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.

Today I got an e-mail from my sys admin informing me he was blocking shoutbox until further notice due to a potential security risk with the software.

He also pointed me to this link
http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index....ingle&id=11668

Can anyone provide me with a little information as to what exactly he's talking about and what's going on?

CuriousGeorge, this shoutbox and the shoutbox on the Nessus are two extremely different things!

[CuriousGeorge]

OK, thanks, my mistake

count me in on this. The page refreshing is a pain.

Quick question.

When I am uploading to my Forums Directory, do I just transfer the entire Upload folder or do I open that folder and upload each thing into it's resepcted area? I tried to upload the folder (and all it's contents) just the way it is, but I don't think that's right. Before I go and upload each individual thing in the Uploads folder, I thought I would ask first.

TIA!

(hope this made sense)
