Damnz, I just gotta say: this new shoutbox looks amazing vBDev. I've been following the replies and I just got to wait till the next version comes out so hopefully, all the bugs will be fixed. Since I have much faith in your coding qualities, I bet they will all be gone!
I have one request and one question.
Request: Is it possible to get the shoutbox to work together with new posts on the forum. I know InfernoTech made vBShout this way that when a new topic was made, it would announce it in the shoutbox. This is just a lovely feature and I was wondering if you could look into it (if you aren't already).
Question: I read that it's possible to create multiple chatrooms with the same shoutbox. Having multiple chatrooms, is that going to increase the server load? I ask this because I would love to have 4 or 5 rooms for my site. I just don't want a high server load because my site keeps crashing every now and then with the current shoutbox as it is.
Many thanks for creating this lovely shoutbox Dev. Can't wait for the next version.
About the new topic announcement, it is something that could be done yes but It wouldn't use the command system which might be a bit bad
Anyway this is not a feature I would develop right now.
About the rooms, no It doesn't add server load.
However, the way I coded it, to add a room you have to attach a command to it. So to create new rooms you would have to kinda modify the team command to make 5 different commends (replacing all "team" by another word should do it ).
