I hope this Shoutbox is soon available for vB4.x because there is nothing quite like it. I tried a couple, incl. the vBSHOUT but that one, in the free Version, doesn't have the feature to edit/delete single shouts, which in my oppinion should be a basic feature.

I have this Mod here on my other 3.8.x Site and hope to be able to use it soon for my new vB4.x Site. Thanks for this great Mod !

Cheers

You know, I asked nicely and polite. If you can't get that then maybe you should do what you suggested instead of being rude to other people. You're not even the Author of the Mod, so how about you let him decide how or if to reply to questions like mine.

And thats just being nice in my case. Unlike you I know what to write and when to shut up. Something you might want to check on.

Actually I'm the support for the mod.... And I was just joking around. Maybe you need to take a Xanax. I'm sure if you had to answer the same question for 6 months straight you'd be all chill too right? Sheesh. But I'll say my bad anyways.... Cool?

[tlwwolfseye]

When your father died 3 months ago, would you chill easy ? So my reactions torwards a kinda unprovoked "SHUT UP" from you isn't really what makes me wanna chill these days. But lets just forget I asked.

THE END

[Ranger187]

I lost half my family to cancer. You don't see me using it as a crutch...nor should you be using a death..as an excuse. It comes out when it comes out. It's a free service. End of story.

[robbiefritz]

I remember seeing several posts back that there were some delays and that it would be in beta stage. Let me know if you need any one else to test it. Thanks for your efforts.

[Ranger187]

Robbie, I think it's only personal reasons as to why it's not released so just everyone have some patience and I'm positive that you will see/have the 4.0 version shortly.
