Shoutbox Hack 1.04b

11/09/04 - Version 1.04b. Just an installer upgrade, nothing more. Nothing to see here, move along.

10/22/04 - Version 1.04a released. This is not an upgrade from 1.04. If you already have 1.04 installed, don't worry about this. This release just updates the installer and fixes any errors in it. If you had problems installing it last time, this should work better. If you need support, posting it here may get it answered, though posting at the board at GeekyDesigns.com is prefered.

This is the same hack formerly released by Link14716.

08/30/04 4:19 PM EDT: Fixed a settings bug (I hope): see this post.

08/29/04: Shoutbox 1.04 is released, featuring a new installer system (using the Hack Installer System) and redone templates, as well as a few bug fixes. Enjoy.

Presenting: The Shoutbox Hack


Support posts made at GeekyDesigns.com have a higher priority than posts made in this thread, and is the prefered way of getting support.



There are way too many features to list, so I'll just let the screenshots do the talking.

Is there something to add in phrases? I think its part of the vbulletin_options phrase maybe?

okay install went fine but i have a couple minor design issues.

1.how do i change the horizontal lines they look like crap
2. how can i change the Shout input button to match the style of post box. i do not like the white . i have my post box in ie where its blue but this is white
3, the background of the shoutbox on forum home i am taking it is following the background of the page how can i manually eidt these options so i can custimize it to fit my forum besides that great work.
