldn't that turn it into a simple Chat program? I would love that. A place where everyone can just chat, but would not interfere with the forumhome layout.
