Additional Features

Auto-Idle
The auto-idle system will drastically lower server load on sites with many users on at the same time. It allows you to automatically set the user to "idle" in the shoutbox, meaning the shoutbox will load shouts once, then idle the user until the click the unidle button or make a shout. Afterwards they will idle as normal (as set in the ACP).

Shoutbox Advanced Optimised Protocol
The Shoutbox AOP is a brand new feature that when turned on will dramatically cut server resources/bandwidth used by the shoutbox. Instead of the shoutbox refreshing every X seconds to check if there is new data, it will know when there is new data and only refresh then, meaning when there is no activity in the shoutbox, no resources will be consumed, or bandwidth.

Shoutbox Low Level Logging
The shoutbox low level logging system will provide you with a log of shout edits, deletes, bans, unbans, notices and remove notice commands. This will help you keep track of commands being used in the shoutbox. This can be turned off.

Private Message System
When clicking a username in the shoutbox, it will now open a new "tab" (This is a shoutbox tab, not a browser tab). In this tab you will be able to privately chat to the member where only they and you will see the messages. This helps split private chats and the main chat, and you can have as many private chats open as you like!



vBSEO Issues?
If you're encountering issues with vBSEO this is most likely due to the option within vBSEO to "clean html", you do not need to turn this option off, but you will need to change the plugin for vBShout. Go to the Plugin Manager within your ACP, and find the plugin: "Inferno Shoutbox: Deploy Shoutbox". Edit this plugin, and where you see the option "Execution Order", set this to 1 and save, you should no longer encounter issues.


Note
I'll update screenshots soon! 5am here right now...

Enjoy!

Hi.
Sameone have an ide how to change refreshing time and/or add a refresh button?
Thx
And question : how is with transfer? Im not worried about load, but vbshout was using too much transfer on my shared hosting, something about 2 gb per day! I hope this one is bit better with that

[EuroPk]

sir my shoutbox does nothing but spin the flash logo shout posting its not doing anything other then that.

[EnIgMa1234]

This isnt a flash file^^

[solinarius]

This one is same like previous one. That eat my 2gb of transfer - that can be resolved by changing refresh time and adding refresh button, but how?

[Whatsoever]

Hey i've bought the pro version. I've seen that you can't edit any shouts... If someone spams or something we can't delete the shouts or edit it... We want that back
