That would allow easy placement in a widget, which would be highly desirable. Eagerly awaiting this new function!

I would leave it for now i will be realeasing a quick fix for 0.6.9 some time today.

That would cause the JS to be inserted twice ;P no need for that now.

Anyway planned features for 0.7:
-Setting to select instant / typed messages
-Shoutbox name will use a phrase for easy editing
-New topic alerts - can be disabled on a global and per forum basis
-New topic reply alerts - can be disabled on a global and per forum basis
-Detached Shoutbox (full page)
-New method of embedding
-Message style options
-More PHP 5.3 fixes (yes i managed to replicated one of the errors and fixed it for the next release)
-Maybe some new commands (Not confirmed)
-Maybe a CMS Widget (Not confirmed)

[technishawn]

it would be cool to also see a setting for an automatic alert when someone logs in/out of the forum

I see an image in the zip with a "Who is online" -- is this a future feature or did I miss a setting?
