[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.

Well, been a while since I've been to vb.org and released anything, thought i'd break the trend and whip up something quick while I have a little spare time.

Hmm.
Well, using Opera, the text isn't colored.
Using IE and Mozilla, it's stuck at " Loading..."
Go to the actual url: yoursite.com/forums/vbshout.php, see if it shows a db error.
Also i don't ensure the JS works with browsers like Opera, i keep to the JS standards, however i just tested in Opera and Netscape (newest versions) and it completely works, apart from the colours in the drop down menu don't show like you said in "Opera", but probably a problem on there side.
Yes, javascript is enabled.
IE shows an error loading the forum index (which has the shoutbox), but not when loading any forums.
Not sure if it's related to vbshout of course.
Hrm, thats the vbulletin_menu.js file, try pressing ctrl+F5 for a hard refresh, if that doesn't do the trick no worries, i'm releasingv1.5 in a moment which has a new visual display element for emoticons.
Does the new pending version still load smilies? I'd much prefer a simple popup box that doesn't load 'em until you click it.
As far as what to remove to the question asked above, you also have to remove the script code, or you'll bork the shoutbox. Also, if you just remove the link, the smilies will still load (watch the status bar at the bottom of your browser). But this is all most likely pointless with the new version.

New version released, where you can control the number of smilies shown, also a new better visual display of them
I still can't view it with IE and Mozilla, and I get the same error with IE.
Also, it shows as version 1.4 in Installed Products. (i followed the upgrade instructions)
