[high]Staff Edit/Update[/high]
I have released an updated version of this hack (version 2.0.1), this version fixes some security issues with this hack. All version prior to this one allow users to insert html in their shouts, this can cause problems with them using html that breaks the site layout or malicious javascript. Download the new zip file (vBshout_fixed.zip) and upload the new vbshout.php file to patch/upgrade. If you want to manual instructions they are in the zip file, in the file bugfixes.txt
Second Staff update
I've uploaded a new version of this hack, dubbed '2.0.2'. This one should fix the html injection issues without breaking special characters. To upgrade, download the new zip file and upload the new vbshout.php file.
Please note that this only fixes the html injection issues. I do not use this hack on my own forum (although I've tested this on a client's board) so I will not be fixing the server load issues. I suggest you do not install this hack if you can't deal with the extra server load, as it's rather intensive.

The last time he posted in this thread was August. Doesn't look like he's supporting this mod, so asking him directly in this thread for help or info is likely not to get answered. A shame too considering how good the shoutbox is and the potential it has/had. I suggest someone try and pick this up from him.
hi installed and working great,the only problem i have is when i go to who's online it shows user in Viewing The Shoutbox,where is it used to show users in Viewing forum index,but if a member browses the other forums it shows there location properly,how can i fix this?so if a user is using shoutbox it shows and if a member is viewing index in the who's online,i can supply screen shot if needed

same here I was wondering why the most people are viewing the shoutbox,
another question, anybody know where I can change the phrase "viewing the shoutbox" into another language?
Thanks
I just decreased the size of hte vbshout.php file from around 16k to just under 4k
I also decreased the template a.. section by more then 60% by removing any instance of smilies.
So i'll see how this holds up for a day, if there is an extremly significant decrease in bandwidth usaged i'll post the resulting files up.
