That is it, Enjoy!

Thank again, Retell

Nevermind

Is there a way to make it a bit Taller like the normal shoutbox? With it showing barely 2 shouts at a time makes it a hassle to scroll down to see the earlier messages.

[Ramsesx]

Very cool, easy installation works perfect, thanks a lot.

Sure, to make it the same size as the one on the forum
In the arcade template

Find:

<div id="vbshout" style="overflow:auto;height:46px;width:100%;">

Replace with

<div id="vbshout" style="overflow:auto;height:100px;width:100%;">

Thanks works great

[Krose]

installed! thank you!

[PJSkiboy]

'clicks install'

Brilliant. Now the 4 or 5 members on my forums that literally live in the arcade can have a clue as to what's going on in the outside world, lol.

Thanks a million.

[Tyegurl]

well i have a simple fix for all to show their shoutbox on all pages....if you are interested let me know. i modified only the name but its templated edits. and names only bcuz obviously its not on just the arcade now.

hope you don't mind.

however i did just see a release for vbshout on all pages lmfao....just as i realized i could do this!!! what a waste of time. lmfao!!

oh hell i will just tell you the templates i edited....

SHOWTHREAD
FORUMDISPLAY
CALENDAR
any other spot you would like too

after the $navbar i placed this code for the arcade shout.

i did alter the name back to vbshout....i am sorry....

did anyone do this all ready?

[Fragile_Mind]

This is really cool. Thanks heaps! It saves all my members ignoring everyone when they have their heads stuck in the arcade.

One query though, if I may.

There are no formatting options ie, colour, font on the Arcade shoutbox.

Any tips on how I can get this, please.

THanks in advance!

[alsinda]

Great hack, Installed!
one question though. I have my forum setup where shout is only used by mods but the only thing is that registered users see the script error for lack of priveledges. Anyway to have that not show? Thanks..
